Especially the Arduino official team decided to use a Creative Commons CC license to keep the idea of openness alive. Under the CC license, anyone is allowed to produce and sell copies of the Arduino development board without paying royalties to the Arduino official, or even obtaining an official license from the Arduino, just to explain the contribution of the Arduino team and to keep the name of the Arduino.
Therefore, there are two main kinds of development boards on the Internet, one is the official board produced by Arduino officially, and the other is the clone board made and sold by other manufacturers using the design of the Arduino team.
This development board can be said to be the most cost-effective one of all products, and also the most suitable for beginners to learn to use the development board.
The Arduino Mega development board is similar to the Arduino Uno but is twice the size of the Uno development board. If you are developing a project that needs more pins than Uno to control external devices and collect sensor data, Mega can meet your needs. In addition, Mega has more hardware serial interfaces for serial communication with more external devices. Whether you choose Mega or Uno, it depends on the specific needs of the project you are building.
Arduino Nano "board", As the name suggests, is only about a third the size and weight of Uno. If your project has the size and weight requirements that make Uno unsuitable, the Nano is a good choice.
Check out the below tutorial where we made our hands dirty with Digispark Hacking Tool. Support for the Arduino IDE 1. This chip is useful in devices such as cell phones, mobiles, and electronic devices. Arduino Compatible boards with Wireless connectivity are useful for Wi-Fi-based internet development functionality utilizing devices. It weighs only grams and hence suitable for use in handheld devices.
This board is compatible with MicroPython , Arduino, nodemcu. You can easily use this platform to build your own IoT eco system and connected networks without having a fuzz about hardware design and complcated coding. This board will take you skills to another level and will jumpstart your Internet of Things Development by letting you focus on the software part.
The generic chip is suitable for Arduino Compatible boards with Wireless connectivity and has a provision for connecting to the PCB antenna.
It is very lightweight at 60 grams. You can simply make this projects using a NodeMCU, some relays, and a breadboard. Check out the below post. Kind of like open source software, except they are sharing the electrical design files instead of the actual code. So what this means is that there are tons of other companies that have taken the exact same design of the Arduino UNO and simply cloned it.
And in fact, in most cases, these clones are fully Arduino compatible. Well, you could check out a company called TinyCircuits , they make super small Arduino boards. The code you write on one board can be transferred to tons of different boards, usually with no changes or very minor changes to the code.
So should you buy an Arduino from the Arduino company, or should you buy a clone? Does it matter? Well the Arduino you buy from Arduino. It makes more sense to kind of gradually getting stuff built up.
But if all you bought was an Arduino board and no sensors or output devices to play with, it can be not quite as exciting. This is the kind of cable that you use to hook a printer up to your computer. The next must-have accessory is an Arduino kit.
Oftentimes the buying of the individual components cost more anyway, so it can save you some time and a little bit of cash. One way to pick a kit is to ask yourself, what kind of project do you have in mind?
Maybe you can find a kit that already has some of the items that you need in the project anyway. I know trying to find specific components that you know will work with Arduino, can sometimes be just a little bit intimidating. You use a solderless breadboard to make temporary electrical connections with different components. And these are mostly for building simple circuits to kind of play around with. Chances are all those things I just mentioned are gonna be part of a good Arduino kit.
Now an alternative to buying a kit with a bunch of different components is to buy an Arduino shield that has a bunch of components built into it. This is probably the best option for people who are maybe already into electronics, kind of familiar with simple circuits, and would rather focus on learning how to program the Arduino. There are companies that make similar kind of shields. You can check out DrDuino, they make a really cool shield also. It can really be a ton of fun, and extremely satisfying to have programmed and built something yourself.
If you wanna jumpstart your Arduino programming skills, then you should check out the YouTube channel Here. We offer many free step-by-step training courses to get you started programming Arduino. Entry Level Get started with Arduino using Entry Level products: easy to use and ready to power your first creative projects. These boards and modules are the best to start learning and tinkering with electronics and coding.
The StarterKit includes a book with 15 tutorials that will walk you through the basics up to complex projects. For reference when placing the Arduino on a breadboard or a project, we labeled the pins with a sticker!
The name says it all on this one. This comes in handy when you want the functionality of a basic board but need to save some space. Once that is taken care of, you'll be all set to tackle your next project!
Have you ever wanted a RedBoard that could fit in your pocket protector? Well fret no more! The RedStick has many of the same features you're used to with ATmega boards, now in fun size!
In we developed the BadgerStick as a fun and interactive way for people to learn about soldering and engage with SparkFu…. The onboard boost converter allows the board to be powered with an input range between 2 to 6 volts. The RedBot Mainboard is meant for simple, fast development for robotic controls.
It is an all in one board that includes an XBee header, pre-programmed Optiboot Uno bootloader, numerous pins for sensor integration, TBFNG dual DC motor driver, power switch, and a motor disable switch so that pesky robot doesn't keep trying to run off while you're tinkering.
While designed specifically for the Magician and Shadow chassis, the servo and sensor capabilities can be applied to many robotic projects. The RedBot is a motor driver…. Pin-wise it comes with two 1x3 female header for motors, four 2x3 male headers for servos, and two 2x3 male headers sensor ports.
Because the board is a motor driver-Arduino combo with all these headers and connectors, the need to stack multiple shields is eliminated while customization is increased. If you're working on a project and want to record the temperature or measure the weight of a static load, then the OpenScale is the perfect board for you.
Designed for data collection, the OpenScale utilizes screw terminals to connect to temperature sensors and load cells. The SparkFun OpenScale is a simple-to-use, open source solution for measuring weight and temperature. It has the ability to r…. When it comes to recording the data, you will have plenty of options. Another great benefit of the OpenScale is that it's open source.
The board comes with a bootloader compatible with the Arduino Uno, so get coding! The board includes a microSD card socket that handles up to 32GB to store all the serial data that your project generates for scientific or debugging purposes. The SparkFun OpenLog can store, or "log", huge amounts of serial data and act as a black box of sorts. The MicroView also has a full-featured Arduino library to make programming the module easy.
The MicroView is the first chip-sized Arduino compatible module that lets you see what your Arduino is thinking using a built…. The list could go on and on. If you see a board with that recurring, six-pin, serial header, and an ATmega doing all of the processing, its specifications probably aren't all that different from an Arduino Pro.
Aside from the additional USB support, the 32U4 is largely similar to the These ATmega32U4 boards often have the benefit of being cheaper than the ATmegabased boards -- there's one less costly IC to put on there. On the downside, they can be less reliable, and more difficult to use. Differences between the Leonardo and the Uno? The driver installation process is also a bit more involved -- sometimes it can take a little extra fidgeting to get the board installed on your computer.
Just as the Pro Mini took the guts of the Arduino Uno and shrunk them down, the Pro Micro works as a miniature version of the Leonardo. Unlike the Pro Mini, the Pro Micro doesn't require an external board to upload a sketch -- the 32U4 takes care of everything! Here at SparkFun, we refuse to leave 'good enough' alone.
That's why we're adding to our line-up of Arduino-compatible microc…. Pro Micros are among the more complicated Arduino boards to get up and running. There are extra steps required to enable them in your Arduino environment, and a misstep can at least temporarily "brick" the Pro Micro. There are plenty of other riffs on the Leonardo design as well.
Not only is it small and LiPo-ready, it's a ve…. The board was designed by Quin at the age of 14 and manufactured at SparkFun. The Qduino Mini is a tiny, Arduino-compatible board with a battery connector and charger built-in as well as a fuel gauge tha…. Then there is the Bare Conductive touch board.
Basically it is a Arduino Leonardo designed to turn almost any material or surface into a sensor. The board comes with a built-in capacitive touch sensor, a MP3 decoder IC, microSD card socket, and LiPo charge IC to create light switches, musical instruments, custom interactive surfaces. The Touch Board from Bare Conductive is an easy-to-use Arduino Heart board that gives you the ability to turn almost any mate….
The e-textiles segment of the Arduino market is ruled by LilyPads. These are identifiable as unique purple, flowery-looking, circular boards. The pins on LilyPads are called "petals", they have bigger holes and copper filled to the edge of the board. These are designed so conductive thread can be sewn through the holes, and make electrical contact with the exposed copper on the petal.
LilyPads are great for e-textiles -- projects which combine electronics and fabric wizardy. For a detailed explanation of these boards, check out this tutorial. Need some extra "beef" in your Arduino?
That's where Arduino's like the Mega or the Due come into the picture. The Arduino Mega is what you might get if you packed four Arduino Uno's into one board. That's a whole lot of extra LEDs! Instead of one hardware serial port, there are four. And the Mega sports a whopping kB of flash program space. Not to mention 16 analog inputs, and 14 PWM outputs. The Mega just has more of everything.
Aside from the massive processor overhaul, the Mega still shares a lot in common with the Arduino Uno. It runs at the same speed -- 16 MHz. All of the pins are broken out in a way that keeps the board shield-compatible. Because of these similarities, the Mega is a good option for Arduino beginners and experts alike. You thought the Mega was powerful?
