Arduino Uno REV3 [A000066] - ATmega328P Microcontroller, 16MHz, 14 Digital I/O Pins, 6 Analog Inputs, 32KB Flash, USB Connectivity, Compatible with Arduino IDE for DIY Projects and Prototyping

I love this little machine. You can use it for a range of different tasks, from simple light blinks to complex timed sequences. While I haven't had the equipment to make elaborate projects with it so far, many people have used it to improve their everyday life, such as using it as an automatic plant waterer or pairing it with an RC522 Module to use it as an RFID door lock. The arduino itself is very easy to setup and use, as there are many useful videos online which give you tutorials on how to get started, and the actual Arduino IDE is incredibly beginner-friendly and even runs on Operating Systems such as Ubuntu and Kali (which can't be said for other IDEs...)! It is a bit annoying that the REV3 uses a slightly outdated USB for its power and data, but it's not too much of a bother. The pins on the Arduino are very easy to use and the actual Arduino is presented beautifully. As I said, I haven't gotten to the point of doing very difficult tasks with it, but it has worked nearly flawlessly for the stuff that I have done with it. It has a decent chunk of memory for tasks and runs pretty damn fast. Overall, this is a great computer-ette which boasts a very beginner-friendly community and software, and is very nice to use.

I’ve been using the Arduino Uno for a while, and I think it’s fair to review it now. Here we go: Why I Love It: 1) Super Easy to Get Started – I was up and running in no time, even as a beginner. The Arduino IDE is simple, and there are endless (literally!) tutorials to follow online. 2) Huge Community Support – Anytime I hit a roadblock, I found a solution online. The community is massive, and that makes troubleshooting way easier. 3) Endless Possibilities – I’ve built everything from simple LED animations to a real-time dashboard for sensor readings. The fact that you can combine hardware and software so effortlessly is what makes this so exciting. A Few Downsides: 1) No Built-in WiFi or Bluetooth – I had to get extra modules for that, but honestly, at this price, I can't complain. 2) Limited Memory – It’s great for small to mid-sized projects, but if you're doing something complex with a ton of data, you might need a bigger board like the Arduino Mega. Final Thoughts: If you're into DIY, electronics, coding, or just love building stuff, the Arduino Uno is a must-have. And if you pair it with Processing (free GUI gui software) , like I did, you can build some seriously cool projects. Highly recommend!

Very easy to use microcontroller that is compatible with almost every component in electronics. This is essentially a mini computer with very open capabilities in terms of what u can create with this. It's made out of strong materials so it won't just break randomly if you drop it and for the price it is great. If you choose to add LCD 16x2's which display stuff, the quality is really good and you can read the content off of them very clearly.

I would give it 5 stars, but the box mine came in had clearly been tampered with. The board was fine and nothing was missing, but I would expect better from Amazon. This board is a fantastic choice for beginners, as it includes lots of pins and most beginner tutorials use it. There are also some full kits available that include the board along with a collection of electronic components (resistors, capacitors, cables, sensors, segment displays, and so on), and most of them include a project book and everything you need besides a PC, so that's another choice for the beginner (I would imagine children would enjoy playing and learning with that). On top of that, there are a bunch of expansion boards available designed for the Arduino Uno, so you might want to look into that. Please be aware that there are smaller and larger Arduino boards available. This is a good starter board, but I have been using Arduino Nanos (about four quid on Ebay) that are just as easy to use, but smaller and far cheaper, meaning that I can break them without too much worry. I would avoid the Digispark boards - they are kinda dodgy in my experience, require special software, and apparently they can break easily.

Needed something for some hardware projects and decided to get an arduino as they're very user friendly and fun to use.

If you are reading this review, chances are you might know what an 'Arduino' board is intended to do. But just in case you do not - it's a tiny 'embedded' computer. The sort of thing you might find in a prize-winning maze running robot, or a walking robot, or a fabricator machine, or a smart GPS, or (in my case) a musical instrument. It's called 'embedded' because the computer is part of the machine, rather than sitting on a desk top (or lap top). Often there is no display other than a few blinking lights - sometimes a small LCD, or more rarely a full-on computer monitor. That's because the pins on the Arduino's processor are mostly I/O lines (Input/Output) and they are typically used to scan push buttons or sensors, or something on a daughter-board (called an Arduino 'shield') that has something else on it. My favourite shield has a Ronin 802 musical instrument synthesiser on it. Then the outputs are used to flash an LED, or play music, or pretty much anything that electronics can do. The important thing to remember with the Arduino is that it is easy to use. I just hooked up the USB lead, downloaded & installed the free software (which comes with demo examples) configured it to talk to an Arduino Uno (this model) and loaded the first 'sketch' (Arduino name for a program) from the examples, starting with the one called 'blink' (pretty easy to read and understand), and clicked on the upload icon. Bingo! The LED on the Arduino was blinking, once every second. Blinking is not a really big deal. But it's great for helping any newcomer to Arduino code understand what it does, and how. Rather than read a gazillion books, I was just tweaking the example code (blinking slower, eg) at first. It's pretty easy to pick up - I only started on it in January this year, and this is our third Arduino..... Yes, it's habit-forming. But if you like puzzles, puzzling out code design and then making something all your own is a truly wonderful feeling. And there are now thousands of 'sketches' free to download to make it do all sorts of things from music synthesis to an electric spider.... Have a look on You-Tube! It's an Arduino, it's wonderful, and at under 20 quid I recommend it to anyone who's curious, or who has a curious child around.

Unlike some customers I received what I expected - a genuine Arduino UNO R3 made in italy. Proper little box with some notes and stickers but no USB lead. However (this note added 26-3-14) I notice that the price has halved and the supplier changed - so beware, you may not be getting a genuine "made in Italy" UNO but a copy - this may be OK as long as you are aware. The Arduino is a great micro-controller to experiment with. I'm using it in a little project with a clock (DS3231 RTC) and barometric sensor (BMP085) to run a 4 line by 20 character LCD that displays time, day of the week, date, year, temperature and atmospheric pressure. It works perfectly, I've had no problems at all, programming it with V1.0.5 of the IDE on a PC. As with most Arduino related products there is a wealth of helpful information online. A 5 star product.

The Arduino Uno is a great tool for learning how to use microcontrollers. It isn't the fastest or the most capable, but it's simplicity, versatility and ease of use is what sets it apart. The provided software is filled with loads of free examples and well documented code libraries. The build quality is solid, and the socketed processor makes it really easy to replace. Would definitely recommend to a beginner who wants to get into elecrronics projects!
