🔌 Emakefun Nano V3.0 ATmega328P 5V 16M Micro-Controller Board with USB Cable - Soldered 5pcs Review

I use a lot of nano in my projects, so I know a bit about this topic. I ordered 10 (2 sets of 5) from this seller and received them quickly (as expected from Revain). The first set of 5 programs with no problems, but the second set doesn't accept the program over the USB port (using the Arduino IDE). I returned and received another set of 5 which basically had the same problem but this time I had a little more time to work with them and I broke my old AVR programming board and figured out how…

They are listed as "Arduino Nano" but are not. The chipset does not meet the official Nano specifications. Because of this, you may need to install special drivers on the host computer to load your sketches. It worked fine for me on my old MacBook Pro with macOS High Sierra after installing the serial driver mentioned in the description. Installation was easy but seems a little lazy. I wonder what will happen in a year when I upgrade to the next version of macOS. Hopefully Apple will officially

They are marked 'Nano' but are actually Pro Mini which means they won't work if you don't select the correct board when uploading. Thanks to the other reviewers. here who discovered it and posted it here. Only tried one out of five so far which didn't work at all until I installed the IDE on the Pro Mini. Now it works fine but what a headache to fix. Probably would have returned it if other people hadn't posted the tip here.

They are made in China and come with a counterfeit FTDI chip, so not only will they not work with your Arduino bootloader, but Windows will not immediately recognize them. There are workarounds and I eventually got it working, but it took me about an hour to find the correct driver and updates. They do not work right out of the box. So if you don't like being a driver detective, you can avoid them. If you're savvy with the internet, they shouldn't be a problem.

This is Nano for sure and Amtel MEGA328P for sure. However, note that they use the CH340 serial converter, so you will need to purchase these drivers separately. It took me a little time to understand that. Definitely not a showstopper. The only point of criticism is the soldering of the pin guides. Looks like they were made by someone who can't solder. It will take a little longer to get it right if you have to get it right. For that they get 4 stars. They got what I needed quickly and it was…
