... Dimensions Power The MC-NANO can be powered via the Mini-B USB connection 20V unregulated external power supply (pin 30 regulated external power supply (pin 27). The power source is automatically selected to the highest voltage source. The FTDI FT232RL chip on the Nano is only powered if the board is being powered over USB result, when running on external (non-USB) power, the 3 ...

... Communication The MC-NANO has a number of facilities for communicating with a computer, another board, or other microcontrollers. The ATmega328 provide UART TTL (5V) serial communication, which is available on digital pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). An FTDI FT232RL on the board channels this serial communication over USB and the FTDI drivers (included with the Arduino™ software) provide a virtual com port to software on the computer. The Arduino™ ...

... Automatic (Software) Reset Rather than requiring a physical press of the reset button before an upload, the MC-NANO is designed in a way that allows reset by software running on a connected computer. One of the hardware flow control lines (DTR) of the FT232RL is connected to the reset line of the ATmega168 or ATmega328 via a 100 nanofarad capacitor. When this line is asserted (taken low), the reset line drops long enough to reset the chip. The Arduino™ ...
