Arduino UNO board


                      






Arduino UNO board

Product Description


The Arduino Uno Board is an open source electronics prototyping platform based on the ATmega328 microcontroller. It is equipped with 14 digital I/O pins, six of which can be used as PWM outputs, 6 analog inputs, 16MHz oscillator, USB interface, DC power jack and an ICSP header. Only the board is included and a USB cable is required to program.

This is the new Arduino Uno Board. In addition to all the features of the previous board, the Uno now uses an ATmega8U2 instead of the FTDI chip. This allows for faster transfer rates, no drivers needed for Linux or Mac (inf file for Windows is needed), and the ability to have the Uno show up as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.

Technical Details

  • ATmega 328 Microcontroller
  • 16Mhz Clock Speed
  • Input voltage - 7-12V
  • 14 Digital I/O Pins (6 PWM outputs)
  •  6 Analog Inputs
