Review on 🐞 Beetle: The Compact Microcontroller for Arduino by Jason Camarillo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Dual spacer pins

Serves my purpose but more than I expected. I should have looked more closely at the specs. I'm not sure why they doubled the spacing between the pins. That blew my mind. 7 pins on the edge instead of 4 could eliminate the need for pads on the bottom of the board and allow for a more convenient layout.

Pros
  • It comes with Atmel's AtMega32u4 (datasheet) clocked at 16MHz and has an extended interface count of 10 digital pins, 5 analog pins and 4 Pwn pins.
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
