MIKROE-1834 Tilt Click Compact Add-On Board
User Manual
Introduction
Tilt click ™ carries RPI-1035, a 4-directional optical tilt sensor. This type
of sensor provides positional feedback for left, right, forward or backward
movements. Tilt click™
communicates with the target board microcontroller through mikroBUS ™ 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.
Soldering the headers
Before using your click™ board, make sure to solder 1×8 male headers to both
left and right side of the board. Two 1×8 male headers are included with the
board in the package.
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. Turn the board
upward again. Make sure to align the headers so that they are perpendicular to
the board, then solder the pins carefully.
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.
Essential features
All Tilt click™ 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 click™ a robust and simple to implement solution for all those that need direction detection without the need for highly precise positional measurements.

SMD jumper
There is one zeroohm SMD jumper J1 used to select whether 3.3V or 5V I/O voltage level is used. Jumper J1 is soldered in 3.3V position by default.
Code xamples
Once you have done all the necessary preparations, it’s time to get your
click™ board up and running. We have provided examples for mikroC™ ,
mikroBasic™ and mikroPascal ™ compilers on our Libstock website. Just download
them and you are ready to start.
