Tiny Circuits Small Form Factor
- Tiny Circuits ASD2101-R, The Tiny Circuits Tiny Shield USB (Universal Serial Bus) & ICP adds USB (Universal Serial Bus) support to the Tiny Duino having a micro-USB connector & using the very popular FTDI USB (Universal Serial Bus) to serial converter IC. Stack this board with your Tiny Duino & download new sketches via the Arduino IDE or add USB (Universal Serial Bus) communication capabilities to your projects. An essential function is the use of the DTR line from the FTDI IC to support auto-resetting into the processor's boot-loader, keeping the process of downloading sketches as simple as possible. Should you need to program the Atmel microcontroller on the Tiny Duino directly using an external programmer, a 6-pin In Circuit Programming (ICP) connection is also available on this board (the header is not included by default. The ICP connector uses the size & pinout of the new Atmel standard & this can be used directly with newer external programmers like the Atmel JTAGICE 3. The board has RX & TX status LEDs so you can observe the serial traffic to & from your Tiny Duino. This board is included in the Tiny Duino Basic Kit (73-4748) & the Tiny Duino Starter Kit (73-4749).
