2. Soldering the headers Before using your clickTM board, make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. Tilt click 1 TM 2 Turn the board upside down so that the bottom side is facing you upwards. Place shorter pins of the header into the appropriate soldering pads. 3 Turn the board upward again. Make sure to align the headers so that they are perpendicular to the board, then solder the pins carefully. 1. Introduction Tilt clickTM carries RPI-1035, a 4-directional optical tilt sensor. This type of sensor provides positional feedback for left, right, forward or backward movements. Tilt clickTM communicates with the target board microcontroller through mikroBUSTM PWM and INT lines, used here for Vout1 and Vout2 outputs from the sensor. In addition, two onboard LEDs provide visual feedback from the sensor. The board can use either a 3.3V or 5V power supply. 3. Plugging the board in Once you have soldered the headers your board is ready to be placed into the desired mikroBUSTM socket. Make sure to align the cut in the lower-right part of the board with the markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUSTM socket. If all the pins are aligned correctly, push the board all the way into the socket. 4. Essential features All Tilt clickTM does is tell you whether it's leaning left, right, forward or backward at a given moment. The optical type of direction detector it employs is highly reliable. Compared to mechanical solutions, optical direction detectors are less prone to noise caused by vibrations. Compared to magnetic-based direction detectors, they are not influenced by magnetic disturbances. This makes Tilt clickTM a robust and simple to implement solution for all those that need direction detection without the need for highly precise positional measurements. click TM BOARD www.mikroe.com TILT clickTM manual ver 1.00 0100000073872 8.
