Nano 3.0

nano.jpg

This example is a clone with a CH340G USB UART.

These clones are very cheap and are nano 3.0 compatible with an ATMEGA328P micro-controller and 16 MHz XTAL.

Power

This device is either powered from the USB bus of from VIN which feeds a 5V LDO regulator.

The V3 pin on the CH340G (4) is used to generate the external 3V3 power on pin 17. Chip documentation suggests that this pin was not designed for this task and its maximum current capability is unknown.

Communications

Communications is via the built-in CH340G usb to serial bridge. This device can achieve 115200 baud.

Boot loader

An arduino boot loader is present on this device by default running at 57600 baud. Installation of Optiboot is recommended to increase this speed to 115200.

ISP

A 6-pin ATMEL ISP header is present. This will require an ISP adapter for the USBasp.
