Adafruit METRO 328 - Arduino Compatible - with Headers

ATmega328-based Arduino-compatible board, fully assembled with through-hole headers attached. Same as the Metro 328 without headers variant but with headers pre-soldered.

VIN / DC jack input
External DC input for powering the METRO; Adafruit states 7-9V polarity-protected DC or 5V from micro USB.
Type · powerVoltage · 7-9V DC on external input, or 5V from micro USB per Adafruit product page
5V
5V board rail; product page states 5V logic and a 5V regulator with peak current limits.
Type · powerVoltage · 5V
3.3V
3.3V regulator output; product page states a 3.3V regulator with peak current limits and optional 3.3V logic conversion by jumper.
Type · powerVoltage · 3.3V
GND
Board ground rail for shields, headers, USB, and external circuits.
Type · groundVoltage · 0V
Digital I/O D0-D13
ATmega328P digital GPIO header group; Adafruit states the METRO has 20 GPIO pins and is Arduino UNO R3 shield/pin compatible.
