ArduinoUno Rev3 SMD Microcontroller Board [A000073] – ATmega328P, 16MHz, 32KB Flash, USB & PWM Support, Ideal for DIY Projects, STEM Learning, Robotics, and Prototyping

UI use my R3 to build a remote compass so i could tell which way my rooftop antenna was pointing after our spring wind storms. Solid build quality and easy to use.

Clean cards for ID printing

I found the Arduino Uno to be a well crafted piece of equipment. The reason I got one was to create a pendulum like motor with a mini servo. Having never touched anything like this before, a few google searches led me to understand that this board could do exactly what I wanted. There is documentation galore. I found it to work well and my PC (Windows 7 Home Prem) found the driver immediately, which allowed me to get to work quickly. If you are looking at a product like this, then you probably have some idea what you want to do with this before getting it. As such I gave it a 5 out of 5 because it did exactly what I needed it to. I am sure there is tons of potential here for other bigger and better things to me created from this board. As far as basic programming goes the compiler and anything else worked quite well. I recommend this product to anyone that needs to create a "robot" in a very basic fashion, or to somebody just looking to experiment. The price is good and the potential is nearly infinite. Obviously people that are really into this might ask for different features, but that is what other versions of the Arduino are for.Pros:+ Price+ Simplicity+ Well-craftedCons:- None that I can give with my experience so far.Excellent little board that can fit many needs.

Worked like a champ for my project

works great

I didn’t know about Arduino when I bought my Raspberry Pi but I wish I did. The Arduino is so much easier to work with and better suited for the kinds of things I want to do. This is a fantastic little board and lots of fun to play with. And best of all, I didn’t get frustrated and put it away for two years like I did with the Raspberry Pi. For someone like me who just wants to “tinker” with simple little projects, this was just the ticket!

There are lots of cheap Arduino clones out there, and usually they work, but if you don't want to waste time wondering if the board is the source of your problems, buy the genuine Arduino. Good quality parts and assembly, and you support the company that developed the open source board and software.I got the SMD version because I'm not going to use the board to program processors, and the SMD looks cleaner.

I have used some Arduino Uno SMD microcontrollers as in sensor nodes in conjunction with an Arduino wifi rev2 and my wireless sensor network is very fluid and reliable, thanks to the translation of variables programmed on my Arduino Uno boards. Undoubtedly, an indispensable complement in the implementation of IoT projects.
