MikroE Clicks; are there additional Click boards for which you'd like Spin2 support?

Hello,

You're eating these Click boards like holiday crackers, cheese and salami.

These are the ones we stock: https://www.parallax.com/product-category/propeller-2/click-boards/

This is the whole selection from MikroE: https://www.mikroe.com/click

I'm happy to stock more of them. Are there additional Click boards you'd like to consume? You know the drill: if we stock them, we'll produce code for them.

Thanks,

Ken Gracey

    There is an amazing amount of different Click boards...

    I was looking for a 9DOF IMU, but there's so many options!
    Think I saw a 13DOF sensor, not even sure what that is...

    I went looking for a single chip 9DOF Click, but didn't see one...

    Can you make your own? I'd maybe make a lsm9ds1 based Click board.

    Or, there's also a Bosch 9DOF chip that appears much easier to use as it does the IMU calculations for you...

    You can make your own. We can't though, as the volume is just too low for our NRE and setup.

    Parallax has a module in stock with that LSM9DS1 9DOF :

    https://www.parallax.com/product/lsm9ds1-9-axis-imu-module/


    You can find code objects and design files at the downloads tab (under the product on that same link).
    C code libraries and BlocklyProp blocks example included. Hopefully P2+Flexprop will allow those P1 C code libraries to be used for P2.
  • Since I ordered the Propeller 2 Mini Starter Bundle, and I am waiting for delivery, I think what would be a necessary board is the microSD click. I think that should be a good fit, now that the P2 has 512KB, to handle the driver code.

    I'd be interested in a TCP/IP one...

    This one looks good:

    Hey buddy,
    Question.
    Where is the example code for the click boards? I have the stepper drivers and cannot find example code for P2. Tried the companies website for support and it is a dead end.
    https://www.mikroe.com/support. The buttons do not work.
    Searched the forums and the Parallax github, nothing.
    Thank you in advance.

    I tried the elink page download and got a .step file that on opens in my Banbu Studio 3d printer software.
    The Moraco Github took a while to fine the elink.
    The downloads and resources for the stepper click goes nowhere. Forums nothing yet. I will open an new topic to see if I get lucky.
    Also at out last zoom meeting I had fun thanks.

  • @pilot0315 I think it depends on which board you are asking about. If the stepper board is the one of interest I'm sure we can find the code for you. Code could be between P2 Quick Bytes, forums, GitHub, or OBEX.

    Thanks I will continue to look. Unfortunately the example code from the company are:
    .mpkg files which according to the internet only open in Mac with a special opener.
    Their stuff that I do find is in C and has weird commands.
    Thanks I will look.

    That Click module uses the A4988 which is also used on the #28827. It's very common and there is lots of code for it. A search in object using "stepper" yields several objects -- use those that output step and direction signals.

    We used the #28827 board in one of the online training meetings way back in the dark days of the pandemic lockdowns. I recompiled with current libraries and attached. Note that this is NOT for the Click module, even though it is compatible, so the pin assignments will have to be sorted out for the Click.

    Nothing in forums, quick bytes, github the only fuond in obex or github is moraco for the elink display.
    I am posting the question in the forums.
    Thanks again.
