Arduino Leonardo Microcontroller Board with ATmega32u4

The Arduino Leonardo represents a leap forward in microcontroller technology. Built around the ATmega32u4, this board offers a wealth of features that mirror its predecessor, the Arduino UNO, while introducing some significant advancements. Imagine having 20 digital input/output pins at your disposal, where 7 can seamlessly transition to PWM outputs and 12 to analog inputs. All this is backed by a 16 MHz crystal oscillator ensuring reliable performance.

Connecting the Leonardo is a breeze. A micro USB connection, power jack, ICSP header, and reset button are all conveniently embedded. Power it with a simple USB connection to your computer, or use an AC-to-DC adapter or battery to harness its full potential for any creative endeavor. This flexibility empowers you to innovate without constraints.

The Leonardo distinguishes itself with built-in USB communication, a feature that sets it apart from previous models. Thanks to this, the board can double as a mouse and keyboard, in addition to being a virtual serial port. Imagine being able to control your computer with just a few lines of code. This breakthrough expands the possibilities for interactive projects and designs.

Equipped with pre-attached headers, the Leonardo is designed for a user-friendly setup, allowing you to focus on bringing your ideas to life without any extra hassle. Keep in mind, this board shines brightest with the latest Arduino IDE 1.0.1, so updating your tools ensures the best experience.
