Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Barometer 12 Click is based on the ICP-10125, a high-accuracy, low-power, 10-atm waterproof barometric pressure and temperature sensor from TDK InvenSense. It is a very accurate sensor and can measure pressure differences with an accuracy of ±1 Pa, enabling altitude measurement differentials as small as 8.5 cm, less than the height of a single stair step. In addition to high accuracy, this sensor consumes only 1.3μA at 1Hz, making it ideal for battery-powered applications.
According to the datasheet table, the sensor performs best with the recommended temperature and pressure range. The sensor works at 1.8V, which it gets from the AP2112, a CMOS LDO regulator from Diodes Incorporated. Barometer 12 Click uses a standard 2-Wire I2C interface to communicate with the host MCU, supporting clock frequency up to 400KHz. To allow safe sensor operation on both 5V and 3.3V voltage logic, this Click board™ features the PCA9306, a
dual bidirectional I2C bus and SMBus voltage-level translator from Texas Instruments. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VIO SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can 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
Arduino UNO is a versatile microcontroller board built around the ATmega328P chip. It offers extensive connectivity options for various projects, featuring 14 digital input/output pins, six of which are PWM-capable, along with six analog inputs. Its core components include a 16MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an
ICSP header, and a reset button, providing everything necessary to power and program the board. The Uno is ready to go, whether connected to a computer via USB or powered by an AC-to-DC adapter or battery. As the first USB Arduino board, it serves as the benchmark for the Arduino platform, with "Uno" symbolizing its status as the
first in a series. This name choice, meaning "one" in Italian, commemorates the launch of Arduino Software (IDE) 1.0. Initially introduced alongside version 1.0 of the Arduino Software (IDE), the Uno has since become the foundational model for subsequent Arduino releases, embodying the platform's evolution.

Accessories
Click Shield for Arduino UNO has two proprietary mikroBUS™ sockets, allowing all the Click board™ devices to be interfaced with the Arduino UNO board without effort. The Arduino Uno, a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P, provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new concepts and build prototypes with the ATmega328P microcontroller from various combinations of performance, power consumption, and features. The Arduino Uno has 14 digital input/output pins (of which six can be used as PWM outputs), six analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator (CSTCE16M0V53-R0), a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and reset button. Most of the ATmega328P microcontroller pins are brought to the IO pins on the left and right edge of the board, which are then connected to two existing mikroBUS™ sockets. This Click Shield also has several switches that perform functions such as selecting the logic levels of analog signals on mikroBUS™ sockets and selecting logic voltage levels of the mikroBUS™ sockets themselves. Besides, the user is offered the possibility of using any Click board™ with the help of existing bidirectional level-shifting voltage translators, regardless of whether the Click board™ operates at a 3.3V or 5V logic voltage level. Once you connect the Arduino UNO board with our Click Shield for Arduino UNO, you can access hundreds of Click boards™, working with 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels.

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.

* # Description
* This library contains API for the Barometer 12 Click driver.
* The library initializes and defines the I2C bus drivers
* to write and read data from registers.
* This demo application shows an example of
* atmospheric pressure and temperature measurement.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* The initialization of the I2C module and log UART.
* After driver initialization and default settings,
* the app display device ID.
*
* ## Application Task
* This is an example that shows the use of a Barometer 12 Click board™.
* Logs the atmospheric pressure [ Pa ] and temperature [ degree Celsius ] data.
* Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes.
