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.

  • Page 1 Power The Arduino Fio can be powered with an FTDI cable or breakout board connected to its six pin headers (as marked on the bottom side), or with a regulated 3.3V supply on the 3V3 pin or a Lithium Polymer battery on the BAT pins.
  • Page 2 ATmega328P provides UART TTL serial communication, which is available on digital pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). The Arduino software includes a serial monitor which allows simple textual data to be sent to and from the Arduino Fio board via an external serial connection.
  • Page 3 The dimensions of the Fio PCB are approximately 1.1" x 2.6". Related Pages The Arduino Fio can be programmed wirelessly over its XBee radio. See the Arduino Fio Programming (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardFioProgramming) page for the details. Because the Fio communicates over XBee radios, the following Sketch-writing tips (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardFioTips) will help you avoid unexpected errors.
