Overview
The SkywireClick Board™ is an adapter, capable of hosting NimbeLink/Skywirecellular modems (using stacking headers) to MikroElektronika development boards. It carries the MCP1826 low dropout regulator from Microchip. The Skywire Click Board™ is designed to run either on 3.3V or 5V power supply. The SkywireClick Board™ communicates with the target MCU over UART interface, and the following MikroBUSpins: PWM, AN, INT, RST, CS.
NOTE: the SkywireModem is not included in this offer.

ADDITIONAL MIKROBUS™ SOCKET
The Skywire™ Click Board™ has the capability to host an additional mini sized click board™. It also has its own power supply to make the needed voltage for the modules.
SKYWIRE CELLULAR MODEMS
Skywire™ cellular modems are the smallest on the market today. This product family from NimbeLink covers everything from 2G and 3G to LTE. They all share the same footprint and pinout, and are flexible for implementation.

CODE SNIPPET
The following code snippet starts the main function in the Skywire application.
This is a simple main function, which excepts a call and replies with an SMS to caller. The content of the SMS is the current temperature measurement in degrees Celsius.
01: void main()
02: {
03: measure_f = false;
04: system_init();
05: skywire_power_on();
06: at_init( rsp_handler, UART3_Write, buffer, sizeof( buffer ) );
07: at_cmd_save( "+CLCC", 1000, NULL, NULL, NULL, callerid_handler ); // Assigning caller ID handler
08: at_cmd_single( "AT" );
09: at_cmd_single( "AT+CSCS="GSM"" );
10: at_cmd_single( "AT+CMGF=1" );
11: while( 1 )
12: {
13: at_process();
14:
15: if( measure_f )
16: {
17: measure_temp();
18: at_cmd_single( "AT+CLCC" );
19: at_cmd_single( "ATH" );
20: Delay_ms( 2000 ); // Delay needed after ATH
21: reply_to_caller();
22: measure_f = false;
23: }
