Hexiwear Workstation
Hexiwear Workstation
Overview
In the light of Hexiwear's global success, MikroE decided to make a full-featured development board that expands the functionality of your favourite IoT tool. The Hexiwear Workstation is the next step in rapid IoT prototyping.
While Hexiwear combines style and usability found in high-end consumer devices, with the functionality of sophisticated engineering development platforms, the Hexiwear Workstation offers you the choice of expandability. Equipped with 4 mikroBUS sockets, an on-board programmer and debugger, a microSD card slot, digital temperature sensor, buttons, LEDs and more. Start your IoT adventure today.
The Ultimate Hexiwear Development Experience.
Amazing Connectivity - Three connectors for each port
Hexiwear Workstation allows you to connect Hexiwear to the outside world. Buttons, LEDs and three headers for each group of pins, are the connectivity arsenal you need.
MikroProg On Board - Everything is already here
Powerful onboard mikroProg OpenSDA programmer and In-Circuit debugger can program and debug a docked Hexiwear. You will not be able to imagine development without it.
Audio module - Two audio amplifiers
The Hexiwear Workstation comes equipped with two audio amplifiers. They are used to amplify the line level sound from the VS1053, a stereo MP3 audio CODEC IC.
Supports Click Board™s - mikroBUS sockets on board
Four innovative new mikroBUS sockets allow you to use dozens of Click Board™s with almost no hardware adjustments. Adding new functionality to your device was never so easy.

Modules
USB Connector
USB connector allows connection with the integrated OpenSDA compatible programmer.
MicroSD Card Slot
Hexiwear Workstation comes equipped with a MicroSD card reader so that you can store all your data
Analog Input
The Hexiwear Workstation board provides an analog interface in the form of one potentiometer, which acts as a voltage divider.
Audio Module
The board comes with two audio amplifiers, capable of delivering up to 675mW of continuous RMS power into two built-in 8-ohm speakers.
Port Headers
The connectivity arsenal you need - two male IDC10 headers and a row of 10 PCB pads.
Temperature Sensor
DS1820 is a digital temperature sensor that uses 1-wire® interface for its operation. It is capable of measuring temperatures within the range of -55 to 128°C.
MikroProg
Powerful onboard OpenSDA compatible mikroProg programmer and In-Circuit Debuger (ICD) can program and debug docked Hexiwear.
Reset Buttons
Two reset buttons can be used to manually reset the respective MCUs of the docked Hexiwear - both the main MCU (K64F) and the multimode radio SoC (K40Z)
Breadboard
The board also contains a breadboard area with the additional 1x52 female header, which can be used for a custom circuit development
Piezo Buzzer
Hexiwear Workstation comes with a piezo buzzer which can be connected to G2.5 or G4.0 pins and used as the sound signalization or notification in your applications
Hexiwear Docking Connector
Hexiwear Workstation board is equipped with a small male mezzanine connector, which is used to interface the Hexiwear platform with the board.
Input/Output Group
These groups contain buttons, LEDs and headers, routed to the pins of the docking connector. They allow interaction with the docked Hexiwear, either by pressing buttons, displaying states of its pins on the LEDs, or using headers to interface it to an external device.
