Arduino is an open-source platform that includes both hardware and software. The hardware of Arduino contains many programmable circuit boards as a microcontroller for connecting sensors or other modules to build up a project.  In terms of Arduino products, we provide many Arduino boards<\/a> such as Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega, etc. Besides, there are also many extend boards<\/a> based on the Arduino platform such as Seeeduino Boards<\/a>. There are many Arduino boards in the market. How to choose the right Arduino board for your next project? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s guide, we listed specifications including processor, operating voltage, input voltage, clock speed, digital I\/O, PWM, analog inputs, UART, Grove connectors, flash memory and USB connectors for 7 Arduino official boards, 13 Seeeduino boards and 5 MCUs. Hope this guide will help you quickly compare different Arduino boards and we will keep updating the guide for sure once we get new products released! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to be compatible with our Grove system<\/a>, we have also released many shields<\/a> for Arduino or Seeeduino which includes Grove interface to connect the boards and Grove modules easily without jump wires.
