40 CHAPTER 6 • CLICK 500
Development
The Click 500 is a powerful platform that can integrate and process serial and digital I/O
data to support Click and SmartSensor applications; it can easily be customized for a wide
variety of applications including data collection, data processing, serial conversion, com-
munications testing and health monitoring.
Such applications can be developed by a third-party developer; the Click 500 Development
Bundle exists to aid such development. For more information on the development bundle,
see the appropriate datasheet on the Wavetronix website (www.wavetronix.com); for more
information on developing custom applications on the Click 500 platform, see the Click 500
Developer Guide.
In addition, Wavetronix has developed several real-world applications on the Click 500
platform; these clearly demonstrate the flexibility and versatility of this low-cost controller
when used in conjunction with other Wavetronix Click or SmartSensor products. These
applications make up the rest of the Click 500 series and will be discussed in the coming
chapters of this guide.
Case Color
The Click 500 differs from other Click modules in that it has a blue case; most modules’
cases are green, gray, or black. The blue case on the Click 500 indicates that it is not a Wa-
vetronix-supported device. This is because custom 500 applications are developed by third
parties, so Wavetronix cannot support them. If you are using a Click 500 application in a
blue case and it fails, please contact the developer of the application for support.
