Description of 🔴 SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic - Arduino-compatible Board with Qwiic Connector, CH340C Serial-USB Converter IC, Breadboardable R3 Footprint, and Enhanced Reset Button

ATmega328 microcontroller with Optiboot (UNO) Bootloader. Rev3 shield compatible. Program with a USB Micro-B cable using the Arduino IDE platform: Plug in the board, select “Arduino UNO” and you’re ready to upload code. Hardware peripherals you know and love: 20 Digital I/O pins with 6 PWM pins, 6 Analog Inputs, UART, SPI and external interrupts. Broken out the SDA, SCL and IOREF pins, so it will be compatible with future shields Power over USB or through the barrel jack 7 to 15VDC. The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.

Super easy in single board computers

Lots of good boot codes and tons of documentation available. Super easy to use and essentially an Arduino. Love it. Does exactly what I need. Simple and perfect. Love it.

Pros
  • single board computers
Cons
  • Expensive

Never installed properly

Spent all Sunday trying to get this to work but couldn't. Worked using Sparkfun's instructions on the product page. At first the interface reported nothing. The "Getting Started" guide then says that the FTDI drivers need to be installed, although I have another Arduino Uno (original item) that installs and works with no problems. The SparkFun website must have at least 3 different guides for installed FTDI drivers, none of which match the FTDI website. This didn't work either. I've spent hours

Pros
  • Computer components
Cons
  • Slightly dented
