PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Jade N1+ development board is an improved version of the classic Nano board, featuring a USB Type-C connector (upgraded from microUSB) and using the HT42B534-2 chip for USB 2.0 to Serial (UART) conversion. The board can be programmed using Arduino via USB (preloaded with a bootloader). The board is equipped with 22 digital I/O pins, programmable via the Arduino IDE. These pins are distributed as follows: - 14 digital pins, 9 of which support PWM. Of these, pins 0 and 1 are reserved for USB connections. - 8 analog pins, which can also be used as digital pins but do not support PWM. The microcontroller includes hardware peripherals for UART (2), SPI (2), and TWI/I2C (2). The USB-Serial HT42B534-2 chip is connected to the RX (0) and TX (1) pins of the board. These pins cannot be used for other functions while the board is powered via USB. The Arduino software includes a serial monitor that enables data transmission to and from Arduino. The RTx LED will blink when data is transmitted via the HT42B534-2 chip and USB connection to the computer (but not for serial communications on pins 0 and 1). On Nano boards, pins can be used as touch sensors; however, the library used consumes almost all hardware resources and processing power, leaving insufficient resources for practical applications. The Atmega328PB microcontroller used in N1+ includes a hardware PTC controller that handles this task, leaving board resources available to the user. |

Arduino IDE Connection Example:
Step 1 - Download Arduino IDE
Before connecting the board, start by downloading Arduino IDE 1.8.x from the link above, depending on your preferences and the operating system you use.
Step 2 - Connect the development board to the computer
After the initial connection via a USB-C cable, the computer will attempt to locate a compatible driver. In this case, the board will connect directly to Windows using the HT42B534-2 chip, as its drivers will be installed automatically.
Step 3 - Perform the necessary settings in Arduino IDE.
In "File->Preferences->Additional Boards Manager URLs:", add the following link: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GroundStudio/Boards/master/package_groundstudio_index.json".
Go to "Tools->Board->Boards Manager".
Search for the board package "GroundStudio Jade Boards" and install the latest available version.
After installation, you will have the "GroundStudio Jade Nano+" board available in the "Tools" menu.
Next, you need to tell Arduino IDE which serial port of your computer the Jade Nano+ is connected to. For this, go to "Tools", and then select the COM port for Jade Nano+.
If you have multiple ports and are unsure which one is Jade Nano+, disconnect it momentarily and check in "Device Manager" under the "Ports" section to see which disappears.
After selecting the COM port and the board, you can upload the "Blink" code from the menu File->Examples->01.Basics->Blink.
