PICO1TRC - 2.1" x 1.65"

The PICO1TRC is a physical computing board that is compatible with the Arduino software environment. The board size is 2.1" x 1.65". All I/O pins from the ATmega328 are brought out on 2 rows of 14 pins (300mil spacing). A battery backed-up RTC and small prototype area are included on the board.

• 2.1" x 1.65"
• Replaceable and upgradeable CPU (ATmega168 or ATmega328)
• Compatible with the Arduino development tools.
• Adjustable Linear Regulator (Vcc 3.3V - 5V) Output voltage is set by changing one resistor. Resistors for 3.3V and 5V are included.
• RTC Features
  • Real-Time Clock (RTC) counts Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Day, Date, Month, and Year with Leap-Year Compensation Valid Up to 2100
  • Two Time-of-Day Alarms
  • Programmable Square-Wave Output
  • Backup power from a CR1220 coin cell.
  • I2C Serial Interface
• Two rows of 14 pins (300mil spacing) with all ATmega168/328 I/O functions.
• Six pin header for an FTDI TTL-232R-3V3 cable.
• Debug LED that can be jumpered to Pin 7 or disconnected.
• A/D reference supply filtered per Atmel specification.
• Reset circuit per Atmel specification.
