Robosapiens Atmega-8 Mini (Version B-695) Board For Robotics & Embedded Application
Robosapiens Atmega-8 Mini (Version B-695) Board For Robotics & Embedded Application
1. Introduction
1.1 overview
The Mini Board version B-695 is a complete starter kit and
development system for the AVR Atmega8 flash Microcontrollers from
ATMEL ® Corporation. It is designed to give designers a quick start to
develop code on the AVR.
1.2 Features
Programming through Boot loading through USB or 6-Pin ISP (In
System Programming) cable
Driver Software not required ( Plug & Play device)
USB Port for Boot loading
Three ports available for user interface
PORTB-8 Pin, PORTC-7 Pin, PORTD-8 Pin
Port for USART/UART communication
External Reset Switch
On board crystal oscillator of 12 MHz frequency.
16x2 LCD interfacing port with on board contrast controlling
preset.
Two supply inputs: one through battery and second through
adapter.
On board 5 volt regulated power supply for the board and
external peripherals.
Two H-Bridge implemented in the board using L293D IC to drive
two DC motor with 1A drive current at voltages 4.5 to 36 volt.
Comes with Built in Black Line Follower Robot Program USB Port
for Boot loading
1.3 Precautions
USB Boot loader must be used always. If kit is once programmed
using ISP, USB Boot loader will Boot loading firmware will get
erased and cannot be used for programming.
Pin PC6 is connected with reset, it should not be used.
Pin PC5 should not be used for interfacing as it is used for Boot
loader
Pin PB6, PB7 should not be used for interfacing as it is connected
with crystal oscillator.
Novice users must not use ISP Programmer on this kit.
2. Getting Started
The Mini Board can source power to the microcontroller through the
USB cable. Remember that the power available through the USB cable
is limited. If your application attaches several peripherals to the board,
you should use an external power source connected to the DC input
socket on Mini Board. The external power supply should be 9-12V DC
with positive center connector.
