The A-Star 32U4 Prime SV microSD is a versatile programmable board designed around the ATmega32U4 AVR microcontroller, adopting the widely recognized Arduino form factor. This configuration includes microSD support and preinstalled female headers, facilitating compatibility with numerous Arduino shields. The board's power management system is a standout feature, allowing efficient operation from a wide voltage range of 5 V to 36 V, regulated by an ISL85410 switching step-down converter. This ensures stable performance and the ability to power additional devices.
The microcontroller offers native full-speed USB capabilities, enabling it to function as a virtual serial/COM port interface and emulate a mouse or keyboard when connected to a computer. This enhances its versatility compared to boards relying on USB-to-serial adapters. The board provides access to all 26 GPIO lines, with seven available for PWM outputs and twelve for analog inputs, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
The A-Star 32U4 Prime SV is equipped with a preloaded Arduino-compatible bootloader, simplifying programming through the Arduino environment. It shares the same microcontroller and form factor as the Arduino Leonardo, ensuring compatibility with shields designed for similar boards. Additional features include user-controllable LEDs, pushbuttons, and a buzzer option for sound generation. The board can be powered via USB or an external source, with a power selection circuit for seamless switching between power inputs.

Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
The RA number must be included with the return.
Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
