Hardware Overview

How does it work?

OLED C Click is based on the PSP27801, a 25x25mm 96x96px full-color square OLED display from Shenzhen Boxing World Technology. The graphics driver used on this OLED display is the SSD1351, the display driver IC from Solomon Systech. The graphics driver comes with the embedded 128x128x18-bit SRAM display buffer. It is designed to work with a common cathode type of OLED display and has both parallel (8080/6800) and serial interfaces for communication. The SSD1351 controller also has built-in functionalities like vertical and horizontal scrolling, programmable frame rate, row and column remapping, and color swapping, and supports two color modes: 65K (6:5:6) and 262K (6:6:6). The OLED

C Click uses a standard 4-Wire SPI serial interface or parallel to communicate with the host MCU. It also occupies several other pins of the mikroBUS™ socket, such as the RST pin for resetting the OLED display, and the R/W pin of the mikroBUS™ socket is used only for parallel communication, which should be pulled to a LOW logic state when using serial communication as is the case here. The D/C is a data/command pin and is in a tight connection with the CS pin, as when the CS is at the LOW logic level, the display expects data or command. In addition to the display's main power supply, taken from the 3.3V mikroBUS™ power rail, the PSP27801 has another power pin, more precisely, the power supply for its DC/DC

converter circuit. For that reason, this Click board™ uses a low-power onboard step-up converter TPS61041, which can be turned ON or OFF through the EN pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, providing a 15V power supply out of 3.3V mikroBUS™ rail. The EN pin turns the step-up converter ON or OFF and, consequently - the OLED screen itself. 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

Clicker 2 for Kinetis 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 ARM Cortex-M4F microcontroller, the MK64FN1M0VDC12 from NXP Semiconductors, two mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a JTAG programmer connector, and two 26-pin headers for interfacing with external electronics. Its compact design with clear and easily recognizable silkscreen markings allows you to build gadgets with unique functionalities and

features quickly. Each part of the Clicker 2 for Kinetis development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the Clicker 2 for Kinetis programming method, using a USB HID mikroBootloader or an external mikroProg connector for Kinetis programmer, the Clicker 2 board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. It provides two ways of board-powering; through the USB Micro-B cable, where onboard voltage regulators provide the appropriate voltage levels to each component on the board, or

using a Li-Polymer battery via an onboard battery connector. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, reset button, and several user-configurable buttons and LED indicators. Clicker 2 for Kinetis 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

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

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
