Development ecosystem enables inspiring designs

As part of the FT90X ecosystem, MikroElektronika provides the 266x220mm format EasyFT90X development board, which has an FT900 MCU, on-board CMOS camera, 3.5" 320x240 pixel resolution TFT display with touch screen, a microSD card slot and a vast array of I/O options, allowing it to interface with a variety of different external sensors and other items of hardware. Also included on this board are a mikroProg Fast USB 2.0 programmer and an in-circuit debugger, plus a range of simple MikroElektronika compiler examples. The board has a power consumption of less than 80mA if peripheral modules are not connected.

Also included is the credit card-sized Clicker 2 board, which can connect to an ever-expanding variety of different add-on modules called click boards (with over 100 to choose from currently) via its two mikroBUS sockets. As well as an FT90X MCU (preprogrammed with a USB-HID bootloader), a USB Mini-B connector, two LED indicators, two configurable pushbuttons, plus 32kHz and 12MHz oscillators are featured.

Covering all three main programming languages, the mikroC, mikroBasic and mikroPascal compilers fully support the FT90X and are suitable for use with both the EasyFT90X and Clicker 2 boards, as well as for standalone FT90X system designs. These are the first dedicated FT90X compilers on the market. They support more than 500 functions and have more than 150 examples out of the box, making them easy to use.

Finally, mikroProg for FT90X is a fast programmer and hardware debugger for FT90X devices, and it is especially well suited for use together with the compilers.
