<br>
==Introduction==
keyestudio REV3 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 [http://www.atmel.com/images/Atmel-8271-8-bit-AVR-Microcontroller-ATmega48A-48PA-88A-88PA-168A-168PA-328-328P_datasheet_Complete.pdf (datasheet)], fully compatible with ARDUINO REV3. <br>
It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, 2 ICSP headers and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. <br>
Note that the two ICSP headers are separately used to program the firmware to ATMEGA16U2-MU and ATMEGA328P-PU, but generally the two chips have been programmed well.<br>
The REV3 differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the Atmega16U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.<br>
The REV3 is the best board to get started with electronics and coding. If this is your first experience tinkering with the platform, the REV3 is the most robust board you can start playing with.

== Specialized Functions of Some Pins ==
* '''Serial communication:'''  Digital pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX).
* '''PWM Interfaces (Pulse-Width Modulation):''' D3, D5, D6, D9, D10, D11
* '''External Interrupts:''' D2 (interrupt 0) and D3 (interrupt 1). These pins can be configured to trigger an interrupt on a low value, a rising or falling edge, or a change in value. 
* '''SPI communication:''' D10 (SS), D11 (MOSI), D12 (MISO), D13 (SCK). These pins support SPI communication using the SPI library.
* '''IIC communication:'''  A4 (SDA); A5(SCL)

<br>
==Notice ==
'''1.''' The Arduino REV3 has a resettable polyfuse that protects your computer's USB ports from shorts and overcurrent. If more than 500 mA is applied to the USB port, the fuse will automatically break the connection until the short or overload is removed.<br>
'''2.''' Automatic (Software) Reset:<br>
Rather than requiring a physical press of the reset button before an upload, the Arduino REV3 board is designed in a way that allows it to be reset by software running on a connected computer. <br>
'''3.''' The REV3 board contains a trace that can be cut to disable the auto-reset. The pads on either side of the trace can be soldered together to re-enable it. It's labeled "RESET-EN". You may also be able to disable the auto-reset by connecting a 110 ohm resistor from 5V to the reset line; see this forum thread for details.

<br>
====Installing Driver====
Next, we will introduce the driver installation of REV3 development board. The driver installation may have slight differences in different computer systems. So in the following let’s move on to the driver installation in the WIN 7 system. <br>
The Arduino folder contains both the Arduino program itself and the drivers that allow the Arduino to be connected to your computer by a USB cable. Before we launch the Arduino software, you are going to install the USB drivers.<br>
<br>[[Image:KS0001-1.jpg|600px|frameless]]<br>
Plug one end of your USB cable into the Arduino and the other into a USB socket on your computer.
When you connect REV3 board to your computer at the first time, right click the icon of your “Computer” —>for “Properties”—> click the “Device manager”, under “Other Devices”, you should see an icon for “Unknown device” with a little yellow warning triangle next to it. This is your Arduino.<br>
<br>[[Image:Driver 1.png|600px|frameless]]<br>
Then right-click on the device and select the top menu option (Update Driver Software...) shown as the figure below..  
<br>[[Image:Driver 2.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

It will then be prompted to either “Search Automatically for updated driversoftware” or “Browse my computer for driver software”. Shown as below. In this page, select “Browse my computer for driver software”.
<br>[[Image:Driver 3.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

After that, select the option to browseand navigate to the “drivers” folder of Arduino installation. 
<br>[[Image:KS0286-4.png|800px|frameless]]<br>

Click “Next” and you may get a security warning, if so, allow the software to be installed. Shown as below. 
<br>[[Image:Driver 5.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

Once the software has been installed, you will get a confirmation message. Installation completed, click “Close”. 
<br>[[Image:Driver 6.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

Up to now, the driver is installed well. Then you can right click “Computer” —>“Properties”—>“Device manager”, you should see the device as the figure shown below.   
<br>[[Image:Driver 7.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

<br>

====Introduction for Arduino IDE Toolbar====
Double-click the icon of Arduino software downloaded well, you will get the interface shown below.
<br>[[Image:Ks0313图片1.png|600px|frameless]]<br>
('''Note:''' if the Arduino software loads in the wrong language, you can change it in the preferences dialog. See [https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Environment-Languages the environment page] for details.)
<br>[[Image:717.png|600px|frameless]]<br>
<br>
The functions of each button on the Toolbar are listed below:
<br>[[Image:IDE.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

{| class="wikitable" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
|-
!scope="row" |[[Image:IDE 1.png|600px|frameless]] Verify/Compile

|}

<br>

===Step2| Connect the board===
Connect the REV3 board to your computer using the USB cable. The green power LED should go on.
<br>[[Image:Ks0001A-2.png|600px|frameless]]<br>

<br>

===Step3| Select the Arduino Board ===
Open the Arduino IDE, you’ll need to click the “Tools”, then select the Board that corresponds to your Arduino.
<br>[[Image:Step3.jpg|600px|frameless]]<br>

<br>

===Step4| Select the Serial Port===
Select the serial device of the Arduino board from the Tools | Serial Port menu. This is likely to be COM3 or higher (COM1and COM2 are usually reserved for hardware serial ports). To find out, you can disconnect your Arduino board and re-open the menu; the entry that disappears should be the Arduino board. Reconnect the board and select that serial port.
Here you should select COM 3 as below.
<br>[[Image:Step4.jpg|600px|frameless]]<br>

'''Note:''' to avoid errors, the COM Port should keep the same as the Ports shown on Device Manager. 
<br>[[Image:Step4-1.jpg|600px|frameless]]<br>
<br>[[Image:Step4-2.jpg|800px|frameless]]<br>

<br>

===Step5| Upload the Program===
Below is an example program for displaying the Hello World!
Copy and paste the code to the Arduino environment IDE.
<pre>
int val; 
int ledpin=13; 
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); 
pinMode(ledpin,OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
val=Serial.read();
if(val=='R')
{
digitalWrite(ledpin,HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(ledpin,LOW);
delay(500);
Serial.println("Hello World!");
}
}
</pre>

Then click verify button to check the errors. If compiling successfully, the message "Done compiling." will appear in the status bar.
<br>[[Image:Step5.png|800px|frameless]]<br>
<br>
After that, click the “Upload” button to upload the code. Wait a few seconds - you should see the RX and TX leds on the board flashing. If the upload is successful, the message "Done uploading." will appear in the status bar. (Note: If you have an Arduino Mini, NG, or other board, you'll need to physically present the reset button on the board immediately before pressing the upload button.)
<br>[[Image:Step5-1.png|800px|frameless]]<br>

<br>

===Step6| Open the Serial Monitor===
After that, click the serial monitor button to open the serial monitor.

Then set the baud rate as 9600, enter an “R” and click Send, you should see the RX led on the board blink once, and then D13 led blink once, finally "Hello World!" is showed on the monitor, the TX led blink once. Congrats!
