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.

Buck 20 Click is a compact add-on board that contains a DC-DC power converter that steps down the voltage from its input to its output. This board features the MP2316, a fully-integrated, high-efficiency, synchronous, step-down switch-mode converter from Monolithic Power Systems (MPS). The MP2316 achieves 3A continuous output current over a wide input supply range from 4V to 19V. It has excellent load and line regulation and can operate efficiently over a vast output voltage load range. The MP2316 also offers advanced protection features such as undervoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit detections.
