#### It's an open standard

mikroBUS™ - the add-on board socket standard that offers maximum expandability with the smallest number of pins. Integrate it into your design and open the doors of thousands of possibilities by using compatible Click boards™.

Adding a mikroBUS™ socket to your design allows you to utilize the ever-expanding range of Click boards™. Sensors, wireless transceivers, audio amplifiers, LED displays and more. It is the simplest way to add maximum connectivity. All the major vendors have accepted the mikroBUS™ standard and added it to their development boards, so join the revolution.

If you are interested adding the mikroBUS on your board and would like Mikroe to do review as well as promotion of that board.
