Arduino

The Arduino UNO is a development board which features the ATmega328P microcontroller (MCU). It is a perfect introduction to electronics and coding. The UNO also demonstrates the basics on sensors and actuators.
The UNO is the ideal, entry-level board for those who are new to developing on the Arduino platform. It’s a popular board as it is really robust when it comes to tinkering. For those more experienced, it’s still the perfect board for rapid prototyping.

How simple is it?

Very. The board contains everything it needs to support the ATmega328P MCU. Just connect it to PC via USB cable or connect it to an AC-to-DC battery.
The Arduino Software (IDE) is there to help but the UNO is a sturdy board. You can tinker to your heart’s content without having to worry too much about breaking it. And, if something does go wrong, you can always replace the chip.
There is also a community surrounding Arduino which is there with lots of support. So, if you’re ever stuck, just reach out for help. There is also tonnes of resource to help inspire you with your next project. https://www.arduino.cc/

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.

Note

USB Cable and battery are not included.

Arduino Uno Development Boards

Here at RS we have 3 versions of the Arduino Uno Development Board:
715-4081 Revision 3 for DIP package types
769-7409 Revision 3 for SMD package types
847-4897 Revision 3 with long pins for DIP package types
The Uno board is used to develop the AVR ATmega 328 microcontroller and can be powered by either connecting the board to a computer via a USB cable or with an AC to DC adaptor.

FAQs

Can I use hardware compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 with the Arduino UNO R4 Minima?

Yes, the Arduino UNO R4 Minima was specifically designed to ensure compatibility with previous shields and compatible hardware developed for the Arduino UNO R3. The UNO R4 Minima maintains the same mechanical and electrical compatibility, allowing you to seamlessly use your existing shields and hardware with the new board. This makes it easy to upgrade to the UNO R4 Minima without the need for significant changes or adaptations to your projects.

Can I use my sketch developed for the UNO R3 in the UNO R4 Minima?

Yes, if your sketch was developed using the Arduino API. In case you are using instructions only available for the AVR architecture, some changes need to be made to ensure compatibility.

Are all libraries compatible with the UNO R3 also compatible with the UNO R4 Minima?

No, some UNO R3 libraries use instructions of the AVR architecture that are not compatible with the architecture of the UNO R4 Minima, however there are libraries that have already been ported as part of our early adopters program or are based on the Arduino API.

Meet the only connected RP2040 board. It fits the Arduino Nano form factor, making it a small board with BIG features.

The brain of the board is the Raspberry Pi RP2040 silicon; a dual-core Arm Cortex M0 running at 133MHz. It has 264KB of SRAM, and the 16MB of flash memory is off-chip to give you extra storage.

But what’s really exciting is the on-board connectivity options. The hugely popular and highly adaptable u-blox NINA-W102 radio module is on there to make this a true IoT champion. This also means you can harness the power of the cloud, with fully Arduino Cloud compatibility.

It’s got on-board, built-in sensors to turn your builds into powerhouse projects, too. Microphone and motion sensing add a depth of possibilities that’s almost impossible to find in a board of this size.

The Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect is the premium choice for RP2040 devices, and the perfect option for upgrading your projects and unlocking the potential of new ones.
