Hardware Overview
How does it work?
BT Click is based on the BT121, a dual-mode Bluetooth Smart Ready module solution that gives unparalleled flexibility to integrate Bluetooth Smart and Bluetooth Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate (BR/EDR) wireless technologies from Silicon Labs. It contains a high-performance Bluetooth radio, a low-power ARM Cortex MCU, and a Bluegiga Bluetooth Smart Ready stack software, marking it an extremely easy-to-use device. Also, it contains two configurable power-saving modes. Power Mode 1 is a shallow sleep state with all clocks and peripherals running but with the processor core stopped, while Power Mode 2 is a deep sleep state in which most peripheral devices and system clocks are Power-Down states. The BT121 module generates all the required clock signals internally. The clocks used by the internal MCU and external peripherals are synchronized to an internal 32.768kHz crystal connected to the internal RTC, which is always available to wake up the module. It will take approximately two seconds for the RTC oscillator to stabilize after power is connected. To avoid this delay, it's recommended not to turn off the power supply of the BT121 but to set the module into the lowest power mode,
providing the smallest current consumption. This Click board™ uses the UART communication interface as its default communication protocol that supports all standard baud rates up to 4Mbps. It also allows the user to use the I2C interface to configure the module and write the library himself. In addition to standard UART TX/RX pins, it also has UART RTS/CTS pins routed on the CS and PWM pins of the mikroBUS™ socket recommended for every application for reliable data transfer. It is necessary to mention the way this Click board™ works so that the user can use it correctly. In the example code that MIKROE offers to its users, the Serial Bluetooth Terminal Android application was used. By clicking on the given link, the user is directed to the free Android application on the Play Store that needs to be downloaded and installed to pair his device with BT Click. Only after successful pairing the BT Click will be visible in the Serial Bluetooth Terminal Android application. The BT121 module has built-in firmware that can use the module Update feature. The module can be updated through the UART interface by holding the built-in ARM® Cortex® MCU of the BT121 module in a Reset state via the RST pin, which typically
will free the UART communication lines to be used by the Device Firmware Update protocol (DFU). DFU protocol contains commands and events related to controlling firmware updates over the configured host interface and is available only when the module has been booted into DFU Mode. In addition to all features, the BT Click also has additional components such as 2 LED indicators as well as several onboard pushbuttons. Based on the example code, the blue LED labeled as LED1 indicates the successfully established connection visually, and the red LED labeled as LED 2 reports that establishing the connection is unsuccessful. The onboard pushbuttons don't have a precisely defined function. It can be configured to operate as a standard general-purpose digital I/O's, and they are left to the user to configure them according to their needs. 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. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
PIC32MZ 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 PIC32MZ microcontroller with FPU from Microchip, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a mikroProg connector, and a header for interfacing with external electronics. Thanks to its compact design with clear and easy-recognizable silkscreen markings, it provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under
any circumstances. Each part of the PIC32MZ Clicker development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the PIC32MZ 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, which is more than enough to operate all onboard
and additional modules. 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. PIC32MZ 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.

Application Output
After loading the code example, pressing the "DEBUG" button builds and programs it on the selected setup.
![Application Output Step 1](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed554e-d80f-6694-8cb9-02420a000272/AP-Step1.jpg)
After programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions available in the IDE appears. By clicking the green "PLAY "button, we start reading the results achieved with Click board™.
![Application Output Step 3](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed5550-3c0f-6800-a19f-02420a000272/AP-Step3.jpg)
Upon completion of programming, the Application Output tab is automatically opened, where the achieved result can be read. In case of an inability to perform the Debug function, check if a proper connection between the MCU used by the setup and the CODEGRIP programmer has been established. A detailed explanation of the CODEGRIP-board connection can be found in the CODEGRIP User Manual. Please find it in the RESOURCES section.
![Application Output Step 4](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed5550-d4d0-6b20-a348-02420a000272/AP-Step4.jpg)
Software Support

Key functions:
bt_set_local_name
- This function sets the local name of the device.bt_send_package
- This function sends a data package to the click board.bt_read_package
- This function waits for the command or event type of message to arrive and then reads the complete message and stores it to pkg structure.

Code example
This example can be found in NECTO Studio. Feel free to download the code, or you can copy the code below.
/*!
* @file main.c
* @brief BT Click Example.
*
* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of BT click board.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and configures the click board.
*
* ## Application Task
* Handles most of the events required for this example, the packages of events not
* supported in this example will be just displayed on the USB UART.
* The event handler will display all messages sent from the remote device on the USB UART and
* send back the predefined response message "DONE".
* There are two specific commands which can be sent from the remote device:
* "led blink" - calls @b bt_led_blink function for a 5 seconds time period.
* "check buttons" - calls @b bt_check_buttons function.
*
* ## Additional Function
* - static void bt_event_handler ( bt_t *ctx )
* - static void bt_led_blink ( bt_t *ctx )
* - static void bt_check_buttons ( bt_t *ctx )
*
* @note
* We have used the Serial Bluetooth Terminal smartphone application for the test.
* A smartphone and the click board must be paired in order to exchange messages with each other.
