USER MANUAL
Thanks for purchasing Robosapienss ATMEGA-16 Mini Board for Robotics & Embedded Application. This Development Board is specially designed to perform the Robotics application and embedded programming using ATMEGA-16 AVR Microcontrollers.
1. Introduction 1.1 Overview

The Mini Board is a complete starter kit and development system for the AVR Atmega16 flash microcontrollers from ATMEL Corporation. It is designed to give designers a quick start to develop code on the AVR. This document covers features of this product with detail explanation of each sections and its use.
1.2 Features
Programming through Bootloading through USB or 6-Pin ISP (In System Programming) cable Driver Software not required ( Plug & Play device) USB Port for Bootloading Exposed Four ports available for user interface PORTA-8 Data Lines, PORTB-8 Data Lines, PORTC-8 Data Lines, PORTD-8 Data Lines Port for USART/UART communication Buzzer for sound output Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) interfaced on ADC port External Reset Switch 16x2 LCD interfacing port with on board contrast controlling preset. Two supply inputs: one through battery and second through adapter. On board 5 volt regulated power supply for the board and external peripherals. Two H-Bridge implemented in the board using L293D IC to drive two DC motor with 1A drive current at voltages 4.5 to 36 volt. Comes with Built in Black Line Follower Robot Program
1.3 Known Issues

There are at the moment no known issues with the Mini Board.
1.4 Precautions
USB Bootloader must be used always. If kit is once programmed using ISP, USB Bootloading firmfare will get erased and cannot be used for programming. Pin A0 is reserved for Bootloading application, it should not be used. NOTE: Novice users must not use ISP Programmer on this kit.
2. Getting Started 2.1 Quick Start

The Mini Board can source power to the microcontroller through the USB cable. Remember that the power available through the USB cable is limited. If your application attaches several peripherals to the board, you should use an external power source connected to the DC input socket on Mini Board. The external power supply should be 9-12V DC with positive centre connector. The red POWER LED is lit when power is on.
2.2 Connecting the Hardware

The Mini Board must be connected to a host PC with a USB cable for programming. Connect the cable to a USB port on the PC or on a USB hub. The USB port must be capable of supplying 500mA. If using a USB hub, make sure it has an external power supply. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB connector on Mini Board.

4.1 Microcontroller
The Mini Board is designed for AVR Atmega16.
4.2 Power Supply

The supply voltage to the AVR microcontroller is provided either through DC Jack or USB. It is connected to the AVR's VCC pin.
4.2.1 DC Jack
Connect external power supply to this jack.
4.2.2 USB
Connect USB connector to this Port.
4.2.3 Power LED

LED will glow when Power in On.
4.3 USB Port

For programming the Mini Board connect the USB port on Mini Board to a free USB port on the PC or on a USB hub through cable.
4.4 Reset Button

Press this button to reset the Mini Board. Reset Button is connected on Pin no. 9 (RESET)
4.5 LDR
LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) is connected to microcontroller for applications that are dependent on intensity of external light source. LDR is connected on Pin no. PA1
4.6 ISP
In-System Programming uses the AVR internal SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) to download code into the flash and EEPROM memory of the AVR. ISP programming requires only VCC, GND, RESET and 3 signal lines for programming.
The AVR can be programmed at the normal operating voltage, normally 2.7V-6.0V. No high voltage signals are required. The ISP programmer can program both the internal flash and EEPROM. It also programs fuse bits for selecting clock options, startup time and internal Brown Out Detector (BOD) for the device. During ISP programming the 6-wire cable must always be connected to the header marked ISP (6PIN). ISP port also acts power source. ISP is connected on Pin nos.
