 Each laboratory node is equipped with an ATmega2561 chip. Several peripherals, sensors and motors and network services are available for the user. The UI is necessary to observe results in the camera when programming remotely. Thus, a proper understanding of UI programming is essential to successfully using the devices.

-The module is equipped with a AC/DC rectifier circuit and a LDO voltage stabilizer (with low dropout) -an external feeder with voltage stabilization is not needed.
+<figure atmega2561>
-The module can be powered with a step down transformer with an output voltage which is greater than 6 volts and lower than 15 volts. In order to reduce power losses it is recommended to use power supply between 6-9V.  The POWER LED signalizes a connected feed (“POWER” description on the board).

-All ATmega2561 signals are available on three connectors on the edge of the board. Connectors pin assignment is described in the next part of this instruction. It includes full descriptions of ATmega2561 pins and their alternative functions. The module is equipped with a microprocessor reset circuit (when power on) and a reset button for a microprocessor restart. A microprocessor can be programmed with an on-board JTAG programmer over USB or with an ISP interface.

-To the seventh pin of port B (named as PB7) the status LED (described as PB7 on the board) is connected. This LED can be used as a status indicator of application software. Low state on PB7 pin causes the status LED to be lit.

-The module is equipped with SD memory card slot, where it can be used as a standard microSD memory card. The memory card is connected to the microcontroller via the ISP interface and can be used to store data where data must be maintained even if the power supply is removed.

-The graphical LCD display on the module is connected to port PA. In parallel the same port has external connector where all pins are aligned according to the standard 2 x 16 alphanumeric LCD 4 bit control. The user can choose whether to use the graphical or alphanumeric LCD. It is not possible to use both at the same time. The graphical LCD's background lighting can be logically controlled by the software. The back-light intensity of the alphanumeric LCD is regulated with on-board resistor and graphical LCD back-light can be controlled by the software. Both LCD displays are connected to port PA but only one at a time can be used. When selecting the alphanumeric LCD the jumper should be removed to avoid random control of graphical LCD background light.
