Review on πŸ”§ Longruner for ArduinoIDE Mini V3.0 ATmega328P 5V 16M Micro Controller Board Module for ArduinoIDE - Set of 3 by Shawn Jacobs

This is a great product. First of all

Excellent product. First, it came quickly, which isn't always the case with Amazon. I ordered it for 2 days delivery and it arrived in the morning of the second day. The packaging was good, the Arduinos are individually wrapped in an electrical shield. It's always annoying when sensitive electronics arrive without static protection. Then everything was packed in a sturdy box. Please note that you will need a mini cable to access these Arduinos. It's basically a cable used to connect (among other things) to an old PlayStation 3 controller. I've seen some people need help with a Chinese USB to serial converter driver. It seems they were able to fix it by googling the driver for ch340/341 and downloading it. I was able to run it normally with the latest version of Arduino ide. However, I had to toggle the COM port option in the Arduino ide settings. As you can see from the enlarged image, the board is supplied unassembled. I'm not a soldering expert but I assembled it in 10 minutes. Best of all I can directly solder cables for my smaller profile projects. It's hard to see how small these things are. Overall this is a great product at an amazing price. This is particularly useful for projects where you need lightweight components (e.g. RC airplanes) or small form factors (e.g. wearables). Also, they're great for experimenting because you're basically buying them in bulk, so you don't have to worry about burning them or having to pull them out of old designs.
