arduino uno or arduino nano+ Arduino Nano IO Expansion Shie

Post by berlusconi »

I'd like to start with arduino, what is better clone? I'm talking about arduino chinese compatible boards you can purchase on ebay. Arduino uno compatible is near 8$, the combo arduino nano+ Arduino Nano IO Expansion Shield is half the price of one.

In our experience, the quality of the clone boards is variable. Some clones work fine. Others don't work so well. And if you get a bad one, many of the sellers offer no support. There are quite a few low-cost Arduino compatibles from reputable manufacturers also.

The Diavolino from EMSL is one of the good ones: http://shop.evilmadscientist.com/produc ... itlist/180
