Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Thermo 30 Click is based on the STS32-DIS-10KS, a third-generation, high-reliability, certified digital temperature sensor from Sensirion. Every sensor has its unique serial number and is supplied with an ISO17025-accredited calibration certificate, which comprises three temperatures: −30°C, 5°C, and 70°C. The calibration is performed on each sensor and granted by the Swiss Accreditation Service. The calibration data and the serial number are stored in the onboard memory. Temperature data can be acquired both in Single Shot and Periodic Data mode as a 16-bit temperature value. The sensor is also equipped with an internal heater that can be used for plausibility checking
only and can be switched on and off through software. The Thermo 30 Click uses a standard 2-Wire I2C interface to communicate with the host MCU with fast-mode support and frequencies up to 1MHz. The I2C address can be selected via the ADDR SEL jumper (0 set by default). The STS32-DIS-10KS can be reset via the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, through a general call, or software as a soft reset. Resetting over the RST pin or through a general call (according to I2C specifications) achieves a full reset, while with the soft reset, the sensor resets the system controller and reloads calibration data from memory. In addition, the Thermo 30 Click comes with an
alert function, a feature that can interrupt the host MCU over the ALR pin of the mikroBUS™ socket if there is an alarm condition. The red ALARM LED stands as a visual presentation of this feature. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Fusion for TIVA v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M based MCUs from Texas Instruments, regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over a WiFi network. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, Fusion for TIVA v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access
anywhere and under any circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for TIVA v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.
Communication options such as USB-UART, USB HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. Fusion for TIVA v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.
2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.
3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.

* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of Thermo 30 click board by reading and displaying
* the temperature measurements.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and resets the device, and
* starts the periodic measurements at 1 mps with high repeatability.
*
* ## Application Task
* Reads the temperature measurement in degrees Celsius and displays the results on the USB UART
* approximately once per second.
