About Pro Micro Atmega32U4 Development Board 5V 16M Mini Development Board Pro Micro 5V 16M Mini Leonardo Microcontroller Development Board For Arduino
The Pro Micro Atmega32U4 Development Board is similar to the Pro Mini except with an ATmega32U4 on board. The USB transceiver inside the 32U4 allows us to add USB connectivity on board and do away with a bulky external USB interface. This tiny 5V 16M mini Development Board tiny little board does all of the neat ARDUINO tricks that you're familiar with 4 channels of 10-bit ADC, 5 PWM pins, 12 Dios as well as hardware serial connections Rx and Tx. Running at 16MHz and 5V, this board will remind you a lot of your other favourite ARDUINO-compatible boards but this little guy can go just about anywhere. If you're supplying unregulated power to the board, be sure to connect to the "RAW" pin, not VCC. This Pro Micro Atmega32U4 Development Board's latest revision corrects the silk error from the last version of the board so that pin 14 is correctly labelled. We've also added a PTC fuse and diode protection to the power circuit and corrected the RX and TX LED circuits.Compact Design Meets Robust FunctionalityDespite its small size (33mm x 18mm), the Pro Micro Atmega32U4 delivers powerful performance suitable for wearables, sensing projects, and rapid prototyping. With integrated USB Micro, 16MHz clock speed, and multiple communication interfaces, it fits specialized and general Arduino applications alike.
Wide Compatibility and Ease of UseFully compatible with the Arduino IDE and supporting the Leonardo board architecture, this development board simplifies programming and device interaction. Plug-and-play via Micro USB enables easy firmware uploads and real-time debugging for beginners and professionals.
Quality Assured ConstructionFeaturing FR-4 epoxy glass, HASL finishing, and stringent E-testing, the board assures high reliability, flame resistance (94V-0), and excellent insulation. The blue solder mask adds durability and easy identification during hardware assembly.
FAQ's of Pro Micro Atmega32U4 Development Board 5V 16M Mini Development Board Pro Micro 5V 16M Mini Leonardo Microcontroller Development Board For Arduino:
