Arduino development board

2 September 2015 Design Automation

RS Components has announced availability of the Arduino M0 Pro, a simple and powerful extension of the 32-bit platform established by the Arduino Uno board.

Aimed at embedded engineers, hackers and students, the board is designed to help the development of innovative ideas for smart Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, wearable technologies, high-tech automation, robotics and other imaginative projects. As well as enabling new project opportunities, it is highly suitable as an educational tool for learning about 32-bit application development.

Fuelled by the low-power Atmel SAM D21 microcontroller, which integrates the 32-bit ARM Cortex M0+ core, the Arduino M0 Pro board expands the Arduino family with increased performance and a highly flexible feature set. A key feature of the board is the Atmel Embedded Debugger (EDBG), which provides a full debug interface without the need for additional hardware and significantly increases ease-of-use for software debugging. The EDBG also supports a virtual COM port that can be used for device programming and traditional Arduino boot loader functionality.

Compatible with 3,3 V shields that conform to the Arduino R3 layout, development using the Arduino programming language is fully supported through a custom developed software library, integrated in the Arduino development environment.

Key hardware specifications of the M0 Pro board include the ATSAMD21G18 microcontroller running at 48 MHz and packaged in a 48-pin LQFP, 3,3 V operation, 256 KB of Flash memory, 32 KB of SRAM and EEPROM up to 16 KB via emulation. Input/output options include 14 digital I/O pins with 12 PWM channels and UART, six 12-bit ADC input channels and a 10-bit DAC output.
