Hardware Overview
How does it work?
BT Audio 2 Click is based on BM62, a Bluetooth stereo audio module from Microchip. It includes advanced audio features, such as multi-band dynamic range control, parametric multi-band equalizer, audio widening, and virtual bass are inbuilt. The audio effect algorithms improve the user’s audio listening experience in terms of better audio quality after audio signal processing. The input and output audios have different stages, and each stage can be programmed to vary the gain response characteristics. A Digital Signal Processor (DSP) performs speech and audio processing. Advanced speech features, such as acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction, are built. To
reduce nonlinear distortion and to help echo cancellation, an outgoing signal level to the speaker is monitored and adjusted to avoid saturation of speaker output or microphone input. BT Audio 2 Click supports one analog (line-in) signal from the external audio source. The DSP can process the analog (line-in) signal to generate different sound effects (multi-band dynamic range compression and audio widening), which can be configured using the DSP tool. Also, the module has an AFH function to avoid RF interference. It has an algorithm to check the nearby interference and to choose a clear channel for the transceiver Bluetooth signal. The on-chip Power Management
Unit (PMU) has two main features: a lithium-ion and lithium-polymer battery charger and a voltage regulator. A power switch switches the power source between the battery and an adapter. Also, the PMU provides current to drive two LEDs. The LED and button settings can be configured. This Click Board™ uses the UART communication interface and is designed to be operated only with a 3.3V logic level. A proper logic voltage level conversion should be performed before the Click board™ is used with MCUs with different logic levels.
Features overview
Development board
PIC18F57Q43 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit is a cutting-edge hardware platform designed to evaluate microcontrollers within the PIC18-Q43 family. Central to its design is the inclusion of the powerful PIC18F57Q43 microcontroller (MCU), offering advanced functionalities and robust performance. Key features of this evaluation kit include a yellow user LED and a responsive
mechanical user switch, providing seamless interaction and testing. The provision for a 32.768kHz crystal footprint ensures precision timing capabilities. With an onboard debugger boasting a green power and status LED, programming and debugging become intuitive and efficient. Further enhancing its utility is the Virtual serial port (CDC) and a debug GPIO channel (DGI
GPIO), offering extensive connectivity options. Powered via USB, this kit boasts an adjustable target voltage feature facilitated by the MIC5353 LDO regulator, ensuring stable operation with an output voltage ranging from 1.8V to 5.1V, with a maximum output current of 500mA, subject to ambient temperature and voltage constraints.

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 BT Audio 2 Click Example.
*
* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of BT Audio 2 click board by reading the commands
* received from remote device and performing adequate actions accordingly.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and configures the click board.
*
* ## Application Task
* Reads all the received events and parses them.
*
* ## Additional Function
* - static err_t btaudio2_event_handler ( btaudio2_t *ctx ) - This function handles SPP data event
* and several BTM state events added in. The other events will just be displayed on the USB UART in hex format.
*
* @note
* We have used the Serial Bluetooth Terminal smartphone application for the test.
* A smartphone and the click board must be paired in order to exchange messages
* with each other. So make sure to pair your device with the click board and
* connect it to using the Serial Bluetooth Terminal application, then you will be able
* to send commands listed below.
