SAMDuino#

Author : Jun Kawahara (Fablab Kamakura)
Date created : 7/14/2020

SAMDuino is an ATSAMD21E breakout board, compatible with Arduino Zero. The board is powered by Microchip’s SAMD21E microcontroller, a 32-bit ARM Cortex® M0+ core. It runs at 3.3 V.

pin mapping#

Pin mapping depends on which bootlaoder you’ll burn onto SAMDuino.

Arduino Zero#

MattairTech MT-D21E(rev B)#

(WIP)
image source

burning a bootloader#

requirements#

  • SAMDuino (a target board)
  • programmer: CMSIS-DAP compliant adaptor(a programmer; hello.CMSIS-DAP.10.D11C)
  • 50-mil(1.27 mm) 10-pin mini squid cable with 10 x 100-mil(2.54 mm) sockets
  • Arduino IDE

Arduino Zero version#

  1. Connect your host PC and programmer. Make sure that your host PC can recognize your programmer as a USB device.

  2. In Arduino IDE, go to Tools > Board and select “Arduino Zero (Programming Port),” also Tools > Programmer and select “Atmel-ICE.”
    Now Burn Bootloader!

  3. After verbose messages, Arduino IDE will be able to detect SAMDuino as an “Arduino Zero(Native USB Port)“
    When you upload a sketch through USB, you have to select a board “Arduino Zero (Native USB Port)”

MattaireTech MT-D21E version#

  1. Install board package for ATSAMD21, if neccessary. Open Arduino > preferences… Add following URL to Additional Boards Manager URLs section. 

    http://www.mattairtech.com/software/arduino/package_MattairTech_index.json

  2. Go Tools > Board > Board Mangers…, search mattair and install MattairTech SAM D|L|C core for Arduino.

  3. In Arduino IDE, go to Tools > Board and select “MattairTech MT-D21E (rev B)“
    Microcontrller and Clock Srouce depend on your board design. Here I used SAMD21E18A and “32KHZ_CRYSTAL.”
    Then, Tools > Programmer and select “Atmel-ICE.”
    Now Burn Bootloader!

    4. After a long verbose messages, “MattairTech Xeno Mini” will show up on your port.

    It’s not “MT-D21E,” but your host PC is able to recognize your board as a USB device, named “MT-D21E.”

examples - Arduino Zero#

In Arduino IDE, Open File > Examples > 01.Basics > Blink, and upload. A built-in LED at pin 13 will blink.

hello echo (serial communication)#

Arduino Zero has at least two serial ports, SerialUSB for Native USB port (USB CDC) and Serial1 for 0(RX)/1(TX). Usual Serial which we use with Arduino Uno doesn’t work here unless if you define so.

serialUSB for Native USB port#

As you can see in Neil’s example code below, hello.D21E.echo.ino, in embdded programming week, he uses SerialUSB, not a familiar Serial. 

//
// hello.D21E.echo.ino
//
// ATSAMD21E USB echo hello-world
//
// Neil Gershenfeld 12/24/19
//
// This work may be reproduced, modified, distributed,
// performed, and displayed for any purpose, but must
// acknowledge this project. Copyright is retained and
// must be preserved. The work is provided as is; no
// warranty is provided, and users accept all liability.
//

void setup() {
   SerialUSB.begin(0);
   }

#define max_buffer 25

void loop() {
   static char chr;
   static char buffer[max_buffer] = {0};
   static int index;
   if (SerialUSB.available()) {
      chr = SerialUSB.read();
      SerialUSB.print("hello.D21E.echo: you typed \"");
      buffer[index++] = chr;
      if (index == (max_buffer-1))
         index = 0;
      SerialUSB.print(buffer);
      SerialUSB.println("\"");
      }
   }
Connect your host PC and a SAMDuino with a USB cable, and upload the sketch. Open a terminal and type a command like an image below, then type a byte character. If SAMDuino echoed back the character, the serial communication through Native USB port worked.

Serial1 for 0(RX)/1(TX)#

  1. Open hello.D21E.echo.ino with Arduino IDE.

  2. In the sketch, replace SerialUSB with Serial1. Set a baudrate because “0” doesn’t work.

    • SerialUSB.begin(0) -> Serial1.begin(9600)

    //
// hello.D21E.echo.ino
//
// ATSAMD21E USB echo hello-world
//
// Neil Gershenfeld 12/24/19
//
// This work may be reproduced, modified, distributed,
// performed, and displayed for any purpose, but must
// acknowledge this project. Copyright is retained and
// must be preserved. The work is provided as is; no
// warranty is provided, and users accept all liability.
//

void setup() {
Serial1.begin(9600); //set baudrate
}

#define max_buffer 25

void loop() {
static char chr;
static char buffer[max_buffer] = {0};
static int index;
if (Serial1.available()) { // SerialUSB -> Serial1
    chr = Serial1.read();
    Serial1.print("hello.SAMDuino.echo: you typed \"");
    buffer[index++] = chr;
    if (index == (max_buffer-1))
        index = 0;
    Serial1.print(buffer);
    Serial1.println("\"");
    }
}
    3. Connect a UART-USB converter and SAMDuino with jumper wires.
    - UART-USB converter TX <-> SAMDuino RX(0) - UART-USB converter RX <-> SAMDuino TX(1)

  3. Open a terminal and type a command like below. Serial port device depends on your UART-USB converter. 

    python -m serial.tools.miniterm /dev/cu.usbserial-A105196J

  4. Type a byte character. If SAMDuino echoed back the character, the serial communication through Native USB port worked.

Servo#

  1. In Arduino IDE, Open File > Examples > Servo > Sweep.

  2. Wire between SAMDuino and a servo as follows.

    • servo 5 V -> SAMDuino VBUS
    • servo GND -> SAMDuino GND
    • serov signal -> SAMDuino pin 9

  3. Upload the sketch. You’ll see the servo rotate like in the video below.

NeoPixel#

Adafruit NeoPixel Library supports ATSAMD21 (Arduino Zero/M0 and other SAMD21 boards) @ 48 MHz. I also confirmed that FastLED worked with SAMD21.

Here’s an example, NeoPixel-Knightrider which uses Adafruit Neopixel Library.
