DESCRIPTION
This is the Adafruit METRO Arduino-Compatible - with headers. It's a fully assembled and
tested microcontroller and physical computing board with through-hole headers attached. If you
don't want a Metro with the headers attached for super-slimness, check out our Metro without
Headers.
The METRO works great with the Arduino IDE, and runs the ATmega328P at 16MHz so it is
shape and pin-compatible with Arduino UNO R3 shields and boards. You can use this with the
Arduino IDE (both desktop and cloud version) by selecting 'Arduino UNO' in the Boards menu.
We sure love the ATmega328 here at Adafruit, and we use them
a lot
for our own projects. The
processor has plenty of GPIO, Analog inputs, hardware UART SPI and I2C, timers and PWM
galore - just enough for most simple projects. When we need to go small, we use a Metro Mini
or a Trinket M0, but when size isn't as much of a concern, we reach for an Adafruit METRO.
METRO is the culmination of years of playing with AVRs: we wanted to make a development
board that is easy to use and is hacker friendly. At the heart is an ATmega328P, with 32KB of
flash and 2KB of RAM, running at 16 MHz. It comes with the Optiboot bootloader already
installed, and is Arduino IDE compatible.
Power the METRO with 7-9V polarity protected DC or the micro USB connector to any 5V
USB source. The 2.1mm DC jack has an on/off switch next to it so you can turn off your setup
easily. The METRO will automagically switch between USB and DC.
METRO has 19 GPIO pins, 6 of which are Analog in as well, and 2 of which are reserved
for the USB-serial converter. There's also 6 PWMs available on 3 timers (1 x 16-bit, 2 x 8-bit).
There's a hardware SPI port, hardware I2C port and hardware UART to USB. Logic level is
5V but by cutting and soldering closed a jumper, you can easily convert it to 3.3V logic
USB to Serial converter, there's a hardware USB to Serial converter that can be used by
any computer to listen/send data to the METRO, and can also be used to launch and update
code via the bootloader
Four indicator LEDs, on the front edge of the PCB, for easy debugging. One green power
LED, two RX/TX LEDs for the UART, and a red LED connected to pin PB5
Easy reprogramming, comes pre-loaded with the Optiboot bootloader, which is supported
by Arduino IDE, and avrdude and only uses 512 bytes - so you have lots of space for your
code!
Arduino IDE compatible, you can use this with the Arduino IDE (both desktop and cloud
version) by selecting 'Arduino UNO' in the Boards menu.
Works with all Adafruit shields!
We also include 4 rubber bumpers to keep it from slipping off your desk. Metro shown with our
12x capacitive touch shield attached just to demonstrate the headers, but that shield is not
included!
Mac & Windows People! Don't forget to grab & install the CP2014 VCP drivers from SiLabs
to make the COM/Serial port show up right! The default drivers may not support this
USB/Serial chip

Revision History:
As of August 31, 2015 we have updated the Metro's headers to be
slightly
taller so that they
are the same height as classic 'non-SMT' headers for a better shield-fit
As of Oct 12, 2017 we now have fully thru-hole headers instead of SMT headers.
As of March 30, 2018 we now have swapped the FTDI chip for a SiLabs CP2104
