Arduino AVR Development Boards

We have a range of Arduino boards at RS that feature an AVR ATmega microcontroller at the core. Most of the boards feature the 32u4 microcontroller with the Mega boards featuring the ATmega 2560 and the Uno/Nano boards featuring the ATmega328 microcontroller. These Arduino boards are designed to be used with Arduino IDE programming software.

Arduino Nano 3.0 Board with ATmega328

The Arduino Nano 3.0 is a compact board featuring the ATmega328 microcontroller. It’s a complete, bread-board friendly development board which measures just 45 x 18 mm.

What’s different about the Arduino Nano?

Obviously its size makes the Arduino Nano stand out from the family. However it holds much of the same functionality of comparable boards. The main difference is lack of DC power jack and it works with a Mini-B USB cable, rather than a standard USB.

What’s on board?

ATmega328 MCU
22 x digital I/O pins (6 can be used as PWM outputs)
8 x Analogue inputs
16MHz crystal oscillator
1 x Mini-B USB

Operating voltage: 5V
FLASH memory: 32KB
SRAM: 2KB
EEPROM: 1KB
Dimensions: 45 x 18 mm

What is Arduino?

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform consisting of hardware and software. Every aspect is designed to be straightforward so you can learn to code or design a project, quickly and easily. It’s designed for students, programmers, designers, hobbyists and tinkerers.
The Arduino open-source software (IDE) is there to help too. It makes is much easier to write code and transfer it to your board.

The Arduino Community

The Arduino Project Book is there to help but there is also a huge community surrounding Arduino. So, if you are ever stuck or require some guidance with your projects, the Arduino site is full of content to keep you going. Or, if you find you are stuck for ideas to tinker about with, there’s plenty of projects on the site to give you some inspiration: http://labs.arduino.org/
