Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Thermo 9 Click is based on the TSYS01, a single device, versatile, new technology temperature sensor from TE Connectivity. The TSYS01 provides factory calibrated temperature information and it includes a temperature sensing chip and a 24-bit ΔΣ-ADC. The essence of the digital 24-bit temperature value and the internal calibration values lead to highly accurate temperature information accompanied by high measurement resolution. The TSYS01 can be interfaced to any microcontroller by an I2C or SPI interface. This microcontroller has to calculate the temperature result based on the ADC values and the calibration parameters. The TSYS01 has the SPI and the I2C Interface. When it comes to the I2C
communication, it starts with a start condition and it is ended by a stop condition. Each command consists of two bytes: the address byte and command byte. The SPI communication is a 4-wire SPI bus, operating as a slave. CS (chip select), SCLK (serial clock), SDI (serial data in), and SDO (serial data out) are used to interact with the SPI master. Communication with the chip starts when CS is pulled to low and ends when CS is pulled to high. SCLK is controlled by the SPI master and idles low (SCLK low on CS transitions, mode 0). A mode where the clock alternatively idles high is also supported (mode 3). The basic operating principles of the TSYS01 include several important features. Basically, converting
temperature into digital 16/24 bit ADC value and providing calibration coefficients while also providing ADC value and calibration coefficients by SPI or I2C interface. Given the most notable features of the Thermo 9 Click, it can be used for industrial control, replacement of thermistors and NTCs, heating/cooling systems, and HVAC. The design of the Click board™ itself is such that the thermal radiation from other components, which might affect the environmental temperature readings of the sensor, is reduced. The onboard SMD jumper labeled as VCC SEL allows voltage selection for interfacing with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs.
Features overview
Development board
Nucleo-64 with STM32F091RC MCU offers a cost-effective and adaptable platform for developers to explore new ideas and prototype their designs. This board harnesses the versatility of the STM32 microcontroller, enabling users to select the optimal balance of performance and power consumption for their projects. It accommodates the STM32 microcontroller in the LQFP64 package and includes essential components such as a user LED, which doubles as an ARDUINO® signal, alongside user and reset push-buttons, and a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator for precise timing operations. Designed with expansion and flexibility in mind, the Nucleo-64 board features an ARDUINO® Uno V3 expansion connector and ST morpho extension pin
headers, granting complete access to the STM32's I/Os for comprehensive project integration. Power supply options are adaptable, supporting ST-LINK USB VBUS or external power sources, ensuring adaptability in various development environments. The board also has an on-board ST-LINK debugger/programmer with USB re-enumeration capability, simplifying the programming and debugging process. Moreover, the board is designed to simplify advanced development with its external SMPS for efficient Vcore logic supply, support for USB Device full speed or USB SNK/UFP full speed, and built-in cryptographic features, enhancing both the power efficiency and security of projects. Additional connectivity is
provided through dedicated connectors for external SMPS experimentation, a USB connector for the ST-LINK, and a MIPI® debug connector, expanding the possibilities for hardware interfacing and experimentation. Developers will find extensive support through comprehensive free software libraries and examples, courtesy of the STM32Cube MCU Package. This, combined with compatibility with a wide array of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), including IAR Embedded Workbench®, MDK-ARM, and STM32CubeIDE, ensures a smooth and efficient development experience, allowing users to fully leverage the capabilities of the Nucleo-64 board in their projects.

Accessories
Click Shield for Nucleo-64 comes equipped with two proprietary mikroBUS™ sockets, allowing all the Click board™ devices to be interfaced with the STM32 Nucleo-64 board with no effort. This way, Mikroe allows its users to add any functionality from our ever-growing range of Click boards™, such as WiFi, GSM, GPS, Bluetooth, ZigBee, environmental sensors, LEDs, speech recognition, motor control, movement sensors, and many more. More than 1537 Click boards™, which can be stacked and integrated, are at your disposal. The STM32 Nucleo-64 boards are based on the microcontrollers in 64-pin packages, a 32-bit MCU with an ARM Cortex M4 processor operating at 84MHz, 512Kb Flash, and 96KB SRAM, divided into two regions where the top section represents the ST-Link/V2 debugger and programmer while the bottom section of the board is an actual development board. These boards are controlled and powered conveniently through a USB connection to program and efficiently debug the Nucleo-64 board out of the box, with an additional USB cable connected to the USB mini port on the board. Most of the STM32 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 STM32 Nucleo-64 board with our Click Shield for Nucleo-64, you can access hundreds of Click boards™, working with 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels.

* # Description
* This demoapp measures temperature every 3 seconds.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Logger initialization, Click initialization and calibration.
*
* ## Application Task
* This example shows capabilities of Thermo 9 Click by measuring
* temperature every 3 seconds and displaying temperature in degrres Celsius
* via USART terminal.
*
* *note:*
* Calibration function must be used once in order to get calibrations!
