Review on 5Pcs Longruner Arduino Mini Nano V3.0 ATmega328P Micro Controller Board Module With USB Cable For ArduinoIDE by Robert Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is a great product. First of all

This is a great product. First of all, it arrived promptly, which is not always the case with amazon. I ordered it for 2 day shipping and it arrived in the morning of the second day. The packaging was good, Arduinos individually wrapped in electro-protective coating. Its always annoying when sensitive electronics arrive without static protection.These were all then boxed in a sturdy cardboard box.Note that you will need a mini cable to access these Arduinos. This is basically the cable used to connect to the old playstation 3 controller (among other things). I have seen that some people needed help with the Chinese usb to serial converter driver. It seems they were able to fix it by googling the driver for ch340/341 and downloading it. I was able to run it fine from the most recent version of Arduino ide. I did however have to switch the com port option in the Arduino ide settings.As you can see from the unwrapped picture, the board comes unassembled. I am no master solder-smith, but it only took me like 10 minutes to get it assembled. Best of all, I can directly solder cables in for my smaller-profile projects. Its hard to get over how small these things are.Over-all, this is a great product at an amazing price. It is especially useful for projects where you need light-weight components (like rc aircraft) or you need small form factors (like wearables). Also, these are great for experimenting as you are basically buying them in bulk, so you dont have to worry about burning some out, or having to pull them out of old constructions.

Pros
  • The onboard voltage regulator ensures stable and consistent electrical performance, minimizing project downtime or malfunctions
Cons
  • The product may not have enough onboard storage, leading to issues with data management
