===== Lab / Exercises =====

==== Background: ARM Cortex M0+ Processor ====

{{https://www.arduino.cc/en/uploads/Guide/M0Pro_Usb_Ports.jpg?400}}

We will use the next generation **[[https://store.arduino.cc/arduino-m0-pro|Arduino M0 Pro]]** for this course. Its core is an **[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-M|ARM Cortex M0+]]** processor which make it faster and more powerful than the Arduino UNO based on the AVR-8-bit core. 

The CPU used is [[http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATsamd21g18|ATSAMD21G18]] having been designed by the former company Atmel which now has been taken over by Microchip.
