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 4. Essential features AMBIENT click 2 3 Ambient click has a variety of applications. For example, to automatically dim or brighten the backlight intensity on a portable LCD display thats meant to be used in many different lighting conditions this is done both to conserve battery and to increase comfort to the end user. Likewise, it can be used in smart homes to automate lighting Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure and save energy. Indirectly, the presence or the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are absence of light can be used to deduce other Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the relevant information. For example, paper appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. feed detection or paper size and orientation detection in printers and copiers. 1. Introduction 3. Plugging the board in Ambient click is an ambient light sensor click carrying the Melexis MLX75305 IC. This chip Once you have soldered the headers your consists of a photodiode, a transimpendance board is ready to be placed into the desired BOARD amplifier, and an output transistor. It mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the cut www.mikroe.com converts the ambient light intensity into in the lower-right part of the board with the a voltage, using the mikroBUS AN pin markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS for communicating with the target board socket. If all the pins are aligned AMBIENT click manual ver 1.00 microcontroller. The board is designed to use correctly, push the board all either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply. the way into the socket. 01000000791198. Code examples 5. Schematic Once you have done all the necessary preparations, its time to get your click board up and running.
