Arduino Micro Development Board with Headers [A000053] Review

Nice board after I got it working and it looks like the original. However, it didn't come with the Arduino bootloader and I had to install it myself. I paid over three times as much (for a real fee) to save myself the hassle of bogus drivers, but it took me two hours to figure out what the problem was and install the bootloader on it.

I was working on a prosthetic arm and bought this product to program my arm to move. He could do his job. However, I won't recommend it if you're trying to use it for a project that requires more processing power and speed. The product is about as long as an index finger, which I really like as it doesn't take up much space. When I bought it, it didn't come with a micro USB cable. As a result, I had to order one, which is another downside. Because it's so tiny, there's not a lot of I/O for a…

General: This little breadboard nugget is great! I cut my teeth on an Arduino UNO. Now I'm ready to create a useful project that performs keyboard emulation. This board fits perfectly in a breadboard with the connectors attached. Once the circuit works properly I will solder it to the breadboard. Usage: I had already downloaded the Arduino development software to my Windows XP laptop. When I connected the Micro for the first time, the computer automatically recognized the Micro and installed…

Connect, program and reproduce your circuits easily with the Arduino system. The program is very easy to use. If you have a smart kid who is interested in electronics (how things work, how they work) and computer programming then this is a great way to help them get there. There's a whole world of free information and software out there on the Internet. Just type in "Arduino" and you'll see what I mean. Be sure to purchase the correct USB cable either with the card or separately. While you're…

Returned the first board I bought after I had Computer, Arduino IDE settings, USB cables (in the past I have used all these cables to connect devices used) and tried loopback tests. Couldn't get my computer to recognize the device at all. I sent the board back and ordered two more to be on the safe side. New boards have arrived and I had the same problem with both. Device manager didn't find them, Arduino IDE couldn't see them after a few days of trying. Finally I rummaged through every corner…

I am a happy Uno user. I was interested in using the Micro as it integrates well with the breadboard. The first micro I ordered was connected to USB and I booted the Arduino IDE (1.8.10). I opened the Blink sketch, selected the Micro model, but I couldn't select the port. It turned out that the bootloader is either missing or distorted. I spent several hours burning the bootloader onto the Micro before the device turned out to be locked. Okay, I thought it was a coincidence. I'll send the…
