Arduino is fast becoming one of the most popular microcontrollers used in robotics.There are many different types of Arduino microcontrollers which differ not only in design and features, but also in size and processing capabilities. In this article, you’ll understand the differences between the
Great writeup. Just a note, the Arduino Pro, Pro Mini, and Bluetooth actually use the ATMega328 in their most current revisions. The ATMega168 is pretty dated at this point and isn’t seen too often in newer hardware. Thanks for the comparison!
What is the comparison of the Arduino Micro R3 (by Adafruit) and the Arduino Uno? Please clarify. Arduino Uno is ideal, but the form factor is too large for fitting. I wanted to see whether I should choose between the Arduino Micro, Nano, or Pro Mini. I’m not familiar with any of the smaller boards, but a sketch similar to the Uno would be helpful.
@Justeen Faltriguera That’s hard to do in a reply to a blog post, so if you can create a new topic on the RobotShop forum we’ll be able to better list the comparison.
@Taver Yes you can. For example, using the servo library with an Uno board makes however many of the digital pins to RC PWM compatible. The question becomes what sends the signal(s) to the Arduino.
