Please refer to the Atmel application note, AVR370: MEGA-1284P Xplained 
Getting Started Guide, for more details regarding how to program the onboard 
microcontrollers. 
4.2 I/O expansion headers 
There are four available I/O expansion headers in the kit. Because of the low pin 
count on the device, the I/O expansion header pins are shared with onboard 
functionality. If “clean” expansion ports are needed, cut-straps are available to 
remove onboard functionality. 
 show what is shared on 
the respective header pins.

Notes: 
1.  AREF with 100nF capacitor to GND can be connected to ADC0 by shorting two 
pads marked EXTERNAL AREF on the bottom side of the board. 
2. These signals can be disconnected from the sensor/filter output by cutting the 
cut-straps marked SENSORS & FILTER on the bottom side of the board.
