1 Overview

The MC320 kit is a complete hardware system which demonstrates motor control
using ATmega32M1 and features CAN and LIN connectivity.

The MC300 is a general-purpose power stage board able to drive brushless DC,
brushed DC and stepper motors. The board is designed to be a flexible platform for
developing motor control applications.

The MC310 is the device board for ATmega32M1 AVR
to the MC300.

The ATmega32M1 is the first AVR
