Introduction
The Atmel RZRAVEN is a development kit for the AT86RF230 radio transceiver and
the AVR microcontroller. It serves as a versatile and professional platform for
developing and debugging a wide range of RF applications; spanning from: simple
point-to-point communication through full blown sensor networks with numerous
nodes running complex communication stacks. On top of this, the kit provides a nice
human interface, which spans from PC connectivity, through LCD and audio input
and output.

Page 3: General
General The Atmel RZRAVEN kit is built from one Atmel RZUSBSTICK module and two AVRRAVEN modules. See Figure 1-1 Figure 1-4 for further details. The complete schematics and Gerber files are available from the compressed archive accompanying this application note. -

The Atmel AVRRAVEN module Figure 2-1. AVRRAVEN overview. The AVRRAVEN hardware is based on two microcontrollers and one radio transceiver chip. The Atmel ATmega3290P handles the sensors and the user interface and the Atmel ATmega1284P handles the Atmel AT86RF230 radio transceiver and the RF protocol stacks. -

Antenna description The antenna on the AVRRAVEN is a 100Ω loop antenna with a net peak gain of about 5dB. The LCD found on the AVRRAVEN module is a full custom 160-segment display tailored for the Atmel RZRAVEN kit (See Figure 2-2 for a quick reference). -
Page 6: Microphone
Microphone The Atmel AVRRAVEN’s microphone is connected to the Atmel ATmega3290P ADC channel 0. The signal is amplified and low-pass filtered. Pulling PORTE7 low activates the microphone circuit. Serial Dataflash A 16Mb Atmel Serial Dataflash (AT45DB161D) is connected to the ATmega3290P’s Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). -
Page 7: Interfaces
An onboard voltage regulator makes it possible to run power the AVRRAVEN from a 5V to 12V DC source. The external voltage is applied to the two leftmost pins in the user I/O area (J401). The Atmel ATmega3290P’s ADC channel 2 is connected to a voltage divider and the external voltage supply interface. -
Page 8: 2.12.1 Programming Interface
Connected to internal 0V Care should be taken when connecting to the Atmel AVRRAVEN’s interfaces, since there is no protection circuitry provided. Damage to the MCUs or other circuits may be the result of ESD spark, short circuits, polarity or over-voltage faults. -
Page 9: 2.12.2 Relay Interface
ISP programming can be performed by connecting an ISP enabled Atmel AVR programming tool to the pin header J302 ® (ATmega3290P) and J205 (ATmega1284P). AVR tools like Atmel STK 500, AVRISP mkII and JTAGICE mkII can be used for this. -

Appendix D for the complete AVR RZUSBSTICK schematics. AVR Microcontroller The Atmel AT90USB1287 is a device in the family of AVRs with a low and full speed USB macro with device, host and On-the-go (OTG) capabilities. Atmel Radio Transceiver The AT86RF230 is a 2.4GHz radio transceiver that is tailored for a wide range of wireless applications. Low power consumption and market leading RF performance makes it an excellent choice for virtually any type of networking device. -
Page 12: External Memory Interface
Serial Interface The USART on the Atmel AT90USB1287 is routed to J4 on the Atmel RZRAVEN’s backside. J4 is implemented as three large pads (RX-TX-GND) where the user can solder in wires and route the signal to his or her preference. The RX-TX signals are TTL level, so an external level converter must be connected if RS232 levels are necessary. -
