AT90USB1286 16 MHz USB Development Board

This NuoTo board provides a USB 2.0++ AVR development platform built around the AT90USB1286 microcontroller running at 16 MHz. It arrives with a pre-installed bootloader so application code can be downloaded directly over the common USB interface without an external programmer. The compact design includes pins ready for solderless breadboard use and ships with a USB cable.

Learners needing direct USB code download

The board suits hobbyists and students who want a tiny experimental platform that works with free software tools on OS X, Linux and Windows. The single pushbutton programming and Teensy Loader application simplify the workflow for beginners. Builders requiring a different microcontroller architecture, higher clock speeds or onboard peripherals not listed here should look at other options.

AT90USB1286 chip with 16 MHz clock

The decisive specification is the AT90USB1286 AVR microcontroller operating at 16 MHz, which defines the instruction set, peripheral set and USB capability of the board. This chip determines whether the development board matches the software libraries and project requirements you are targeting. Confirm that your toolchain and code base support this exact device before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Do I need a separate programmer to load code onto the AT90USB1286?

No separate programmer is required because the board ships with a bootloader and you download code through the USB 2.0 interface using the Teensy Loader application.

Will the 16 MHz AVR microcontroller run sketches written for 8 MHz boards?

Code written for 8 MHz targets will need its timing constants adjusted because this board runs at 16 MHz, but the same USB 2.0++ development environment supports both speeds.

How can I confirm the AT90USB1286 is communicating after I plug in the USB cable?

The board appears as a USB device in the OS device list and the Teensy Loader application shows a successful connection when the pushbutton is pressed.
