Start Prototyping with the FPB-RA6T3

The FPB-RA6T3 features a 200 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M33 motor control microcontroller and provides a flexible platform for developing robotics and motion control applications. Its built-in SEGGER J-Link™ emulator allows developers to program and debug without additional hardware.

Arduino® UNO and Pmod™ interfaces, access to all MCU pins, sample software, and support for compatible sensors and wireless modules make it easier to expand your concept and move from an initial idea to a working prototype.
