Mouser – Arduino Leonardo AVR development board based on Atmel ATmega32u4 (A000057)
Jul 10 2012 - Design & Manufacture [More Design & Manufacture Articles]Now available from Mouser, the Arduino Leonardo AVR Development Board is based on the Atmel ATmega32u4 microcontroller. It offers 20 digital IOs (of which 7 can be used as PWM outputs and 12 as analog inputs), a 16MHz crystal oscillator, a micro USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.
The 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 an HID, such as a mouse or keyboard, in addition to a virtual (CDC) serial / COM port. The Leonardo board 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, says the company.
