This diagram identifies the I/O and power pins on the A-Star 32U4 Mini (ULV, LV, and SV versions); it is
also available as a

For more information about the ATmega32U4 microcontroller and its peripherals, see Atmel’s ATmega32U4
documentation.

Printed on the A* circuit board are indicators that you can use to quickly identify each pin’s capabilities: a triangle
next to the pin means it can be used as an analog input, and a square wave symbol under the pin number means it can
be used as a PWM output.

LEDs

The A-Star 32U4 Mini has three indicator LEDs.

The

yellow

LED is connected to Arduino pin 13, or PC7. You can drive this pin high in a user program to turn this

LED on. The

A-Star 32U4 Bootloader

[http://www.pololu.com/docs/0J61/7]

fades this LED on and off while it is waiting

for a sketch to be loaded.

The

green

LED is connected to the pin labeled TXL, or PD5, and lights when the pin is driven low. While the board

is running the A-Star 32U4 Bootloader or a program compiled in the Arduino environment, it will flash this LED
when it is transmitting data via the USB connection.
