Info:
PC5 is connected to a button that states 'SW1/RST' because PC5 had reset capabilities in an early
version of the ATtiny3217. Today the ATtiny3217 does not have any reset capabilities on PC5.

Crystal
The ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro kit contains a 32.768 kHz crystal, which can be used as the clock source for the
ATtiny3217 device. The crystal has a cut-strap next to it, which can be used to measure the oscillator safety factor.
This is done by cutting the strap and adding a resistor across the strap. More information about oscillator allowance
and safety factor can be found in the
application note from Microchip.
There is a 9 pF, 32.768 kHz crystal in a 3.2 mm by 1.5 mm package mounted on ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro.
Info:
The crystal is not connected to the device by default, as the crystal pins on the device are shared
with the UART module. The UART interface is lost if the crystal is needed by the application. See
for instructions on how to modify the kit for crystal operation.

QTouch
®
Button
There are two self-capacitance buttons available on the ATtiny3217 Xplained Pro board, which can be used as input
buttons for an application. These QTouch buttons are intended to be driven by the built-in Peripheral Touch Controller
(PTC) of the device.
To get started using the QTouch buttons and the PTC, there is a similar example project that can be opened here:

). The two kits are
identical except for the device.
