Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Accel 25 Click is based on the MXC4005XC, a highly reliable digital triaxial acceleration from MEMSIC. The MXC4005XC is highly configurable with a programmable acceleration range of ±2g, ±4g, or ±8g based on MEMSIC's proprietary thermal technology built with a 0.18μm standard CMOS process. It contains no moving sensor parts, eliminating field reliability and repeatability issues; no measurable resonance (immunity to vibration), stiction, or detectable hysteresis exists. The MXC4005XC also eliminates the "click" sounds typically heard in ball-based orientation sensors.
The shock survival of this MEMS sensing structure is greater than 200,000g. This sensor provides X/Y/Z axis acceleration signals with a low 0g offset and temperature signals with high accuracy. In addition, it also detects six orientation positions, X/Y shake, and shakes directions. Accel 25 Click communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings capable of operating in a standard or fast mode of operation. The acceleration signal is provided in 12-bit output resolution. In addition to communication pins, this board also possesses an
additional interrupt pin, routed to the INT pin on the mikroBUS™ socket, for orientation and X/Y shake detections. The MXC4005XC allows users to be placed in a Power-Down mode enabled through the I2C interface. 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
Flip&Click PIC32MZ 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 comes with an onboard 32-bit PIC32MZ microcontroller, the PIC32MZ2048EFH100 from Microchip, four mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, two USB connectors, LED indicators, buttons, debugger/programmer connectors, and two headers compatible with Arduino-UNO pinout. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology,
it allows you to build gadgets with unique functionalities and features quickly. Each part of the Flip&Click PIC32MZ development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition, there is the possibility of choosing the Flip&Click PIC32MZ programming method, using the chipKIT bootloader (Arduino-style development environment) or our USB HID bootloader using mikroC, mikroBasic, and mikroPascal for PIC32. This kit includes a clean and regulated power supply block through the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector. All communication
methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, user-configurable buttons, and LED indicators. Flip&Click PIC32MZ development kit allows 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.

*
* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of Accel 25 click board by reading and displaying
* accel data (X, Y, and Z axis) as well as temperature measurements on the USB UART.
*
* 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 accel data (X, Y, and Z axis) as well as temperature measurements
* on the USB UART every 100ms approximately.
