Hardware Overview

How does it work?

BL653 Click is based on the BL653, a longer-range Bluetooth LE  module for next-generation industrial IoT from Ezurio. This module, powered by Nordic’s nRF52833 silicon, integrates a powerful Cortex-M4F microcontroller, offering 512kB of flash memory and 128kB of RAM for hostless operation and efficient application processing. With its multi-wireless capabilities (Bluetooth v5.4 and NFC) and modular certifications for FCC, ISED, EU, RCM, MIC, KC, AS/NZS, and Bluetooth SIG, the BL653 Click ensures quick and hassle-free deployment in global markets. It represents the future of wireless Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connectivity to implement reliable wireless communication in even the harshest operating environments. This Click board™ provides a wide range of configurable interfaces, including UART, I2C, SPI, USB, and NFC, allowing easy integration into diverse industrial systems. It supports peripheral and central Bluetooth LE roles, enabling data collection, device control, and proximity-sensing applications. Its support for Bluetooth 5.4 features like direction finding (AoA and AoD) and multiple data rates, including 2Mbps, 1Mbps, and 125kbps coded PHY, ensures high-performance communication over long distances. It can be easily programmed using a simple AT command set, Zephyr RTOS, or the

Nordic SDK, allowing developers to create event-driven, automated applications or implement custom solutions. This Click board™ establishes communication between the BL653 module and the host MCU through a UART interface, using standard UART RX and TX pins and hardware flow control via CTS and RTS pins. The default communication speed is set at 115200bps, ensuring efficient data exchange. The host MCU configures communication and other features using high-level AT commands, making it easy to manage without requiring in-depth knowledge of Bluetooth protocol. Additionally, the board includes an SPI interface with a maximum clock speed of 8MHz and an I2C interface with a maximum clock speed of 400kHz. In addition to the interface pins, the board features a reset (RST) pin for hard resetting the module when necessary and an ARN pin as AutoRUN signal of the BL653 module that selects between the two BL653 operating modes at power-up: self-contained run mode or interactive/development mode. This board also includes a USB Type-C connector for USB 2.0 Full Speed 12Mbps hardware capability, allowing both power supply and configuration via a PC. This functionality is enabled by the CP2102N, a highly integrated USB-to-UART bridge, along with the

NCP1117 LDO regulator, which converts the USB supply to the necessary 3.3V for the module. BL653 Click also includes dedicated pins for NFC support, fully compliant with the NFC Forum specification. This feature operates at 13.56MHz with a data rate of 106kbps, supporting NFC Type 2 and Type 4 tag emulation. It offers multiple modes of operation, including disable, sense, and activated, providing flexibility for integrating advanced NFC functionalities into your applications. Additionally, the board features two user-configurable buttons (BTN1 and BTN2) and two user-configurable LED indicators (a blue LED1 and an orange LED2) for customizable user interaction and status indication. For development and debugging purposes, the Click board™ is equipped with unsoldered pins for an SWD interface, enabling easy access to programming and debugging functionalities. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. It also comes equipped with a library containing functions and example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Features overview

Development board

6LoWPAN Clicker is a compact starter development board that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit PIC microcontroller, the PIC32MX470F512H from Microchip, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a mikroProg connector, and a header for interfacing with external electronics. Along with this microcontroller, the board also contains a 2.4GHz ISM band transceiver, allowing you to add wireless communication to your target application. Its compact design provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere

and under any circumstances. Each part of the 6LoWPAN Clicker development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the 6LoWPAN Clicker programming method, using USB HID mikroBootloader, or through an external mikroProg connector for PIC, dsPIC, or PIC32 programmer, the Clicker board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. The USB Micro-B connection can provide up to 500mA of current for the Clicker board, which is more than enough to operate all onboard and additional modules, or it can power

over two standard AA batteries. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, reset button, and several buttons and LED indicators. 6LoWPAN Clicker is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem, allowing you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.
