.

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 Micro has two 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

fades this LED on and off while it is waiting

for a sketch to be loaded.

The

green

LED is connected to 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.

Connectors

The A-Star 32U4 includes a USB Micro-B connector that can be used to connect to a computer’s USB port via a

USB
