Review on πŸ”§ ELEGOO UNO R3 Board ATmega328P USB Cable (Arduino-Compatible) Arduino by Tim Bunker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best "cheap " Arduino Uno clone I've found.

As there are many other more detailed reviews, I just want to highlight a few: This version has a 16U2 interface chip. No need to locate and install schematic CH340 drivers. In the programming environment it looks like a real UNO. It has a removable DIP package 328 processor. You may not need this, but it allows you to program your own chips and install them elsewhere. or you can replace it if you fry the processor. The pin headers have the pin assignment printed both on the outside and on the circuit board. Just like a real UNO and very comfortable. They just work. Unlike some of the super cheap boards that have a 50% success rate that I've bought and regretted. And they don't try to pass them off as "real" like some of them do. I think this is the best option when you buy a clone.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Quality
