Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Unique ID Click is based on the DS2401, a guaranteed unique 64-bit ROM ID chip from Analog Devices. The 64-bit ROM includes a unique 48-bit serial number, an 8-bit CRC, and an 8-bit Family Code (01h). Its internal ROM is accessed via a single data line with a communication speed of up to 16.3Kbps. In perspective, multiple DS2401 devices can reside on a common 1-Wire net, with a built-in multidrop controller that ensures compatibility with other 1-Wire devices. The
DS2401 features presence pulse acknowledgment when the reader first applies a voltage, where the power for reading and writing the device is derived from the data line itself. The Unique ID Click uses a 1-Wire bus interface to communicate to the host MCU through one of the GPIOs (GP0, GP1) of the mikroBUS™ socket, selectable by the onboard GPIO SEL jumper. This protocol defines bus transactions regarding the bus state during specified time slots initiated on the falling edge of
sync pulses from the host bus. All data is read and written the least significant bit first. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the PWR SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. However, the 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
UNI Clicker is a compact development board designed as a complete solution that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different ARM, PIC32, dsPIC, PIC, and AVR from various vendors like Microchip, ST, NXP, and TI (regardless of their number of pins), four mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a debugger/programmer connector, and two 26-pin headers for interfacing with external electronics. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, it allows you to build
gadgets with unique functionalities and features quickly. Each part of the UNI Clicker development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the UNI Clicker programming method, using a third-party programmer or CODEGRIP/mikroProg connected to onboard JTAG/SWD header, the UNI Clicker board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. It provides two ways of board-powering; through the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector, where onboard voltage regulators provide the appropriate voltage levels to each component on the board, or using a Li-Po/Li
Ion battery via an onboard battery connector. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board (plus USB HOST/DEVICE), including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and several user-configurable buttons and LED indicators. UNI 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.
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™.
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.

* @file main.c
* @brief UNIQUE ID Click example.
*
* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of UNIQUE ID click board by reading and
* displaying Family Code and Serial Number on the UART Terminal.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes both logger config object and
* click config object.
*
* ## Application Task
* Demonstrates the usage of uniqueid_read_id function,
* which stores the Family Code and Serial Number of the click in
* family_code and serial_num variables. Both values will be displayed
* on the UART Terminal.
