Arduino Nano Every Setup and Testing

as promised we're going to take a look at the arduino nano every versus the arduino nano i think it's v3 and we'll get the nano ready to run hey what's happening guys today we are going to get this arduino nano every which is the latest nano board from arduino up and running in the ide but we're also going to take a look at the standard v3 nano and kind of uh compare and contrast them and to make that a little bit easier i went ahead and got this information here so if we look the regular nano uses the atmega328 the every uses the atmega4809 they're both abr architecture they both run on 5 volts the regular nano has 32 kilobytes of flash memory the nano every i'm just going to call it the every has 48k the nano has 2k of sram the every has 6k nano runs at 16 megahertz the nano runs at 20. they each have eight analog end pins the eeprom on the nano is one kilobyte look at that it is 256 kilobytes that's a huge difference on the every now here's one where the nano can hold more is in dc current on the i o pins 40 milliamps versus 20 milliamps now on input voltage they both need a minimum of seven volts i need you can run them on five this one will go up to 21 volts uh the they're ping compatible they each have 22 pins pwm output on the nano is uh six different pins on the every s5 power consumption we haven't tested it on the uh ever yet we will and pcb size they are exactly the same now here's something i really don't like about the every there are no pin numbers on the top of the board they are printed on the bottom which makes them somewhat difficult to read there's also a difference in the connector which i do like it uses the micro usb as opposed to the mini usb so let's go and set this up in the arduino ide and get it ready to roll all right to set up the arduino nano every in the arduino ide and i'm using version 1.8.9 it says we need to go to tools and then board boards manager and we need to add this one in here the mega avr board so let's do that okay it wants to install a driver we can trust arduino so we'll let that roll through here and see what happens all right all said and done that took about two minutes to complete we will close that and i'm going to plug in the uh the every it says the windows should recognize it and install the device driver we'll see what happens all right so it found it says it's on com19 so if we go to tools board there it is the nano every tools port com19 and we will open up the basics of the basics we'll open up blink there's blink and you can see down here arduino nano every on com19 we will send it to the every and we'll see what happens it looks like it's about done compiling it is now updating so this done cannot locate flash and boot memories hmm i can't quite tell if it did it because blink was already installed on here so here's what i'm going to do i'm going to change the timing here we'll make this turn on for a half a second and off for a second we'll recompile that and see what happens hmm honestly i still can't tell and here comes the train all right so now i'm gonna go on for a half second and off for two seconds actually give me enough of a switch to be able to tell what's happening here upload it yes it is now working so i don't know what this error down here is angry about but it is working all right let's try something else all right so if we take a look at this here you can see the different ports on the board and it says it is 100 pin compatible with the nano so we're going to find that out here's a nano running a simple sketch uh these leds are connected to the pins two three and four okay and that's all they're doing is turn it on turn it off turn it on turn it off so we'll pull out this nano breadboard is a little tight and we'll put in the nano every and we'll plug it in then i'm going to hop on over to the computer and we will compile that same program for the nano every all right so it is compiling right now and it is uploading and it's done uploading hmm now you see pin number four is not coming on right now let's hop over to the computer for a second okay so one of the things that said in the documentation that we can do here is we can have turn on the register emulation which is already on and it's not working so let's turn it off and then we will re-upload that code and we'll see what happens this might take a minute no we're not uploading and hmm nothing two three four two three four two two three three four four okay so the next thing we do is we check the continuity on that pin all right let's see if we got continuity between our pins yes so we have continuity between there and the led yes hmm let's swap back in the old nana these lovely cheap-ass chinese breadboards they're so much fun all right so that's working i guess the next thing we need to figure out is there's a pin problem so that pin d4 one two three four five six seven pins from the end one two three four five six seven this pin my thumb is under can you tell what the hell it says all right so one two three four five six seven did i do that wrong yes one two three four five six seven i can't read what it says but it looks like yeah d4 so just make sure got them lined up properly that one with the white mark is the ground all right okay that uh confuses the heck out of me now it seems to be working just fine must have just been a bad connection crazy i i still wish it said what the pins were on top of here but that is the arduino nano every it is 13 from amazon now that may seem like a lot but an actual arduino nano not a chinese knockoff but an actual arduino nano is 19.90 so the new nano is actually quite a bit less expensive and you can generally get better specs but again i hate the fact that they haven't printed what the pins are on top the board that's just me what do you think let me know in the comments down below all right we are at 93 300 subscribers when we get to 100 000 subscribers another thing i'll be giving away is an arduino nano every so if you haven't subscribed yet please subscribe all right that's it i'm out peace you
