Arduino Uno R3 (CH340G)

The Arduino UNO R3 (Compatible with Arduino) is a microcontroller board that has become the quintessential tool for electronic hobbyists and professionals alike. It is based on the ATmega328P microcontroller and is equipped with an array of digital and analog input/output pins that provide a versatile platform for various electronic projects.

The UNO R3 version compatible with Arduino Development features the CH340G USB-to-serial converter, which is a cost-effective alternative to the traditional ATmega16U2 chip found in the official Arduino boards. This change makes the board more accessible while maintaining the functionality and reliability that users expect from the Arduino ecosystem.

Key Features of the Arduino UNO R3 Compatible Board:

• Microcontroller: ATmega328P
• Operating Voltage: 5V
• Input Voltage (recommended): 7-12V
• Digital I/O Pins: 14 (of which 6 provide PWM output)
• Analog Input Pins: 6
• DC Current per I/O Pin: 40 mA
• Flash Memory: 32 KB (ATmega328P) of which 0.5 KB used by bootloader
• SRAM: 2 KB (ATmega328P)
• EEPROM: 1 KB (ATmega328P)
• Clock Speed: 16 MHz
• USB-to-Serial Converter: CH340G

The board’s layout includes a power jack, an ICSP header, a reset button, and everything needed to support the microcontroller. Users can simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The CH340G chip ensures the board’s compatibility with various operating systems, although it is recommended to check for driver availability and compatibility, especially for Windows users.

For those looking to delve into the world of electronics or even for seasoned makers, the Arduino UNO R3 compatible board offers a reliable and flexible development platform. Its ease of use, combined with the extensive resources available in the Arduino community, makes it an excellent choice for projects ranging from simple LED displays to complex robotic controllers.

Whether you’re a student, hobbyist, or professional, the Arduino UNO R3 compatible board is a valuable addition to your toolkit, providing a balance between performance and affordability.
