Using UPS Click or UPS 3 Click with Arduino

[Ceal]

Dear all,

To what extent is it possible to use the UPS Click or UPS 3 Click board with Arduino? Are there any libraries for this? Or examples? More precisely, I would like to use one of these two Click boards with this ESP32 board https://www.sparkfun.com/products/18619 that (as well as additional boards connected to this processor board).
I would be very thankful for some clarification.

And what is the maximum output current of the UPS Click? Can it deliver a peak current of more than 150 mA for a short amount of time?

My best,
Ceal

Hi,

You can find an example code in Necto Studio (https://www.mikroe.com/necto), it is free as long as you are not using it for commercial purposes and you can go deep into the source code.

Make a Setup for an AVR MCU and then open the example for this click in the packages section.

I do not know how well it would work on other Arduino devices though, but you can use our example as a reference.

As for the maximum output current it seems to be 175mA according to the datasheet, but i couldn't find anything about the time needed to reach it.
