Description
Minicomputer with Windows 10 installed! Equipped with a processor Intel Cherry Trail Z8350 Quad Core 1.8 GHz. In addition, it has 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in memory EMMC, wi-fi and Bluetooth 4.0, 2x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.0, a microSD slot, and an Ethernet port. In addition, Panda features microcontrollerATmega32u4 known from Arduino Leonardo, which controls 20 GPIOs. This combination allows the direct programming of the embedded Leonardo of Windows 10 via the serial interface.
| LattePanda has installed the operating system Windows 10! |
What does it take to run LattePanda?
- MicroUSB power supply – with a minimum load current of 2 A.
- HDMI cable- to connect the device to the monitor.
- Mouse and keyboard – to control and input data into the device.
First run
Starting LattePanda is very easy, to enjoy the OS from desktop Windows 10 you have to:
- Connect the power adapter with a micro USB connector with performance above 2 A.
- The LED located under the device should illuminate red.
- Then just press and hold the Power button (the first one next to the Ethernet slot) for approx. 1 sec.
- The minicomputer will start, showing on the screen the logo LattePanda.
- Now, you just have to configure Windows 10 in the same way as, for example, after buying a new laptop.
LattePanda also has connectors for modules and sensors from the Gravity series.
Operating system
The disk of LattePanda is embedded memory EMMC. Windows 10’s operating system is already installed by the manufacturer. Just run the minicomputer and configure Windows to your liking.
The picture and sound
LattePanda has a HDMI port through which you can send pictures and sound.
Power
As a power source, the system uses a micro USB connector. The manufacturer recommends that the voltage have values of 5 V and the minimum current must be not less than 2.0 A.

Communication
LattePanda has basic communication interfaces that can be found in office computers of PC class. In addition to the previously listed connectors for audio and video, the user has at his or her disposal:
- three connectors: USB 2x USB 2.0 + 1x USB 3.0 to which you can connect, for example, a mouse, keyboard, or USB flash drive. If you find that the slots are too short, you can increase their number using an external USB HUB.
- Ethernet slot, that is the ability to directly connect to the LOCAL network
- the wi-fi module allows communication with wireless network 802.11 b g n
- Bluetooth 4.0– allows data transmission through the interface
- GPIO– outputs/inputs with general purpose that can be used to control the LEDs, buttons, and drivers of engines. 20 pins are navigated through the coprocessor Atmega32u4 known from board Arduino Leonardo.

Compatible with Arduino
Minicomputer has an additional microcontroller Atmega32u4 – known from board Arduino Leonardo. This system operates 20 digital I/O and interfaces designed to communicate with modules and sensors like UART, I2C, and SPI. In addition, the manufacturer installed several connectors for modules of the Gravity series.
