My favorite boards for Arduino / small electronics projects

The board is a little cheaper than buying original Arduino boards, but you get the quality and reputation of a USA made product. I have successfully used Arduino Uno clones from eBay, but now prefer these colorful Sparkfun boards. They work great every time. The board and ecosystem built by Sparkfun is a lot of fun. I really appreciate that the USB connection is smaller so I don't have any issues with connected screens.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • No insurance

Try to buy it in "sparkfun electronics " online store

is good, so the board I received didn't work properly. I don't know if it's a fake board or what but bottom line is I have a broken board and now I have to return it if I can

Pros
  • . Worth the money
Cons
  • The speed of

Ideal for Windows 8.1 64-bit

If you have Windows 8 you should buy the Arduino Uno R3 as it comes with drivers installed. If you've ever had trouble getting an Arduino Uno or clone to work with Windows 8.1, 64bit, you'll see what I mean.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

The LEDs are incredibly bright.

Great as a replacement for the Arduino Uno. The only thing I don't like is that the LEDs on the board are bright. So bright that I can't look at them directly.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Nice markings on the board, really like the mini USB

I'm using this as a secondary Arduino Uno, no software difference as far as I can tell. The reset button is in a good place and all the pins that use PWM are well labeled. Take a picture before placing the screen on top as the markings are not printed on the back of the board for reference. The mini USB is great because it doesn't interfere with the shielding like a full size USB on a standard Arduino. Additionally, Mini-USB is much stronger and stronger (four SMD solder pads hold the case inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubt
