Basic Description
The BasicATOM 28-M is a self contained microcontroller designed for demanding embedded use. It is
built upon the Microchip PIC16F876A (RevD Module uses PIC16F886) processor and is designed to be
pin-compatible to both the BasicATOM Pro 28-M module and the Basic Stamp line of modules.
Hardware Overview:

D
B
C

Pin 1

A: BasicATOM CPU PIC16F876A (RevD Module uses PIC16F886). Stores and executes program code.
B: Resonator circuit. Generates primary clock for CPU.
C: RS232 level shifting circuit. This allows the BasicATOM to connect directly to a PC.
D: Power regulator. Input 6 to 9VDC.

USB Programming Interface

The FTDI FT232 USB to serial microcontroller is recommended for your own custom designs requiring an USB interface. The schematic is setup for bus power. The FTDI is powered when plugged into a
USB port. You will need to power the module separately through a normal power regulator.
