Seeeduino v2.21

Here is the wiki page for Both Seeeduino V2.21 Atmega 168P and Seeeduino V2.21 Atmega 328P.

Seeeduino is Arduino compatible board. Its design is based on Diecimila scheme, 100% compatible to its existing program, shield and IDEs. On the hardware part, remarkable changes are taken to improve the flexibility and user experience.

Features

Inherits all of Arduino Diecimila's features.
Compatible to Diecimila's pin layout, screw hole and dimensions.
Evolved with SMD components
Improved on extensibility and convenience

FAQ

Here is the Seeeduino FAQ, now the version is v2.21, users can list the Frequently Asked Questions here, example as below:

What is Seeeduino

Answer: Seeeduino is a ...

How do I use the Seeduino 328 with the Arduino IDE?

Answer: Select the "Arduino Dueminalove 328" in the Arduino IDE and also make sure the reset switch is set to AUTO for programming.

What voltages can I feed through the JST power connector

Answer: This is a non-authoritative (user-submitted) response. The JST connector is connected to a L1117-50 voltage regulator which takes the input voltage down to 5.0 VDC. The L1117 is a LDO (low-drop out) regulator, so it needs a minimum of +1.2 volts over the regulated voltage to operate. In conclusion, you need a minimum of at least 6.2 VDC but more is preferred. The maximum voltage is 15 volts DC for the regulator, however this assumes best-case scenario for the regulator. To be on the safe side with adequate margins on both ends, you should keep the voltage between 7 VDC and 13 VDC.

What is the use of M_RST_A switch ?

""Answer:""M_RST_A switch , turn on 'M' mean when you download the program the board will auto restart , turn on 'A' will not auto restart ,default to turn on 'M'

Bug Tracker

Bug Tracker is the place you can publish any bugs you think you might have found during use. Please write down what you have to say, your answers will help us improve our products.

The mini-USB connector can break off the board very easily if you apply sidewise force while a mini-USB cable is connected. Consider using an extension USB cable and refrain for plugging/unplugging the mini-USB cable to/from the Seeduino board very often.
