Which Arduino?

Post by RH_Az »

I am following a project I found on youtube. The guy uses an Arduino Nano but he said an Uno works too. The project requires the use of an LCD Shield, a momentary push button, a light sensor and a few other small things.

Which uno should I get? Every Arduino on the adafruit store is discontinued. I don't need to use any of the buttons on the shield (as far as I know) it only uses the momentary push button. I just need something that is 16x2 shield compatible and takes 5v power input.

There's really only one "UNO" but clones are made by various manufacturers at various levels of quality (the joys of opensource hardware). If you want to by an Adafruit product, that'd be the Metro328: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2488. It is UNO compatible. If the project requires an *Arduino UNO*, this is probably your best choice.
