This diagram identifies the I/O and power pins on the A-Star 32U4 Prime (LV and SV versions); it is also available (along with the power distribution diagram below) as a printable PDF (1MB pdf). For more information about the ATmega32U4 microcontroller and its peripherals, see Atmel’s ATmega32U4 documentation.

The outermost rows of pins of the A-Star 32U4 Prime correspond to the pins on an Arduino Leonardo, and each is duplicated on a second inner row for more convenient access. Printed on the A* circuit board are indicators that you can use to quickly identify each I/O pin’s capabilities: a triangle by the inner through hole means the pin can be used as an analog input, and a square wave symbol next to the hole pair means the pin can be used as a PWM output.

The A-Star 32U4 Prime matches the Arduino Leonardo and the Arduino Uno R3 in the shape of its circuit board and the arrangement of its pins. Furthermore, it uses the same ATmega32U4 microcontroller as the Leonardo, running at the same voltage and frequency, so the A* should generally work with any shield or accessory that is compatible with the Leonardo (including our Zumo Robot for Arduino).

A yellow user LED is connected to Arduino pin 13, or PC7. You can drive this pin high in a user program to turn this LED on. The A-Star 32U4 Bootloader fades this LED on and off while it is waiting for a sketch to be loaded.

A green user LED is connected to PD5 and lights when the pin is driven low. While the board is running the A-Star 32U4 Bootloader or a program compiled in the Arduino environment, it will flash this LED when it is transmitting data via the USB connection.

A red user LED is connected to Arduino pin 17, or PB0, and lights when the pin is driven low. While the board is running the A-Star 32U4 Bootloader or a program compiled in the Arduino environment, it will flash this LED when it is receiving data via the USB connection.

The AStar32U4Prime library contains functions that make it easier to control the three user LEDs. All three user LED control lines are also LCD data lines, so you will see them flicker when you update the LCD. The green and red user LEDs also share I/O lines with pushbuttons (see below).

The A-Star 32U4 Prime has four pushbuttons: a reset button next to the power switch and three user pushbuttons located along the right edge of the board. The user pushbuttons, labeled A, B, and C, are on Arduino pin 14 (PB3), PD5, and Arduino pin 17 (PB0), respectively. Pressing one of these buttons pulls the associated I/O pin to ground through a resistor.

The three buttons’ I/O lines are also used for other purposes: pin 14 is MISO on the SPI interface, PD5 and pin 17 control the green and red user LEDs, and all three pins are LCD data lines. Although these uses require the pins to be driven by the AVR (or SPI slave devices in the case of MISO), resistors in the button circuits ensure that the A-Star will not be damaged even if the corresponding buttons are pressed at the same time, nor will SPI or LCD communications be disrupted. The functions in the AStar32U4Prime library take care of configuring the pins, reading and debouncing the buttons, and restoring the pins to their original states.

The assembled versions of the A-Star 32U4 Prime come with a buzzer that can be used to generate simple sounds and music. The buzzer is not present on the SMT-only versions, but the buzzer driver circuit is still populated, allowing you to solder in your own buzzer or speaker. The stock buzzer is available as part of the A-Star 32U4 Prime accessory pack.

A through-hole jumper next to the buzzer provides a way to connect the buzzer input to digital pin 6 (which also serves as OC4D, a hardware PWM output from the AVR’s 10-bit Timer4). If you alternate between driving the buzzer pin high and low at a given frequency, the buzzer will produce sound at that frequency. You can play notes and music with the buzzer using functions in the AStar32U4PrimeBuzzer library.

Some versions of the A-Star 32U4 Prime include an onboard microSD card connector that enables the microcontroller to read from and write to microSD memory cards. The card socket is connected to the SPI interface on the ATmega32U4 through level-shifting circuits, allowing the 5 V microcontroller to safely communicate with standard 3.3 V SD cards. DI, DO, and SCLK on the card are connected to MOSI, MISO, and SCK on the AVR, respectively. The Arduino SD library can be used to access the file system on an inserted microSD card.

The A-Star 32U4 Prime has a mounting location for a 2×7 header where you can connect a character LCD with the common HD44780 parallel interface (109k pdf). The A* is optionally available with a male header installed here and an 8×2 character LCD (with corresponding female header) included; on other versions, you can add your own display using the connectors of your choice. A larger LCD can be connected with a ribbon cable and optionally a shrouded box header.

The LCD control lines are broken out to a column of through holes next to the LCD connector, labeled on the back side of the board. By default, some of these are connected to I/O lines from the ATmega32U4 to allow control of the LCD in 4-bit mode, but you can remap the connections by cutting the surface-mount jumpers indicated in the picture below and making new connections between I/O lines and LCD control pins.

The AStar32U4PrimeLCD library provides functions to display data on a connected LCD. It is designed to gracefully handle alternate use of the LCD data lines by only changing pin states when needed for an LCD command, after which it will restore them to their previous states. This allows the LCD data lines to be used for other functions (such as pushbutton inputs and LED drivers).

The A-Star 32U4 includes a USB Micro-B connector that can be used to connect to a computer’s USB port via a USB A to Micro-B cable (not included). The USB connection can be used to transmit and receive data from the computer, and a preloaded USB bootloader makes it possible to program the board over USB. The USB connection can also provide power to the A-Star.

The A-Star 32U4 Prime can either be powered directly from the USB 5 V supply or from an external voltage source, which is regulated to 5 V by its onboard switching regulator. The slide switch on A* controls whether the external source is connected to the input of the regulator, providing a convenient way to switch off external power to the A-Star without unplugging any connections. The adjacent set of three pins provides a place to connect your own power switch: to enable external power, connect the middle pin to ground (accessible through the upper pin).

In some situations, it might be undesirable for the A-Star 32U4 Prime to draw power from an external source when it is connected to USB, even if the power switch is left on. If this is the case, the regulator can be disabled by driving the regulator shutdown pin, SHDN, high; this shuts down the regulator and causes the power mux to fall back to USB power. For example, this could allow a battery-powered system to automatically turn off the regulator while it is connected to a computer.

When the A-Star 32U4 Prime is being powered through Power In, the sum of the 5V output current, 3V3 output current, GPIO output current, and current used by the board itself should not exceed the maximum current that the switching regulator can provide.

In a battery-powered application, it might be useful for the A-Star to monitor the battery’s voltage level. The BATLEV pin provides access to a voltage divider that outputs a fraction of the VIN voltage (one-third on the ac03b LV, one-fourth on the ac03e LV, and one-eighth on the SV), and this voltage can be read by connecting it to the adjacent analog pin 1 (A1) (or another analog input). The readBatteryMillivoltsLV3(), readBatteryMillivoltsLV4(), and readBatteryMillivoltsSV() functions in the AStar32U4 library can be used to determine the battery voltage from this reading.

To help interface with all the on-board hardware on the A-Star 32U4, we provide the AStar32U4 library. The AStar32U4 library documentation provides detailed information about the library, and the library comes with several example sketches.

Move the “AStar32U4” folder into the “libraries” directory inside your Arduino sketchbook directory. You can view your sketchbook location by opening the “File” menu and selecting “Preferences” in the Arduino IDE. If there is not already a “libraries” folder in that location, you should make the folder yourself.

This is a C++ library for the Arduino IDE that helps access the on-board hardware of the A-Star 32U4 controllers, which is a family of programmable controllers from Pololu based on the ATmega32U4. You can program an A-Star 32U4 directly from the Arduino IDE without using this library, but this library makes it easy to:

(Not all of these features are available on every A-Star 32U4. For more information about each particular A-Star controller, please refer to their documentation and respective product pages.)

Move the "AStar32U4" folder into the "libraries" directory inside your Arduino sketchbook directory. You can view your sketchbook location by opening the "File" menu and selecting "Preferences" in the Arduino IDE. If there is not already a "libraries" folder in that location, you should make the folder yourself.

Several example sketches are available that show how to use the library. You can access them from the Arduino IDE by opening the "File" menu, selecting "Examples", and then selecting "AStar32U4". If you cannot find these examples, the library was probably installed incorrectly and you should retry the installation instructions above.

You should avoid adding extra #include lines such as Pushbutton code included in the AStar32U4 library. The only #include line needed to access all features of this library is:

This library has been successfully tested on many boards including: ESP32; STM32; Mega 2560; DUE; ATmega328 and Atmega32u4 based boards; ATtiny85, Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) and more. See Boards where this library has been successfully tested.

Finally, if you use a library to deal with IC2 bus (Wire.h); TFT, OLED, SPI devices, and Serial UART communication as well, why do not use a library to deal with SI473X devices? Well, the PU2CLR Arduino Library can offer more comfort, development agility and robustness to your project. It is important to remember that, unlike closed solutions, this library is open source. So, if you want, you can know the implementation details by studying the source code. To use this library or not, that is the question and your choice.

With this library, more than 60 examples were developed using various display types. These examples can assist the experimenter in building their own receiver.

Cross-platform. You can compile and run this library on most of board available on Arduino IDE (Examples: ATtiny85, boards based on ATmega328 and ATmega-32u4, ATmega2560, ARM Cortex, STM32, Arduino DUE, ESP32 and more). See Boards where this library has been successfully tested;

Please, check the folder extras/schematic/. There, you will find other schematics with OLED, LCD, Nokia 5110, TFT, buttons and encoders setup. Also, check the comments at the beginning of each sketch example. You will find the SI473X, button, encoder, display and Arduino settings.

I²C bus devices are available in different speeds. If you are using an I²C display device, check if its speed is compatible with the Si47XX and also with the current speed used by the master MCU;

PU2CLR SI4844 Arduino Library. This is an Arduino library for the SI4844, BROADCAST ANALOG TUNING DIGITAL DISPLAY AM/FM/SW RADIO RECEIVER, IC from Silicon Labs. It is available on Arduino IDE. This library is intended to provide an easier interface for controlling the SI4844.

I"ve also included a version for ATmega32u4-based boards, like the LilyPad USB and Arduino Micro. This version has a nine-octave range, C1 to B9, on Arduino pin D10.

To hear the result connect a piezo speaker between pin D3 and ground (or D10 on ATmega32u4-based Arduinos). I recommend getting a piezo speaker at least 20mm across for better quality sound.

The Zumo 32U4 robot of Pololu is a versatile tracked robot that use a ATmega32U4 microncontroler. The Zumo is an Arduino-compatible powered MCU. It includes two 75:1 HP micro metal gearmotors and a dual motor drivers, an LCD display, motor encoders, line sensor, proximity sensors on the front and sides to detect objects, a full Inertial Unit (IMU) to detect impacts and to keep track of of the orientation. This low-profile robot is less than 10 cm × 10 cm, it is small enough to participate to Mini Sumo contests.

The Zumo 32U4 is a highly integrated, user-programmable and customizable tracked robot. It weighs approximately 170 g without batteries (275 g with). It is small small and light but its versatility makes it capable of lot of things (much more than robot sumo battles).

At the heart of the Zumo 32U4 is beated by an Atmel ATmega32U4 microcontroller. Like the A-Star 32U4 programmable controllers of Pololu, the Zumo 32U4 features a USB interface and has an Arduino-compatible bootloader. A software add-on is available that makes it easy to program the robot from the Arduino environment. Pololu offers Arduino libraries and sample code to get you started easily. A USB A to Micro-B cable (not included) is required for programming.

The Zumo 32U4 use two H-bridge motor drivers and integrates a variety of sensors, including a pair of quadrature encoders (allows a closed-loop motor control), a inertial measurement unit (3-axis accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer), a line tracker / edge detection sensor (made with 5 downward-facing reflectance sensors) and proximity / obstacle detection sensor on the sides.

The Zumo 32U4 robot runs off of four AA batteries. It works with both alkaline and NiMH batteries, though we recommend using rechargeable AA NiMH cells.

DCS-BIOS allows Arduino to retrieve the status of the in-game cockpit, and the obtained variables can be used in a number of ways. For instance, I used DCS-BIOS for my Ka-50 TFT; a fellow pilot from the 132nd is using it to build an A-10C cockpit.

This panel uses an Arduino Leonardo, as usual based on ATmega32U4. The wiring diagram is extremely simple and similar to other previous projects you can find in my Articles page.

Before including DcsBios.h, you have to define a preprocessor macro that tells the DCS-BIOS Arduino Library what mode it should operate in. If you are using an Arduino board that has either an ATMega328 or an ATMega2560 chip, such as the Uno, Pro Mini, Nano or Mega 2650 boards, use DCSBIOS_IRQ_SERIAL. If your board has a different microcontroller, you can use DCSBIOS_DEFAULT_SERIAL instead, which should work with any Arduino-compatible board but can cause problems if your sketch spends a long time updating outputs, either because you are outputting to something “slow” like displays or you are using a lot of outputs (such as trying to run a Caution Lights Panel with 48 instances of DcsBios::LED).

In my TFT project I use an Arduino Uno, hence I use IRQ_SERIAL. In Donkey’s project we are using DEFAULT_SERIAL because the board is an Arduino Leonardo based on the ATmega32u4. Long updates are not really an issue because we are simply displaying the status of the AP channels.

The A-Star 32U4 Micro breaks out 15 general-purpose I/O lines along two rows of pins, including 7 usable as PWM outputs and 8 usable as analog inputs. It fits all this into a 20-pin dual in-line package (DIP) measuring only 1″ × 0.6″ (even smaller than competing ATmega32U4 boards like the Teensy 2.0 and Pro Micro), and its 0.1″ pin spacing makes the A* easy to use with 0.1″-pitch connectors.

The A-Star 32U4 ships with a preloaded Arduino compatible bootloader (which uses 4 KB of flash memory, leaving 28 KB available for the user program). We provide a software add-on that enables the board to be easily programmed from the Arduino environment. The A-Star 32U4 uses the same microcontroller as the

The board can either be powered directly from the USB 5 V supply or from a separate 5.5 V to 15 V source on the VIN pin, which is reduced to 5 V by a 100 mA low-dropout (LDO) regulator; you can access this 5 V supply through the 5V power output pin. Additionally, the ATmega32U4 contains an internal 3.3 V regulator whose output is available on the 3V3 pin. Current drawn from the 3V3 output should not exceed about 50 mA, and when the board is being powered through VIN, the sum of the 5V output current, 3V3 output current, GPIO output current, and current used by the board itself (typically about 25 mA) should not exceed 100 mA.
