MEGA32U4 Acceleration Sensor Module

SKU: KIT0042

Nova uses MEGA32U4 as its main processing unit, resembling Arduino Leonardo but more portable. Its small size suits toys, installation art, VR, and game peripherals. It uses a 3.7V lithium battery (free supply) and Micro USB for charging. As an acceleration sensor module, it offers vibration measurement, with sample codes for LED control and issue solutions available.

    Pinout

    pinout The ports can be clearly distinguished as the picture performanced. And once you have gotten a Nova, you can easily know which port is D13 and which one is A0, etc.

    You can get the pin out in the right image, and the way to use this module is as the same as Leonardo but be care that not all the pins were given for you because of the limitation of its small size. Before you use this product, you can look up the website http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardLeonardo for details of the function of the pin you need. Nova (SKU:KIT0042) Nova (SKU:KIT0042)

    FAQ

    • Hello,
      is it possible to write on the Flash Memory to save data ?For example, create a log file.
      Thanks.

      Yes, nove is based on arduino leonardo, you can search related resource.

    • A couple reports indicate issues with the bootloader

      A solution is to upload the latest leonardo bootloader to Nova. The procedure is simple, requiring only a ISP programmer. plug in the ISP wires and flash the leonardo bootloader onto the nova board again, unbricking the Nova.

      On a side note, beware the battery connector, must be kept away from the pins on board, failing to do so could break the pins or even the controller if shorted. Electric tape on top of the pins could potentially help avoid this problem.
