Review on πŸ”‹ Unleash Your Creativity with Arduino Nano Every - Single Board Powerhouse by Micky Lovett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's nano on steroids.

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 50% more program memory (48K vs 32 KB ) and 200% more RAM (6 KB vs 2 KB). Yes I know I got it from the side. Just because they can design decent devices doesn't mean they're good at math. The ATMega4809 runs at 20MHz and the ATMega328P at 16MHz. The IDE went to the Arduino website and downloaded the correct board and USB port when I plugged in the first one. the boards have obviously already memorized the Blink exercise program. Uploaded the sketch with no problems. (I'm using a Mac, you computer sausages yourself) After compiling the code from the IDE there is a warning "avrdude: jtagmkII_initialize(): Cannot find 'flash' and 'boot' memory in the description" but it doesn't. does not affect compilation or download. The header pins are not attached to the board. This is stated on the website but not in the sellers' advertisements. Uses a Micro-B USB cable instead of the Mini-B used in the standard Nano. It is not included. The boards aren't even in anti-static bags, they just sit in boxes. The boxes have an official silver NFL or NASCAR decal for all Arduino snobs.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Worries me
