Development System mikroElektronika BIGAVR6

Detailed Description

The BIGAVR6 development system supports a wide range of AVR MCUs. Newly released AVR microcontrollers will be supported by a new version of AVRFlash software that is updated regularly.

High-Performance On-Board USB 2.0 Programmer

On-board USB 2.0 programmer AVRprog2 doesn't use bootloader or any similar software for programming. The whole AVR memory and all pins are available to you. This is a fast USB AVR InSystem programmer ideal for your future projects. Our latest AVRprog2 Programmer is driven and powered by a single USB port on a PC. No additional AC power adapter is needed. The programmer is recognized by Windows, which simplifies the driver installation. The programmer board is specifically designed for In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP). The External Programmer and JTAG can be connected and used with the BIGAVR6 development system.

What's On-Board

• Double RS-232 communication with a PC or a microcontroller is performed via DB9 connectors.
• System can be configured by means of DIP switches. Each DIP switch configures one part of the system.
• Digital thermometer DS1820 measures temperature from -55°C to 125°C. It is connected to the system via socket.
• System supports 64- and 100-pin TQFP MCU Cards. It comes with an ATMEGA128.
• Potentiometer is used for testing multiple A/D conversions. Inputs can be configured via jumpers.
• USB or external power supply source is selected by moving a jumper. Power supply switch turns the system on/off.
• Serial EEPROM 24AA01 can store up to 1Kbit of data and uses I2C communication.
• All pins are connected to the IDC10 connectors for further expansion.
• 86 LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used to indicate the logic state of all MCU pins.
• On-board jumpers are used for pull-up or pull down port configuration. They are available for all pins.
• 86 push buttons are used to excite microcontroller digital inputs. These buttons are connected to all microcontroller pins.
• DIP switch is used to separate port pins from pull-up or pull down resistors.
• Very fast, on-board USB 2.0 programmer. There is no need for connecting the external programmer.
• LCD can be connected to the board via the on-board connector that is also connected to MCU pins.
• LCD Contrast Potentiometer is used for adjusting LCD Contrast.
• Touch Screen can be connected to the board via the Touch screen connector. There is also a Touch Screen controller.
• External power supply can be DC or AC. On-board jumper is used for selecting external power supply.
• USB connector with LED indication for microcontrollers with USB facilities.
• Graphic LCD 128x64 can be easily connected to the board via the on-board connector that is linked to MCU pins.
• All pins are marked on the back of the board. These marks provide basic information on the pins.
• Voltage level to be applied when a button is pressed (GND or +5V) is selected via the on-board jumper.
• CAN module is used for communication with other microcontrollers.
• Reset circuit is used to reset the microcontroller. It is connected to the MCLR pin of the microcontroller.
• GLCD Contrast Potentiometer is used for adjusting GLCD Contrast.
• Real-Time Clock (RTC) DS1307 with a battery supply is used to keep track of the current time.
• On-board connectors are used for programming with External programmer.
• JTAG port supports in-circuit debugging and firmware programming.
• MMCSD card slot enables you to use MMCSD memory cards easily.
• Voltage reference used for A/D converter can be VCC (5V) or 4.096 V.
• On-board LCD and GLCD holders ensure proper display placement.
