Overview

Description

The RL78/G14 Fast Prototyping Board comes equipped with a high-performance RL78/G14 microcontroller and is an evaluation board specialized for prototype development for a variety of applications. It has a built-in emulator circuit that is equivalent to an E2 emulator Lite so you can write/debug programs without additional tools. In addition, with Arduino Uno and PmodTM interfaces included standard and through-hole access to all pins of the microcontroller, and so on, it has high expandability.

Sample software is available for connecting between the RL78/G14 Fast Prototyping Board and various wireless modules or various sensor modules (HS3001 humidity and temperature, ZMOD4410 air-quality, etc.).

Please use Bluetooth®, LoRa® and Wi-Fi according to the radio regulations of each country during use.
