2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click board, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and
right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers
are included with the board in the package. 1

Proximity 2 click is an excellent
prototyping platform for the MAX44000
IC. The chip (in a optically transparent
package contains an array of photodiodes
that convert light to current, which is in turn
converted into a digital value. With only a
2mm x 2mm footprint, MAX44000 is ideal
for handheld accessories (smartphones
