2. Soldering the headers
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into the desired
mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the cut
in the lower-right part of the board with the
markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS™
socket. If all the pins are aligned
correctly, push the board
all the way into the socket.
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
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.
Before using your click™ 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.
4. Essential features
nRF S click™ with its nRF24L01P IC is
designed for operation in the world wide ISM
frequency band at 2.400 - 2.4835 GHz. The
board supports an air data rate of 250 Kbps,
1 Mbps and 2 Mbps and it is suitable for ultra
low power designs. All these features make
this board ideal for wireless PC peripherals,
remotes, VoIP headsets, game controllers,
sensors, home and commercial automation,
active RFID, toys and many more.

nRF S click™ is a compact and easy solution for
adding a 2.4 GHz transceiver to your design.
It features nRF24L01P 2.4 GHz transceiver
module with an embedded baseband
protocol engine as well as an SMA antenna
connector (antenna sold separately). nRF S
click™ communicates with the target board
microcontroller via mikroBUS™ SPI (SDI, SDO,
SCK, CS#), CE and INT lines. The board is
designed to use 3.3V power supply only.
