Description

LG8F328P mini EVB 5V Arduino Pro Mini replacement development board

The LG8F328P mini EV development board is a drop-in replacement Arduino Pro Mini pin compatible board. Instead of using the Pro Mini ATMega328p, it instead features the LG8F328P microcontroller. This microntroller was not only designed to be a low cost replacement for the ATMega328 but it also significantly improves on the 328s features. Most significant of which, the LG8F328P is capable of running sketches at over twice the speed of the Pro Mini and includes other improvements such as higher resolution ADCs, a DAC, high current output pins and built in unique serial number (GUID).

Arduino IDE Setup Guide:

Note: This setup guide assumes that you have already downloaded and installed the Arduino IDE. If not please download and install it from the Arduino website here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

Adding support for the LGT8F328P development board is as easy as adding support for most other types of Arduino boards thanks to a set of board manager files created by David Buezas. To add board support to your Arduino IDE simply follow these steps:

1) Open up your Arduino IDE and click on the ‘File’ menu then select ‘Preferences’

2) In the window that opens up locate the text box labelled ‘Additional Boards Manager URLs:’ then click on the open window button to the right of the text box:

3) In the window that opens up cut and paste the following on a new line:

4) Once pasted in, close the window and the Preferences window by clicking the OK buttons.

5) Next, in the main Arduino IDE window click the ‘Tools’ menu then go to the ‘Board:’ option and select ‘Boards Manager’ from the sub-menu.

6) In the Boards manager window that opens up locate the board files titled ‘LGT8fx Boards’ and then click on it’s install button.

7) The Arduino IDE will now install the board files required to support the LG8F328P board:
