Bring Your Raspberry Pi® To Life with Click Boards™
The Pi 3 Click Board™ Shield is compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, 2 B, 1 A+ and B+.
The shield has an onboard ADC which enables the measuring of the analogue levels. Since the Raspberry Pi® doesn't have an analogue pin on the expansion connector, by adding an ADC we've enabled the usage of any click board™ from our offer.
The ADC onboard is the MCP3204 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter from Microchip. It also has a switch selector which allows the pin on the mikroBUS™ to be directed to GPIO or to the ADC. Because of the reference voltage which is 4.096V, the ADC works on 5V, and since the Raspberry Pi® GPIO voltage level is 3.3V, a voltage translator is needed. That's why we've included the TXB0106 voltage translator from Texas Instruments.
The Pi 3 Click Board™ Shield has two mikroBUS™ sockets so that you can add hundreds Click boards™ from our ever-expanding range.
The package includes single 2x20 female sockets and a 2x12mm distancer with 2 screws.
Software examples for click boards™ are available on Libstock, giving you a repository of working code - a great starting point for your own projects.
