Introduction
The STK502 board is a top module designed to add ATmega169 support to the STK500
development board from Atmel Corporation.
STK502 includes connectors and hardware allowing full utilization of the new features of
the ATmega169. The Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket makes it easy to use of TQFP
packages for prototyping.
This user guide is a general getting started guide as well as a complete technical refer-
ence for advanced users.
The STK502 board also includes a demonstration application, and comes with two
application notes, “AVR064: STK502 – A Temperature Monitoring System with LCD
Output” and “AVR065: LCD Driver for the STK502”. These application notes explain
how to use the different modules in the device. Included in the kit is a pre-programmed
ATmega169. Insert the device in the ZIF socket and the demonstration application will
start immediately.
