Iteaduino Leonardo
Overview
The Iteaduino Leonardo is a microcontroller board based on
the ATmega32u4. It has 20 digital input/output pins (of which 7 can
be used as PWM outputs and 12 as analog inputs), a 16 MHz crystal
oscillator, a micro USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and
a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the
microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or
power it with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
The Iteaduino Leonardo differs from all preceding boards in that
the ATmega32u4 has built-in USB communication, eliminating the
need for a secondary processor. This allows the Leonardo to appear to
a connected computer as a mouse and keyboard, in addition to a
virtual (CDC) serial / COM port. It also has other implications for the
behavior of the board.
