The Atmel
SAM4L Xplained Pro evaluation kit is a hardware platform to
evaluate the ATSAM4LC4C microcontroller.
Supported by the Atmel Studio integrated development platform, the kit
provides easy access to the features of the Atmel ATSAM4LC4C and
explains how to integrate the device in a customer design.
The Xplained Pro MCU series evaluation kits include an on-board
Embedded Debugger, and no external tools are necessary to program or
debug the ATSAM4LC4C.
The Xplained Pro extension series evaluation kits offers additional
peripherals to extend the features of the board and ease the development of
customer designs.

QTouch Button The SAM4L Xplained Pro kit has one QTouch button and the connection to the SAM4L is shown in the table below. The QTouch sensor, a copper fill, is located on the second layer (GND) of the board. The sensor is shielded by the third and the bottome layer (VCC and signal layer respectively) and therefore the sensor is not affected by any touches from the back side of the board. -
