C Meter click is a mikroBUS add-on board with circuitry for measuring the value of capacitors. The design is based on a NE-555 timer/square-wave generator. The chip is implemented in an astable multivibrator circuit with fixed resistors and adjustable capacitors. 


The board has four different-sized plates for placing SMD capacitors (covering standard SMD packaging dimensions) as well as a socket for inserting a thru hole capacitor. 


The board outputs a square wave frequency through the INT pin. Depending on the capacitor placed on the board, the value of this frequency changes. The value of a capacitor can be inferred using a simple algorithm (shown in the Libstock code example). 


Onboard screw terminals are placed to allow the click to be used with multimeter probes. 
C Meter click is designed to use a 5V power supply, but can work with either 3.3V or 5V logic levels.

IR Grid 2 click

0

IR Grid 2 click is a thermal imaging sensor. It has an array of 768 very sensitive factory calibrated IR elements (pixels), arranged in 32 rows of 24 pixels. Each one of them is measuring an object temperature up to 300˚C within its local Field of View (FOV). The MLX90640ESF-BAB IR sensor used on this Click board™ has just four pins, and it is mounted inside of the industry standard TO39 package. It is equipped with 2Kbit of EEPROM for storing the compensation and calibration parameters.
