Arduino Fio
Overview
The Arduino Fio is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P (datasheet (http://www.atmel.com/Images/Atmel-8271-8-bit-
AVR-Microcontroller-ATmega48A-48PA-88A-88PA-168A-168PA-328-328P_datasheet.pdf)) runs at 3.3V and 8 MHz. It has 14 digital
input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 8 analog inputs, an on-board resonator, a reset button, and holes for
mounting pin headers. It has connections for a Lithium Polymer battery and includes a charge circuit over USB. An XBee socket is
available on the bottom of the board.
The Arduino Fio is intended for wireless applications. The user can upload sketches with an a FTDI cable or Sparkfun breakout board.
Additionally, by using a modified USB-to-XBee adaptor such as XBee Explorer USB, the user can upload sketches wirelessly. The board
comes without pre-mounted headers, allowing the use of various types of connectors or direct soldering of wires.
The Arduino Fio was designed by Shigeru Kobayashi and SparkFun Electronics, and manufactured by SparkFun Electronics.
