Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Terminal 2 Click is an adapter Click board™ used as a mikroBUS™ socket expansion board. This Click board™ provides an easy and elegant solution for adding the external connection capability to the Click board™ and can be connected to the mikroBUS™ socket like any other Click board™. On the central area of the Terminal 2 Click, two 9-position 2.54mm pitch terminal blocks are placed. Each of the terminal pins corresponds to a pin on the mikroBUS™ socket. Thanks to these terminals, the connection
with the Click board™ remains firm and stable, retaining a perfect connection quality at all times. Lines of the mikroBUS™ socket to which Terminal 2 Click is attached are shared through the onboard connectors, which mirror the connected mikroBUS™ socket pins. Therefore, care should be taken when working with the Terminal 2 Click and connecting an external device to it because the same pins on the mikroBUS™ are shared, either for the communication (SPI, UART, I2C) or for some other purpose (RST, INT, or other pins used as
GPIO). This Click board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. A green LED visually detects the presence of an active power supply labeled as PWR. 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
Curiosity PIC32 MZ EF development board is a fully integrated 32-bit development platform featuring the high-performance PIC32MZ EF Series (PIC32MZ2048EFM) that has a 2MB Flash, 512KB RAM, integrated FPU, Crypto accelerator, and excellent connectivity options. It includes an integrated programmer and debugger, requiring no additional hardware. Users can expand
functionality through MIKROE mikroBUS™ Click™ adapter boards, add Ethernet connectivity with the Microchip PHY daughter board, add WiFi connectivity capability using the Microchip expansions boards, and add audio input and output capability with Microchip audio daughter boards. These boards are fully integrated into PIC32’s powerful software framework, MPLAB Harmony,
which provides a flexible and modular interface to application development a rich set of inter-operable software stacks (TCP-IP, USB), and easy-to-use features. The Curiosity PIC32 MZ EF development board offers expansion capabilities making it an excellent choice for a rapid prototyping board in Connectivity, IOT, and general-purpose applications.

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.

* @file main.c
* @brief Terminal 2 Click Example.
*
* # Description
* This example demonstates the use of Terminal 2 Click board by toggling all its pins.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and logger and sets all pins to low logic state.
*
* ## Application Task
* Toggles all pins from mikroBUS one by one in the span of 1 second between each pin toggle.
