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.
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.
2 grouped connections are listed in the table but omitted from the graphic until individual pins are available.
External DC input for powering the METRO; Adafruit states 7-9V polarity-protected DC or 5V from micro USB.
5V board rail; product page states 5V logic and a 5V regulator with peak current limits.
3.3V regulator output; product page states a 3.3V regulator with peak current limits and optional 3.3V logic conversion by jumper.
Board ground rail for shields, headers, USB, and external circuits.
ATmega328P digital GPIO header group; Adafruit states the METRO has 20 GPIO pins and is Arduino UNO R3 shield/pin compatible.
PWM-capable digital outputs; Adafruit states 6 PWM outputs are available on 3 timers.
Six analogue input pins; Adafruit states 6 of the 20 GPIO are analogue inputs.
Hardware UART connected through the onboard USB-to-serial converter for programming and serial communication; Adafruit notes two GPIO are reserved for the USB-serial converter and RX/TX LEDs.
Hardware SPI interface exposed for shields/programming; product specifications list hardware SPI and a 6-pin ICSP header.
Hardware I2C interface for Arduino-compatible shields and peripherals; product page lists hardware I2C.
Reset line for Arduino-compatible shields and programming/reset control.
Onboard red LED connected to PB5 according to the Adafruit product page.
