SparkFun Digital Sandbox

Hardware

Platform Atmel AVR: Atmel AVR 8-bit MCUs deliver a unique combination of performance, power efficiency and design flexibility. Optimized to speed time to market-and easily adapt to new ones-they are based on the industry’s most code-efficient architecture for C and assembly programming

Microcontroller

ATMEGA328P

Frequency

8MHz

Flash

31.50KB

RAM

2KB

Vendor

SparkFun

Configuration

Please use sparkfun_digitalsandbox ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:sparkfun_digitalsandbox]
platform = atmelavr
board = sparkfun_digitalsandbox

You can override default SparkFun Digital Sandbox settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest sparkfun_digitalsandbox.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:sparkfun_digitalsandbox]
platform = atmelavr
board = sparkfun_digitalsandbox

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = atmega328p

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 8000000L

Debugging

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

SparkFun Digital Sandbox does not have on-board debug probe and IS NOT READY for debugging. You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below.
