When an Xplained Pro extension is connected to an Xplained Pro MCU board the information is read and sent to Atmel Studio. The Atmel Kits extension, installed with Atmel Studio, will give relevant information, code examples, and links to relevant documents. The table below shows the data fields stored in the ID chip with example content.
A FPC/FFC connector with 50 pins and 0.5mm pitch is used for the LCD connector. The connector XF2M-5015-1A from Omron is used on several Xplained Pro designs and can be used as a reference. Atmel maXTouch Xplained Pro [USER GUIDE] Atmel-42350B-maXTouch-Xplained-Pro_User Guide-01/2016...
