Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Smart DOF 3 Click is based on the ISM330IS, an iNEMO inertial module from STMicroelectronics. There are three modes of operation in which both the accelerometer and gyroscope can be turned on/off independently of each other and are allowed to have different ODRs and power modes. It has a full-scale 3-axis selectable acceleration in a range of ±2/±4/±8/±16g. There are also self-test modes, both angular and linear, for acceleration. The 3-axis gyroscope comes in a selectable full-scale rate range of ±125/±250/±500/±1000/±2000dps. In addition to those two sensors, the third one is an embedded temperature sensor, whose values are used for calibration purposes. The ISPU core executes signal processing and AI algorithms on edge, and its main benefits are C programming and an enhanced ecosystem with libraries and third-party tools/IDE. The ISPU has 32KB of program RAM, 8KB of data RAM, and an FPU supporting addition, subtraction, and multiplication. It also features programmable interrupts and an embedded
sensor hub, which, besides an accelerometer and gyroscope, includes four more external sensors that can be connected directly to the ISM330IS and its internal master I2C lines. This I2C interface can connect over the 5-pin top header, which includes master SDA, SCL, and Ready pins (MSDA, MSCL, MRDY). To use this I2C interface, you must set all three MI2C SEL jumpers in the ON position (OFF set by default). Smart DOF 3 Click can communicate with the host MCU by selecting one between the I2C and SPI interfaces over the COMM SEL jumper, where the I2C is selected by default. All four jumpers must be set into the appropriate position for this Click board™ to work properly. The standard 2-Wire I2C interface supports fast mode (400KHz) and fast mode plus (1MHz) clock frequencies. The I2C address can be selected over the ADDR SEL jumper, where 0 is set by default. If your choice is the SPI, this Click board™ supports both 3- and 4-Wire SPI serial interfaces with clock frequencies up to 100MHz. This Click board™ can be reset over the RST pin.
There are also two programmable interrupt pins, IT1 and IT2. The IT2 is a shared pin with the master I2C interface, so this interrupt pin will not be available if you use an external sensor. You can assign one of the interrupts to a different sensor so you know which sensor detected the movement. Depending on the usage of the ISM330IS, there are two mode connections. Both Mode 1 and Mode 2 can work in all supported types of communication between the IC and the host MCU. Mode 1 is when only this IC and the host MCU are in a communication connection. Mode 2 is the scene where, in addition to the Mode 1 connection, there are external sensors connected over the master I2C to the ISM330IS. 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
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.

* # Description
* This library contains API for Smart DOF 3 Click driver.
* The library initializes and defines the I2C and SPI bus drivers to
* write and read data from registers, as well as the default
* configuration for reading accelerator and gyroscope data.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* The initialization of I2C or SPI module, log UART, and additional pins.
* After the driver init, the app executes a default configuration.
*
* ## Application Task
* This example demonstrates the use of the Smart DOF 3 Click board™.
* Measures and displays acceleration and gyroscope data for X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis.
* Results are being sent to the UART Terminal, where you can track their changes.
