1. Arduino UNO R4 WiFi

The Arduino UNO R4 boards feature a powerful 32-bit microcontroller that offers more processing power and memory while maintaining the standard UNO form factor and 5V operating voltage. They are an excellent option for both beginners and experienced electronics enthusiasts looking to push the boundaries of their projects. While retaining the familiar features of the UNO family, the UNO R4 boards provide a 32-bit architecture and exciting new capabilities for makers.

The Arduino UNO R4 boards are equipped with a powerful 32-bit microcontroller from Renesas, which offers increased processing power, memory, and on-board peripherals. Importantly, these enhancements do not compromise compatibility with existing shields and accessories, nor do they require changes to the standard form factor or the 5V operating voltage. With its robust design and reliable performance, the UNO R4 is a valuable addition to the Arduino ecosystem. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced electronics enthusiasts who want to expand the limits of their projects.

The UNO R4 has the same pin layout and 5V operating voltage as its predecessor, the Arduino UNO R3. This means that existing shields and projects can be easily ported to the new board. The UNO R4 features several exciting new peripherals, including a 12-bit DAC, CAN BUS, OP AMP, and SWD port. These additions broaden the possibilities for developers and enable more advanced projects.

With more memory (16x) and a faster clock speed (3x), the UNO R4 can perform more precise calculations and handle more complex projects. This allows developers to create even more demanding and sophisticated projects.

3. Arduino Mega 2560 Rev. 3

The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560 with a clock speed of 16 MHz. It features 54 digital input and output pins, 16 analog inputs, four serial interfaces, and a USB connection. The necessary components for programming and operating the microcontroller are included on the board. Simply connect the board to your PC and develop exciting applications. Power can be supplied via USB, an external power supply, or batteries. Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform that is based on easy-to-use hardware and software. The goal of this platform is to enable artists, designers, hobbyists, and other enthusiasts to create interactive objects. Sensors and microcontrollers are used to make analog inputs available to software applications and/or to control electromechanical devices such as motors, servos, LEDs, or other hardware. 

4. Arduino Uno Rev3

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. The board contains everything necessary to develop with this microcontroller. It can easily be connected to a PC via USB cable or powered by an external power supply or battery and get started. Arduino Uno differs from all its predecessors in that it does not use a USB/serial converter chip from FTDI. Instead, it uses an ATmega16U2 programmed as a USB/serial converter. The Arduino Uno has 14 digital I/O pins (6 of which can be used as PWM output) and 6 analog inputs. It also has a 16 MHz crystal, USB connector, external power supply socket, ICSP header and a reset button.

6. Arduino Sensor Kit Base

In this kit, you will learn how to connect and program basic Grove modules that include both sensors and actuators. Grove is an open-source, modular, and ready-to-use toolkit that follows a building block approach for assembling electronics. This kit includes a base shield to which the various Grove modules can be connected individually or together in different combinations to create fun and exciting projects. All modules use a Grove connector, which connects each component to the base shield in just a few seconds. The base shield can then be mounted on an Arduino UNO board and programmed with the Arduino IDE. Instructions for connecting and programming the various modules are also included in this kit. It features a base shield that fits onto an Arduino UNO board and is equipped with 16 slot connectors that provide functionality to different pins when placed on the UNO. 

7. Arduino Nano Every

The Nano Every is Arduino's 5V compatible board in the smallest available form factor: 45x18mm.

The Arduino Nano is the preferred board for many projects that require
a small and easy-to-use microcontroller board. Its compact size and low price make the Nano Every particularly suitable for portable inventions, cost-effective robotics, electronic musical instruments, and general use to control smaller parts of a larger project.

The Arduino Nano Every is an evolution of the traditional Arduino Nano board and features a much more powerful processor, the ATMega4809. This allows you to create larger programs than with the Arduino Uno, as it has 50% more program memory and 200% more RAM.

If you have used the Arduino Nano in your projects in the past, the Nano Every is a pin-equivalent replacement. Your code will continue to work, and you won’t need to rewire the motors you planned in your original design. The main differences are a better processor and a micro-USB port.

The board is available in two variants: with or without headers, allowing you to embed the Nano Every into any type of invention, including wearables. The board features mosaic-like connections and no components on the B-side. These characteristics enable you to solder the board directly onto your own design, minimizing the height of your entire prototype.
