Hardware Overview
How does it work?
10x10 RGB Click is based on the WS2812, an intelligent control LED light source from Worldsemi. Its exterior adopts the latest MOLDING packaging technology, and the control circuit and RGB chips are integrated into a package of 2020 components. It's internal includes an intelligent digital port data latch and signal reshaping amplification drive circuit. It also includes a precision internal oscillator and a voltage-programmable constant current control part, ensuring consistent pixel point light color height. The data transfer protocol use single NZR communication mode. After the pixel power-on reset, the DIN port receive data from controller, the first pixel collect initial 24bit data then sent to the internal data latch, the other data which reshaping by the internal signal reshaping amplification circuit sent to the next cascade pixel through the DO port. After transmission for each
pixel, the signal to reduce 24bit. pixel adopt auto reshaping transmit technology, making the pixel cascade number is not limited the signal transmission, only depend on the speed of signal transmission. RESET time >280μs , it won't cause wrong reset while interruption, it supports the lower frequency and inexpensive MCU. Refresh Frequency updates to 2KHz, Low Frame Frequency and No Flicker appear in HD Video Camera, it improve excellent display effect. LED with low driving voltage, environmental protection and energy saving, high brightness, large scattering angle, good consistency, low power, long life and other advantages. The control chip integrated in LED above becoming more simple circuit, small volume, convenient installation. 10x10 RGB Click can be used in many applications, like full-color module, full color soft lights a lamp strip, LED decorative lighting, indoor/outdoor LED
irregular screen, game machine and amusement equipment, and more. The INT pin of the mikroBUS™, which is labeled as DO on this Click board™, allows cascading of multiple 10x10 RGB click devices. It simply routes the data line back to the mikroBUS™, allowing it to be re-used for the next 10x10 RGB click, and so on. The length of the whole chain is limited only by the communication speed, required to scan through all the LED devices, in order to maintain a reasonable refresh speed. 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
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.

* \brief 10x10 RGB Click example
*
* # Description
* This example showcases how to initialize, configure and use the 10x10 RGB Click module. The
* Click has a 10 by 10 RGB LED matrix which can be programmed to show different colors or even
* images. LED elements that form the matrix communicate by a single line with the host MCU.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* This function initializes and configures the Click board.
*
* ## Application Task
* This function first displays 3 chars { R, G, B }, the string "MIKROE", the company logo and
* a rainbow in the end.
*
* @note
* Make sure the logic delays are defined for your system in the c10x10rgb_delays.h file.
