Arduino Board Comparison

número hard renal krill here I got a buying guide for you today help you figure out which Arduino to buy and how much they cost and what to use them for first up here we get a duty spark kickstarter tiny 85 this is a great little board I really like this board a lot I use it all the time don't necessarily recommend it if it's your first time using Arduino because it's got a little bunch of quirks to it but it's very good for small projects and projects like wearables and things that you need the smallest board possible doesn't have a lot of i/o pins on it so you're going to only be able to hook up a few buttons and a few outputs to it here's the chip it runs off of it's an 89 85 you can actually program these and use these and save some money once you get it a little bit better but it's a good it's a good chip pretty common up next is the Arduino Leonardo there's a pro on the Left it's $3.75 and the standard one on the right they're the same board except that you can't really fit shield onto these I don't necessarily recommend these for very beginning projects either because these are really specialized for human interface devices like simulating a mouse or keyboard or a joystick something like that they've got some issues when dealing with serial communications and they don't have built-in USB hardware so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it here the standard it's the same thing it can just take shield you see it also uses a micro USB port on it to program it but it's a good board up next is the 18 mega 328p base boards these are going to be your Arduino Nano your adrenal pro and then just be micro controllers themselves I'm just showing you for reference you can see in the bottom of this board as a second chip that's for Hardware USB that's one of the reasons why I recommend these boards and then you can see it's got the 328 PE on top this is definitely the best board for most projects she'll do not fit on this but you can solder pins on to it and this will plug into breadboard for prototyping which is really nice and you can applaud shield into that so you can still figure out a way to get a shield to work with it here's the dual inline package just showing off the microcontroller unit they come in a lot of different shapes and sizes which we call packages here's a dip package the dual inline pin because it spins on the left and right so there this is a t QFP package this is for more advanced users that foresaw it's going to be difficult to work with with hand tools but these are all basically the same here's the pro mini this is another really great board that i recommend for most projects it's the same as the Nano it just doesn't have USB built into it so you're gonna have to program this with a USB of serial device there's a lot of those devices out there they're called like FTDI boards or USB or serial boards I show you one here in a moment right here basically this board just plugs in to any type of Arduino that does not have USB and you use this and then you plug that USB in your computer and that's how you program it once it's program you can disconnect it and run it these boards are nice once you have developed your software you can flash it onto these and save a little bit of room if you don't need USB Pro serial communications or USB programming because you've already got your program complete I definitely recommend these two for most projects in Arduino Uno it's actually a fake one I don't recommend buying this I just showing you this to show you that there is some garbage out there so you got to be careful it doesn't even have the proper micro controller on it so just avoid like strange things like that up next is the 18 mega 2560 they are also called the Arduino mega 2560 this uses a another 8-bit microcontroller but it's bigger because it has a lot more features to it it's got a lot more flash space programs got a lot more RAM a lot more input/output pins so you can hook up a whole bunch more buttons in LEDs and motors and things like that it's got more timers on it this one on the left is the pro one it's a little bit cheaper it's like 13 bucks but you're going to need to use that FTDI board again to program it and it's a little harder to work with this one is a real nice one this one's pretty common also this one's a larger it has all the pins you need to plug shields in it also has built-in hardware USB so works for all sorts of USB modes the only issue is is that the USB plug on the front is kind of big so you're going to make sure you need to have a printer cable so that plugs into that but again yet it has all the pins for shield your some bonus hardware these are non standard Arduino boards but they're becoming more and more compatible they're based off the esp8266 these are great microcontrollers the only differences is the memory the flash memory is stored off to the side so you can customize how much flash memory you want it to have but you do have to keep in mind that it's separate however when you're programming with Arduino you don't really notice your the great features they have built-in Wi-Fi they're also pretty cheap for what you get there around two dollars depending which module you get and they are very powerful 32-bit they're clocked at a very high speed you know 70 megahertz or so 72 megahertz so these are definitely going to be much faster here's another 32-bit board stm32 this is also clocked pretty high and for the price you get a lot of stuff you know it's fast it's got a lot of flash storage a lot of RAM compared to what you get with a lot of controllers so hopefully these are the ways of things we'll be moving towards in the future and again this one you have to program with the FTDI board so hopefully this helped you out and let me know if you have any questions below and I'll try and answer them alright thanks a lot
