Mikroe Feather Click Shield provides for making prototypes by combining Adafruit Feather compatible base-boards with hundreds of Click boards. The Feather is the company's standardised open-source development platform for IoT projects. The Adafruit Feather and FeatherWing system comprise of a baseboard (Feather) and expansion boards (Wings). They are connected over standardized 28-pins connector (two rows of 16-pin and 12-pin connectors) and support all interface required for communication with any Click board.

The company's Feather Click Shield features two mikroBUS sockets for expansion of Feather boards by providing compatibility with more than 750 Click boards. This number of Click boards are a versatile range of peripheral devices that can be used off the shelf and employed for prototyping in no time.

On-board modules comprise Feather connector for connecting compatible Feather boards, power part for converting 5V USB to the 3.3V. The interface covers GPIO, UART, Analog, SPI, I2C and PWM. The device is compatible with mikroBUS.

The board is a solution for IoT applications with Feather boards which require additional peripheral devices.
