screwdriver or similar into the top hole to release the tension of the springblade and pull the wire out. This is

PROTO1 Xplained Pro ID System
The PROTO1 Xplained Pro board has the Xplained Pro hardware identification system implemented. When
the board is connected via an Atmel Xplained Pro MCU board to Atmel Studio it will be identified and relevant
information like the user guide will be shown. By default the ID device on the board is connected to the right
angled extension header and the ID X pin of the vertical extension header on the right side of the board is
unconnected. It is however possible to connect the ID X signal to the right angled extension header with the
hardware changes described below. This makes it possible to use the PROTO1 Xplained Pro as an right angle
extender for extension boards and Atmel Studio vill recognize their ID. In order to do so, the PROTO1 Xplained
Pro ID needs to be disconnected and the ID X signal needs to be connected. To disconnect the PROTO1
Xplained Pro ID just cut the cut-strap marked as ID PROTO1 (see
Figure 4-2, “ID PROTO1.” on page 9
the bottom side of the PCB.
Figure 4-2. ID PROTO1.
To connect the ID X signal, just solder a zero ohm resistor or a piece of wire to the open strap marked as ID X
) on the bottom side of the PCB.
