Adafruit Arduino Micro without Headers - 5V 16MHz ATmega32u4 - Assembled

The Arduino Micro is a compact yet powerful microcontroller board, measuring just 1.9” x 0.7” (48mm x 18mm), akin to a stick of gum. Powered by the ATmega32u4, it offers USB-native 8-bit microcontroller capabilities, with 32K of flash memory and 2.5K of RAM.

Convenience is key with direct programming via its USB micro connector. For those advancing in their projects, a 6-pin ISP header is available for low-level reprogramming. The board includes essential components such as a micro USB connection with a fuse, a Reset button, ON, TX, RX LEDs, and an extra user pin #13 LED.

Though lacking shield compatibility, it parallels the Arduino Leonardo’s pin layout, making it versatile for both basic sketches and USB client projects, allowing it to function as a mouse or keyboard. Ideal for projects requiring space efficiency or breadboard use, the 5V, 16MHz setup ensures reliable performance.
