Review on πŸ”§ FTCBlock Pro Micro ATmega32U4 Module Board for Arduino Leonardo: 5V/16MHz, PIN Header, ATmega328 Pro Mini Replacement - Pack of 3 by David Elam

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice Arduino Pro Micro clone.

Nice clone of Arduino Pro Micro by FTCblock. The board comes in an electrostatic bag along with two rows of pins that you can solder or not. . The Arduino Pro Micro requires a micro USB cable to power/program the board, which is not included here. Any Micro USB cable that can transfer data will work (e.g. an Android OTG cable). The micro USB socket on the board provides a strong, reliable and secure wired connection unlike many other cheap Arduino clones. additional drivers or special configuration settings. The built-in LEDs for this board differ from many other Arduinos. The RX LED is pin 17 and the TX LED is pin 30. Loading "Blink" onto the board (after changing the LED pin definition) confirmed the functionality of the board. I've included photos of the Pro Micro alongside the Nano to show how tiny this board really is - SMALL. Everything works great, a good deal on FTCblock's excellent Arduino Pro Micro clone. Highly recommended 5 stars.

Pros
  • Not only useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • ill thought out
