Power
This device can be powered by either the pins on the serial port or via the DC input jack. In either case the MCU can be provided with 3V3 or 5V. The jack feeds two LDO regulators which may be set via a jumper to select the required voltage.
The kit comes with a 16M resonator but I have installed a 16 MHz XTAL. The MCU is not rated to run at 16M using 3V3 but this configuration works fine for me.
Communications
A cp2104 serial module is well suited to connect to the RKAT28sb with it's built-in capacitor on DTR and is able to supply both 3V5 and 5V for VCC. The photo. top right, shows a cp2104 module connected.
Boot loader
This kit doesn't come with a chip and therefore no boot loader. The processor I bought was blank but has been programmed with optiboot.
ISP
A 6-pin ATMEL ISP header is present. This will require a ISP adapter for the USBasp.
