11. Related Resources

To learn more about using the Pololu A-Star boards, see the following list of resources:

• The Arduino IDE has many examples that can run on the A-Stars.
• The Arduino website has a Language Reference, a wiki called the The Arduino Playground, and other resources.
• The A-Star boards are similar to the Arduino Leonardo and Arduino Micro, so you can search the Internet for relevant projects 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.
• A-Star 32U4 Arduino library
• AStar32U4 library documentation
• LUFA – the Lightweight USB Framework for AVRs
• WinAVR
• Microchip Studio for AVR and SAM Devices
• AVRDUDE
• AVR Freaks

Datasheets for some of the components found on the A-Star 32U4 boards are available below (not all components apply to every board):

• Texas Instruments TPS2113A power multiplexer datasheet (1k redirect)
• Texas Instruments DRV8838 motor driver datasheet (1k redirect)
