Atmega32U4 Customize Mini-development Board
The objective of your development board can be directly reflected in its layout. The photo shows a development board that was utilized to regulate the rotational speed of a DC motor. The computer's serial port managed the DC motor's operation. When troubleshooting was required, the LEDs came in handy. To demonstrate how to construct a flexible development board, I will not use the same components depicted in the accompanying image throughout this instruction.
Step 1: Components
The components needed for the project include an ATmega88 microcontroller, various resistors, capacitors, LED, jumpers, and a stripboard. For programming, an ISP programmer like AVRISP mkII is recommended, or an Arduino board can be configured as an ISP programmer.
Step 2: Datasheet
Use the ATmega88 datasheet for essential details to build and program a development board—attention to specific pin functionalities, such as reset, Vcc connections, and programming pins.
Step 3: Circuit Drawing
Use KiCAD to create the circuit diagram. It may seem complex initially, but experimenting with its features will make it effective. Utilize 'A' for component search and 'Double right-click your mouse' for placement. For easy and quick learning about KiCAD watch this video. Your circuit should be like the one below.
Step 4: Reset Pin Pull-up
Adding a manual reset option for the microcontroller is beneficial. You can achieve this by connecting a SIL2 in line with a 100-ohm resistor to the ground. By short-circuiting the SIL2 with a jumper, the microcontroller will reset. The 100-ohm resistor ensures that the capacitor does not get short-circuited. To proceed, refer to the circuit diagram provided in the document.
The pull-up connection is demonstrated in the KiCAD circuit above.
Step 5: Power Supply
The board uses 10 μF capacitors near the voltage input and 0.1 μF capacitors between specific pins as low-pass filters to prevent interference. Users can add a voltage regulator like 78L05 for battery operation.
Step 6: ISP Programmer
ISP programmers are needed to program processors. 6–10-pin connectors are available. My arrangement uses a 6-pin connector. Design the connection using the hardware document. ISP-programmer means In-System Programming. Using this programmer style eliminates the need to install the chip individually before integrating it into the system. After installation, reprogramming is easy.
Step 7: Design
The development board can control coffee machines.
A development board power LED speeds debugging.
Develop a board:
- Print and cut the circuit schematic.
- Make a paper-sized stripboard.
- Align the paper holes over the stripboard and glue it to the side without copper strips using an ordinary glue stick.
- Assemble red crosses.
- Solder components from bottom to top. This simplifies assembly.
- Program the development board with 5V.
Congratulation on completing a development board hardware design!
Step 8: Programming
Use Atmel Studio C to create amazing creations with your unique development board by downloading the app. C samples teach Arduino's language better than boot-loading. Timers, interrupts, and analog reading improve. The ATmega88 datasheet includes example codes for your microcontroller's unique tasks.
