Hardware Overview
How does it work?
SHT Click is based on the SHT31-DIS, a humidity and temperature sensor from Sensirion. The SHT31-DIS is a robust and reliable sensor, and even when exposed to conditions outside its normal range, it can recalibrate itself once conditions stabilize. The sensor performs best when operated within the recommended normal temperature and humidity range of 5°C up to 60°C and 20%RH up to 80%RH, respectively. Long-term exposure to conditions outside the normal range, especially at high humidity, may temporarily offset the RH signal. After returning to the normal temperature
and humidity range, the sensor will slowly return to a calibration state by itself. Also, note that prolonged exposure to extreme conditions may accelerate aging. The SHT Click communicates with the host MCU using an I2C interface over the mikroBUS™ socket, with communication speeds of up to 1MHz. This Click board™ allows the selection of one of two available I2C addresses via the ADDR jumper, where I2C address 0 is selected by default. To reset the SHT31-DIS sensor, there is an RST pin with an active LOW state. The SHT31-DIS also features alert functions and can send
interrupt signals over the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. The output of this pin depends on the RH/T reading relative to programmable limits. 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. 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
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
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 application enables usage of the temperature and humidity sensor.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initialize the communication interface and configure the Click board.
*
* ## Application Task
* Temperature and humidity data is measured and read from the sensor.
* After the data has been read it is displayed on the serial port.
