Official Arduino MKR Zero Developmemt Board - ABX00012
Official Arduino MKR Zero Development Board The Official Arduino MKR Zero Development Board combines the powerful features of the Arduino Zero with the compact and versatile MKR form factor, making it ideal for creative and educational projects alike. Designed around Atmel’s SAMD21 microcontroller, it features a 32-bit ARM Cortex M0+ core that enables efficient and robust 32-bit application development. This Arduino board is especially useful as a learning tool for developers exploring the world of modern embedded systems. One of its standout features is the onboard SD card connector with a dedicated SPI1 interface, allowing users to play and manage music files without the need for additional hardware. The MKR Zero development board is powered via micro-USB or a LiPo battery, offering flexibility in power management, and includes a built-in battery monitoring feature through an analog connection, adding further convenience for portable projects. NOTE: Unlike most Arduino and Genuino boards, the MKRZero operates at 3.3V. The highest voltage that the I/O pins can withstand is 3.3V. Applying voltages greater than 3.3V to any I/O pin may destroy the board. Features: Processor: Powered by the 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ SAMD21 microcontroller Operating Voltage: 3.3V low-power operation for energy-efficient projects Clock Speed: Runs at 48 MHz for smooth performance Memory: 256 KB of Flash memory, 32 KB of SRAM Input/Output Capabilities: 22 digital I/O pins, 12 analog input pins, 1 analog output (DAC) Audio Output: Integrated digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for audio features Communication Interfaces: Supports I2C, SPI, UART, and CAN bus protocols Storage Expansion: Onboard microSD card slot for logging or media storage Connectivity Support: Compatible with shields and external modules like the MKR WiFi 1010 for wireless communication Power Options: Can be powered via micro-USB or a LiPo battery using the JST connector Battery Monitoring: Built-in battery voltage monitoring through analog interface Form Factor: Compact MKR design ideal for space-constrained or portable projects Arduino MKR Zero Pinout Diagram:
