The powerful new ATmega Control Board includes a preinstalled ATmega32 microcontroller running at 16 MHz. The board is ideal for embedded control applications and robotic controllers. Easy to connect and interface with existing equipment, all of the ports are connected to headers, and ADC connections are available using standard PCB terminals. The microcontroller can be programmed in-circuit using a separate download unit. The download unit includes the necessary software.

Note that 32 KB of flash program memory and 2 KB of RAM are available on the chip. An eight-channel, 10-bit A/D converter and four PWM channels are also available. A programmable serial USART and SPI included within the microcontoller.

Board also includes sockets for a real-time clock (DS1307) with a battery back-up socket, RS-232 communication (MAX232 included), EEPROM (24LCxx series), and an LCD connection including contrast trim potentiometer. An on-board buzzer and reset switch are also included. The power supply is 5 VDC via easy-to-connect PCB terminals.

Please note that the board requires a program download tool for programming; it is available separately. The ATmega Control Board costs $32.95.
