An adapter board that adds a MatesBUS interface to any development board with a mikroBUS Click socket, allowing direct connection of TIMI display modules (such as the TIMI-96). Communication between the host and the connected device uses 3.3 V asynchronous serial UART.
Key Features
- mikroBUS Click Compatible – Plugs into any standard mikroBUS Click socket
- MatesBUS Interface – Direct connection for TIMI display modules
- 5-Pin Programming Header – Program the connected device directly through the adapter using the Mates Programmer
- Mode Selection Switch – Toggle between device programming mode and host connection mode
- 3.3 V UART Communication – Asynchronous serial interface between host and device
- Reset Connected – MatesBUS reset is connected to the mikroBUS RST pin

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- RST
- Short for reset, a control pin used to restart or initialise a device from a microcontroller. It matters because this sensor requires the RST pin to be connected for some communication setups.
- UART
- UART is a simple serial connection that sends data over separate transmit and receive wires, often labelled TX and RX. It matters because this module is designed to replace a wired UART cable with a wireless link while keeping the same serial data format.
