What's on the mikroMedia™ 7 for STM32 Shield ?
The mikroMedia™ 7 for STM32 Shield features a UART select jumper, 5 mikroBUS sockets, connection pads, FTDI USB-UART converter and an external power supply screw terminal.
The Click Board™ range
As you already know, our Click Board™ range is constantly growing - hundreds of different functionalities are available in our store. From sensors and wireless transceivers to motor control and LED displays.
UART interfaces
There are 2 UART interfaces available on the shield, routed from the mikroMedia™ 7 for STM32. One of the mikroBUS slots - mikroBUS 5 - can have either one of the two UART lines routed to the mikroMedia™ 7 for STM32, selectable by the mikroBUS 5 UART jumper selector. Other 4 mikroBUS slots are hardwired to one UART only.
The shield also has the FT232 USB to UART circuit on board. Its RX and TX lines can also be routed to any of the two UART interface lines of the mikroMedia™ 7 for STM32, by using the UART SELECT jumper selectors. The integrated USB to UART interface is very handy for connecting the shield to the computer and reading UART data on any UART terminal - it is recommended to use the UART terminals, found in every MikroElektronika compiler since those terminals are easy to use and are optimized for working in embedded development environment.
Note: If the WiFi SMD jumper is set to enable the WiFi on the mikroMedia™ for STM32, one of the UART lines wont be available on the shield.
