Atxmega board

     In my projects, I used the Atxmega128A3U microcontroller by Atmel. To do so and easier, I built a board with all ports connected to the exterior with a flat cable and power included in the board as well as  a crystall to operate at different frequencies.

    This board has helped me greatly, and I connect all projects through it. The next picture shows the different parts and how the connectors are attached. Each one can have different distributions and they are also shown.

    To program and debug I usually use the AVR, Jtagice3 as a PDI interface (1Mhz), but I have used as well and without problem the AVRISP mkII and the AVR Dragon.

    If you are interested in buying one of these at 10€ including connectors boards without soldering parts, you can contact me at my email  linkntronix@gmail.com and I will send it to you.

Reading temperature

 Temperature measurement using PmodTMP2     One of the tings I wanted to do is to measure and read temperature with precission. I know there are lots of sensors and quite cheap, for example LM35, but I wanted a sensor which does all conversion and you just read the value, without the analogue problem as it can introduce error.     I have chosen this because it is small, measures positive and negative temperatures, interfers it with I2C protocol, its precission is better than 0.25ºC and its resolution is 0.0625ºC. Consult the inner chip  ADT7420 .      Obviously the chip is difficult to solder but they sell it with a small board and you only have to connect it through its pins. I bough it in Digikey, address  https://www.digikey.es/products/es?keywords=pmodTMP2     The following diagram shows how to connect this board to the Atxmega128A3U.           The value of the resistors R1 and R2 are not ...
