To learn more about using the Balboa 32U4, see the following list of resources:

• The Arduino IDE has many examples that can run on the Balboa 32U4 (although note that the control board’s on-board hardware might conflict with some of these examples).
• The Arduino website has a Language Reference, a wiki called the The Arduino Playground, and other resources.
• The Balboa 32U4 control board uses the same microcontroller as the Arduino Leonardo and Arduino Micro, so you can search the Internet for relevant projects and code examples that use one of those boards.
• Atmel’s ATmega32U4 documentation has the ATmega32U4 datasheet and many related documents.
• AVR Libc Home Page: this page documents the standard library of functions that you can use with GNU C and C++ compilers for the AVR.
