ZB1 Physical Computing Tools

The ZB1 is a physical computing development system that is compatible with the Arduino software environment. For system development a variety of peripheral modules are available. The datasheet is located here

ZB1 Microcontroller Board

Features

• Replaceable and upgradeable CPU
• Compatible with the Arduino development tools.
• ATmega328 running at 12MHz with a Vcc of 3.3V.
• Socket for XBee Radio.
• 4.4" x 1.75" (uC + XBee). 2.7" x 1.75" if the board is cut to remove the XBee radio. Both sections of a cut board are functional.
• I/O connections are wired to a single 26 pin header. Application boards can be mounted parallel using vertical connectors, co-planar using right-angle connectors or remotely using a flexible cable.
• The board can be built with either a USB interface or with a six pin header for use with an USB to serial cable. The USB interface circuitry includes transient suppression and current limiting resistors.
• ICSP port (3.3V levels)
• A/D reference supply filtered per Atmel specification.
• Reset circuit per Atmel specification.
• Power supply is jumpered between either an LDO or an external 3.3V supply. The LDO input is diode or'ed from a wall adapter or the USB 5V supply.
• Coming Soon 2AA power supply.

ZB1 Prototyping Board

Features

• Removable terminal block with a pin header (3.5mm centers).
• 1.6" x 4" breadboard area with TH and SMD patterns. Pattern features a DIP, SOIC and SOT23-6 pattern overlay.
• Two bounceless pushbuttons.
• Debug LEDs.
