🔋 Unleash Your Creativity with Arduino Nano Every - Single Board Powerhouse Review

This small computer is well made. Has better current regulation than some clones. Used as a controller to convert a manual camera slider to a stepper motor slider. Fits easily in a small 3D printed enclosure with NEMA 17 motor and driver.

I have bought many fake Arduino Nanos and most of them I have no regrets. But those were the sensors of the FRC school robot. I didn't want to compromise on quality or deal with alternative USB drivers. They work as you would expect and I'm sure the quality is there.

These are genuine Arduino Nano Every boards in their original packaging. I've had several Arduinos and their clones since Diecimila, but this is the first one I've bought in the nano form factor. Nano is an apt name, the pictures don't really convey how incredibly small these boards are, you'll have no problem fitting them into almost anything you're working on.

This was my first Arduino project; I am very tech savvy, have been building computers etc for many years. This unit was easy to work with with no problems. However, judging by the product photos, one might think that the connections are soldered, but they are not. I suppose I was disappointed when it arrived with loose headlines. Not much but I wish it was clearer as I would probably save time ordering another board.

Nano Every = daily use. ATMega4809 primary chip with 20 or 16MHz and USB interface for SAMD11. It's functionally compatible with the old Nano aside from some nice tweaks. Two noticed; more output current on 3.3V pin and really good, TX and RX can be used without any problems. The only disappointment is that it has mounting holes but they are too small to use. Some new things to learn with it, how to program SAMD, change clocks and learn to use the 4809 for yourself.

Overall they're pretty good, I've ordered 24 and used them in a number of projects. I ran very small loads of 5V on the 5V pin, main relay or microphone sensor. Some even without anything on the 5V pin. I connected them across 12V on the Vin pin. Which is good within specification. Some of them turned out to be very, very hot, hot enough to burn. And the voltage regulator burns out. I just had one that wasn't hot, I just plugged it into a USB port and then the voltage regulator fried. I have a…

The on-board stabilizer is a switch (MPM3610 is a synchronous rectification module, a step-down converter with built-in power MOSFETs and a choke). Accepts an input voltage of up to 21 volts and delivers 5 volts up to amps according to its specification. If you want to supply external 5 volts (and not use USB) you can connect this external power supply to the 5 volt pin. When you do this, make sure the Vin pin is hovering. I connected both Vin and the 5 volt pins to an external 5 volt supply…

Arduino Nano Every - Sold in packs of 3 or 6, not individually by Arduino but I've seen them separately on eBay. It has to be someone who resells. This is NOT a nano. This is an evolution of the traditional Arduino Nano, their words not mine. It's the same size as the Nano with the same number of I/Os. The website says it only has 5 PWM pins since D11 is used for something else, but according to the pinout I still count 6. It uses an ATMega4809 processor instead of the standard ATMega328P with…
