BEIJING /PRNewswire/ -- RS Components (RS), the
trading brand ofElectrocomponents
plc (LSE:ECM), the global distributor for engineers, has
announced availability of the Arduino M0 Pro[1],
a simple and powerful extension of the 32-bit Arduino platform
established by the Arduino Uno board.
Aimed at embedded
engineers, hackers and students, the new Arduino M0 Pro 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, the board 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
3.3V 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: ATSAMD21G18 MCU running
at 48MHz and packaged in a 48-pin LQFP, 3.3V operation, 256KB of
Flash memory, 32KB of SRAM and EEPROM of up to 16KB 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.
The Arduino M0
Pro development board is shipping now from RS Components.
