This is my ARM M0+ ATSAM USB dongle with radio footprint for RFM69 or Lora Long range RFM95.

My main use is mini Serial Mysensors GW, and sniffer/debug tool with MYSController. etc. Not a fancy thing, but I use it, and it didn't take lot of space on a panel when i ordered it so, why not :)

Tested with RFM69 and RFM95. Just plug it, no usb cable!

Burning USB-CDC bootloader and Arduino

I'm using Mattairtech variant board. To find, bootloaders files and get all infos, please read : https://github.com/mattairtech/ArduinoCore-samd

Personally, I have no Atmel Ice. I use a Segger Jlink OB. It also exists cheap JTAG-SWD programmer which should work but I have not tried yet.

Simplified steps for burning bootloader with Segger Jlink OB (for more details, see links above):

1. Get a JTAG-SWD programmer. There are some cheap.
2. Download, install, and launch Atmel Studio
3. Connect your programmer to the JTAG port of the dongle
4. In Atmel Studio, go to Tools\Device Programming\ and Select your tools (the programmer), Device for MCU, Interface and apply.
5. Try to read Id of MCU. It should be ok.
6. Then, still in the same dialog, click on Memories. Select the .hex of the bootloader you want to burn, and click Program. Then you can read, verify etc..

Then you have to install mattairtech usb driver, and boards in Arduino Ide through Boards Manager (Arduino ATSAM, and mattairtech ATSAM D21). For more details, see link above.

** Sketch**

You can use Mysensors Serial GW sketch and add Neopixel lib for playing with the rgb led and Mysensors Indication API. For this you will need Mysensors libs > 2.0.

TODO

• upload STL

Donations

I'm trying to make opensource projects. I do this for free and sharing spirit. I don't do ads etc.. But if you think information here is worth of some money, or want to reward me, feel free to send any amount through paypal.

Or you can also order pcb through openhardware.io and pcbway. I will earn a little percentage that will allow me to order proto pcb and share more fun design.

Or pay me a protein smoothie if you see me! oh well, a beer is great too :)
