Two-Wire ETH Click is a compact add-on board with the purpose of a generic interface to many third-party processors in 10BASE-T1S applications. This board features the LAN8651B1-E/LM, a low-power single-port 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHY Ethernet Controller with SPI from Microchip. The LAN8651B1-E/LM combines a Media Access Controller (MAC) and an Ethernet PHY to enable low-cost MCUs access to 10BASE-T1S networks (allows for creating both multidrop and point-to-point network topologies). The simultaneous transfer of both Ethernet transmit and receive packets between the station controller and the LAN8651B1-E/LM is performed over a high-speed Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), according to the OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MAC-PHY Serial Interface specification. This Click board™ is suitable for functional safety-related applications such as industrial control, process/factory automation, sensor/actuator networks operating at high bandwidth, building automation, and more.

Tilt Click is a compact add-on board that provides positional feedback for left, right, backward or forward movement (tilt). This board features the RPI-1035, a four-directional optical tilt sensor from ROHM Semiconductor. Compared to mechanical and magnetic-based solutions, this optical direction detector is less prone to noise caused by vibrations and is non-influenced by magnetic disturbances. Communicating with the host MCU through the two mikroBUS™ lines, the Tilt Click also comes with two onboard LEDs providing visual feedback from the sensor. This Click board™ is suitable in cases where it is only necessary to detect the direction of movement.

Tilt Click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
