Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Adapter Click represents an adapter board that simplifies the connection of add-ons with IDC10 headers to the mikroBUS™ socket. One 2x5-position 2.54mm pitch header allows you to add sensors, drivers, and various components in a way that suits your project needs. Each header pin corresponds to a pin on the mikroBUS™ socket (except AN and RST pins). Thanks to these pins, the connection with the Click board™ remains firm and stable, always retaining a perfect connection quality. There are two ways to establish such a connection: male or female IDC10 connectors. Both
are provided with the package. You may solder the male IDC10 header on the top side of the Adapter Click and connect the add-on board directly or via IDC10 flat cable. In some cases, a female header socket is a better choice. Solder it either on the top or the bottom side, depending on which is more convenient in given circumstances. Adapter Click allows using both I2C and SPI interfaces, where each mikroBUS™ line is covered, except, as mentioned before, AN and RST lines. The selection can be made by positioning jumpers labeled as INTERFACE SELECTION in an appropriate
position marked as SPI or I2C. Note that all the jumpers' positions must be on the same side, or the Click board™ may become unresponsive. This Click board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the PWR SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to 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
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 via Debug Mode
1. Once the code example is loaded, pressing the "DEBUG" button initiates the build process, programs it on the created setup, and enters Debug mode.
2. After the programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions within the IDE becomes visible. Clicking the green "PLAY" button starts reading the results achieved with the Click board™. The achieved results are displayed in the Application Output tab.

* \brief Adapter Click example
*
* # Description
* Adapter click is a breakout board which simplifies connection of add-on boards.
* There are two ways of establishing connection: using male or female IDC10 connectors.
* Male header must be soldered on the top side of Adapter Click to connect the add-on board
* directly or via flat cable. Female header can be soldered either on the top, or the bottom
* side, depending on which one is more convenient in given circumstances.
* There are two jumpers for SPI/I2C selection and one for selection of power supply range.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initalizes I2C or SPI driver and makes an initial log.
*
* ## Application Task
* This is an example that shows the use of the Adapter click board (SPI mode - set as default).
* In I2C mode we are reading internal temperature from another device (THERMO 5 click board).
* In SPI mode example we are writing "mikroElektronika" to SRAM click board,
* and then reading from the same memory location.
*
* ## Additional Functions
* - float thermo5_read_inter_temp ( adapter_t *ctx ) -
* @description Function reads measurements made by internal diode.
* - void sram_write_byte ( adapter_t *ctx, uint32_t reg_address, uint8_t write_data ) -
* @description Function writes the 8-bit data to the target 24-bit register address of 23LC1024 chip.
* - uint8_t sram_read_byte ( adapter_t *ctx, uint32_t reg_address ) -
* @description Function reads the 8-bit data to the target 24-bit register address of 23LC1024 chip.
