A-Star 32U4 Micro
The A-Star 32U4 Micro is a tiny programmable module featuring the ATmega32U4 AVR microcontroller. It packs a Micro-USB interface and 18 digital input/output pins (of which 6 are available to be used as PWM outputs and 8 as analog inputs) onto a board measuring only 1″ × 0.6″ and ships preloaded with an Arduino-compatible bootloader.

Notes:
- 1
- Without included optional headers. This measurement includes the USB Micro-B connector, which extends 0.05″ past the edge of the PCB.
- 2
- Without included optional headers.
- 3
- Note that 4 KB of the MCU's 32 KB of flash memory is used by the pre-installed USB bootloader. All 32 KB is available when programming via the ISP header rather than the bootloader.
- 4
- All 18 can be used as digital I/O and 8 can be used as analog inputs. 15 of the 18 are available along the sides for use in a breadboard; the remaining three are accessible through the ISP header.
- 5
- On VIN.
