Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Mini Nano V3.0 ATmega328P Microcontroller Board with USB Cable - Ideal for Arduino Projects and Programming by Brian Manfre

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good, reliable, hard to kill board!

I was wondering whether to buy a real Nano board or get a fake one for my first Arduino project, but I'm glad I finally decided on this one. I even fried the board for the first 15 minutes by turning the input pin HIGH and smoke was coming out of the little thing. I thought about ordering a new one, but looking from the back I saw that one of the capacitors near the USB connector had burned out, so I just closed the contacts with a soldering iron, and boom, the board was up fully functional online again! It's absolutely worth the money and I'm so glad I didn't pay a steep price for the original board. The next step for me is to get either a PCB or a Terminal IO Shield.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Not reliable
