How to install

Add the package to the arduino Boards Manager Urls:

• Go to Preferences
  • paste this url in Boards Manager URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dbuezas/lgt8fx/master/package_lgt8fx_index.json
• Go to Tools/Board/Boards manager
  • Type lgt8fx in the search box
  • install lgt8fx

Now the boards appear in the IDE and you can also select the clock speed.

32Mhz is twice as fast as a conventional arduino nano!

Features

• Fast_IO update
• Automatic prescaler setup
• In Menu support of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 Mhz
• Digital Analog Converter
• Voltage References INTERNAL1V024/INTERNAL2V048/INTERNAL4V096/DEFAULT/EXTERNAL (useful for example for analogRead or DAC analogWrite via analogReference(xxx));
• Analog Comparator (page 224 of datasheet v1.0.4)
• Differential Amplifier. See this Example.
• Computation Accelerator (page 52 of datasheet v1.0.4) Work by others
• SoftwareSerial @32Mhz (stable up to 230400 baud)

Differences to original core Larduino_HSP v3.6c

Disclamer

I have no association with Arduino, Logic Green, Atmel or anything. I just wanted to have a convenient way to use these boards and get them to work without hacks at max speed
