Curiosity Nano Quick Start

Steps to start exploring the Curiosity Nano platform:
  1. 1. Download Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X.
  2. 2. Launch Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X.
  3. 3. Connect a USB cable (Standard-A to Micro-B or Micro-AB) between the PC and the debug USB port on the kit.

When the Curiosity Nano kit is connected to your computer for the first time, the operating system will perform a driver software installation. The driver file supports both 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. The drivers for the kit are included with Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X.

Once the Curiosity Nano board is powered the green status LED will be lit and Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X will auto-detect which Curiosity Nano board is connected. Atmel Studio/Microchip MPLAB® X will present relevant information like data sheets and kit documentation. The ATtiny1607 device is programmed by the on-board debugger and therefore no external programmer tool is required.
