- Page 3 Description The ATMEL Wireless BlackBird is a 2" x 3.5" PC-board transceiver using the ATA542x UHF transceiver IC and the ATmega3290 AVR micro-controller, as shown in Figure 1-1. It is offered in five frequencies: 315, 345, 434, 868, and 915 MHz. The BlackBird is UART-, ISP-, and JTAG- ready.
- Page 4 The ATAB542x kit contains two ATAB542x transceivers (with batteries), as determined by the ATMEL part number ordered, a Quick Start Card, and a CD. The kit is complete, the software is preloaded, and it is ready for immediate use. Figure 1-2 shows the kit contents.
