Atmel PROTO1 Xplained Pro

Preface

The Atmel

®

 PROTO1 Xplained Pro extension board is a development board

that can be used to prototype small circuits and easy connect it to Xplained Pro

MCU boards through one of the standard extension headers. It includes an ID

chip and will be recognized by Atmel Studio. It can also be used to interface

older Xplained top-modules like sensor boards. There is a separate connector

available to connect external power to a Xplained Pro series evaluation kits. This

section can be separated from the prototype section to be used standalone or

not at all.
