 A maker’s sidekick

Meet Flip & click, Arduino’s close cousin. This board shares a lot of Arduino DNA — Atmel’s
32-bit AT91SAM3X8E MCU, the familiar pinout, firmware to program it like a regular Arduino
— but it has a tendency to flip. When it does, you’ll get to see its other side — four mikroBUS™
sockets for connecting click boards™. With more than 160 bite-sized clicks to pick from (and
more coming out every week), anything goes. All sorts of sensors, transceivers, encoders,
displays, connection ports are at your disposal. Separate communication lines allow for
thousands of click board combinations, with no need for unsightly stacking or wire jumping.
Flip & click is a perfect sidekick for your adventures in Maker land.

2. Programing Flip & click
To program the Flip & click, download the latest version of the open-source Arduino IDE. The
software is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Once you connect the board to a PC (using the microUSB port next to the power connector)
your system will recognize it as an Arduino Due. Just compile your sketch and you’re good to go.

3. Code examples

We made several examples to show off the

potentials of Flip & click and click board™
combinations. All the code is available on
MikroElektronika’s GitHub channel. Keep visiting the
link, as more code will be added in the future:
www.github.com/mikroe/Flip_n_Click_Examples

4. Blue side
On the blue side, Flip & click
features a standard Arduino Uno
pinout (with additional SPI pins)
which makes it compatible with
a range of Arduino shields. All the
pins operate on 3.3V logic, just
like with Arduino Due.
POWER DIGITAL
PINS (~PWM)
The four LEDs are the same as PINS
on Arduino Due. From left to ANALOG
PINS
right: indicating power supply
SPI
(PWR), signaling programming PINS
is in progress (TX, RX), and one
connected to MCU pin 13 (L).

5. USB ports
The board has two micro-USB
ports. One is for programming,
the other lets you connect your
Flip & click to other hardware.
Depending on what you are
making, you can set the board to
be a USB device or a host. host/
device

6. White side
On the white side, Flip & click has
four mikroBUS™ sockets along
with four LEDs and a reset button.
The silkscreen markings clearly
denote which microcontroller
pins are used on each socket. The
pinout provides both 3.3V and 5V
power supplies.

7. click boards™
Buzzer, Relays, WiFi, RFid, GSM,
GPS, OLED, Speech recognition
— you name it, we got it! There
are more than 160 click boards™
available. Many of the chips on
clicks already have their own
Arduino libraries you can reuse.
More and more will be coming
out in the future. See them all,
