TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS I want to express my thanks to you for being interested in our products and for having confidence in MikroElektronika. The primary aim of our company is to design and produce high quality electronic products and to constantly improve the performance thereof in order to better suit your needs.
Introduction Ready for XMEGA Board is the best solution for fast and simple development of various microcontroller applications. It comes with ATxmega128A1, and contains double-row smart headers for all available microcontroller ports. We have groupped pins according to their functions, so you have everything on the silkscreen.
Key Features System Specification JTAG connector power supply Power LED indicator Via AC/DC connector 7-23V AC UART communication LEDs (RX, TX) or 9-32V DC Power regulator FTDI chip power consumption USB UART connector 50mA in idle state Power connector (when on-board modules are off) Power screw terminals Reset button board dimensions...
Ready for XMEGA board can be powered in two ways: via USB connection, or using external power sources such as adapters and laboratory power supplies. USB connection can provide up to 500mA of current which is more than enough for every on-board module and for operation of the microcontroller.
2. ATxmega128A1 microcontroller Ready XMEGA development system comes with ATxmega128A1 microcontroller. Having lots of MIPS power, flash and RAM, and rich set of inegrated modules, ATxmega128A1 is ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. Key microcontroller features 32 MIPS - Up to Operation;...
3. Programming the microcontroller Figure 3-1: ATxmega128A1 The microcontroller can be programmed in three ways: Via USB-UART mikroBootloader Using JTAG external programmer Using PDI external programmer Page 11...
Programming with mikroBootloader mikroBootloader software You can program the microcontroller with bootloader which is preprogrammed into the device by default. To transfer .hex file note from a PC to MCU you need bootloader software (mikroBootloader Before starting mikroBootloader software, connect Ready for HID) which can be downloaded from: XMEGA with a PC using USB cable provided with the package http://www.mikroe.com/eng/downloads/get/1271/...

8. Piezo buzzer On-board piezo buzzer is a very useful module which can be used in debuging your code, or to have audio signalization feature when board is integrated as a final product. Piezo buzzer’s resonant frequency is 3.8kHz. In addition, other frequencies in the range between 20Hz and 20.000Hz can be used, but the best performance is provided by frequencies ranging between 2kHz and 4kHz.
Ready for XMEGA can easily be integrated into the specialized white plastic casing. This feature is very convenient for turning the board into a final product. The white plastic casing contains inner and outter screw holes. Inner are used for attaching the board to the casing and outter are used for connecting the top part of the casing, and enclosing the board.
