Lots of external Arduino Links
A very popular, AVR development board; uses the AVR so also see: AVR Links All the tools are free, you need the chip, a cable, and possibly a power supply. Software is free, chip programs via a bootloader, so no hardware programmer is needed ( unless you blow the bootloader ). May be the cheapest/easiest microcontroller for beginners. Popular with the technical artistic types ( googel DorkBot for more info on this type of person ). Most boards are set up to take plug in boards called "Shields" which add additional hardware to the base Arduino.
Key words to help you search the table.
- Projects: project descriptions, enough to reproduce the project, not just nice pictures
- Links: a link to more links.
- Info: Useful information that does not rise to a tutorial, misc. tips.
- Forum: for a forum, mail list and their ilk.
- Servo: for servo motors.
- Stepper: for stepper motors.
- Supply: for the boards and parts
- Shield: this are add on boards for adding functionality.
- Tutorial: a tutorial or how to.
- WebRing: for a Web Ring.
So, for example, if you are looking for projects then search on "Projects".
(Please make suggestions on how to split this big page into smaller pages at Talk:Arduino Links.)

It connects to the computer with a standard USB cable and contains everything else you need to program and use the board. It can be extended with a variety of shields: custom daughter-boards with specific features. Alas, it is not directly breadboard-compatible. |
|
Arduino Nano | "a ... breadboard-friendly board ... It has more or less the same functionality of the Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different package. ... works with a Mini-B USB cable". Available from Micro4you Studio as well as the usual Arduino distributors. |

- Teensy USB Development Board: plugs into a solderless development board; ATMEGA32U4 and AT90USB1286 versions. very low cost. "How Does Teensy Compare With The Arduino Board?": the biggest difference is that Teensy uses direct native USB communication, so (a) Teensy communicates *much* faster than Arduino (12 MBit/sec vs 38.4 kbps), and (b) Teensy can be programmed to act like a USB mouse or a USB keyboard. paul's blog often talks about Teensy. feurig's blog claims that the Teensy is *better* than "any other arduino or arduino clone" for systems that need to constantly communicate with a host PC over USB (as opposed to systems that normally run stand-alone without any host PC).
