Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Thermo 2 Click is based on the DS1825, a digital thermometer that provides 9 to 12-bit temperature measurements and communicates over a 1-Wire interface from Analog Devices. The sensor has an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, with an accuracy of ±0.5°C over a standard range of -10°C to +85°C, and an alarm function with NV user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. Temperature measurements are sent to the MCU using the 1-Wire interface requiring only one data line that can power the sensor parasitically. A wide span of good qualities makes it ideal for various applications, including HVAC environmental controls, temperature monitoring systems inside buildings,
equipment/machinery, and process monitoring and control systems. This Click board™ communicates with MCU using the 1-Wire interface that, by definition, requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with MCU. The 1-Wire communication line is routed to the GP jumper allowing the 1-Wire communication signal to the PWM pin or the AN pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. These pins are labeled GP0 and GP1, respectively, the same as the SMD jumper positions, making selecting the desired pin straightforward. The DS1825 also features four address select jumpers for setting a unique ID for the sensor allowing up to 16 sensors to operate on a single 1-Wire bus. These address pins, ADR0-
ADR3, are programmed by the user and determine the value of the last four LSBs of the I2C address, which can be selected by positioning onboard SMD jumpers labeled as ADR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 1 or 0. This way, the DS1825 provides the opportunity of the 64 possible different location addresses by positioning the SMD jumper to an appropriate position. 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. However, the Click board™ 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.

* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of Thermo 2 Click board by reading
* and displaying the temperature in Celsius.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.
*
* ## Application Task
* Reads and displays the temperature measured by the Click board on the USB UART
* approximately every 800ms as this matches the required conversion time for 12-bit
* temperature resolution.
