All about Arduino

What is Arduino?

Arduino is the global leader in open-source hardware & software. The company offers a range of software tools, hardware platforms and documentation. Arduino is the ideal tool to get acquainted with technology, interactive art, IoT and more. Unlike other programming languages, Arduino is easy to learn. Thanks to the many available manuals, you can be guided as a beginner. Everyone starts with the "Blink" project. Here you make an LED light blink. But before you know it, you are able to convert information from sensors into data or actions. Take for example an autonomously driving robot. You place a sensor that detects objects, as soon as there is an object the Arduino knows what to do with it. Depending on the code, the robot will turn around or drive around the object. This is just one of the many possibilities with Arduino. There are countless projects online that you can copy. Or become an inventor and come up with your own project!

Most Popular Arduino Products

The Arduino range continues to expand. Each board is different. This is nice because you can then choose the most suitable board for your project. The Arduino Uno is by far the most popular board. Almost everyone who starts with Arduino will start with the Uno. After a while you may want to make much larger projects. You will then probably upgrade to an Arduino Mega. Do you want to make a very small project where there is no room for a large board? Then a Nano is a much better choice. Are you planning to use the Arduino boards for business? Then the MKR series may be more suitable. If you are going to start with Arduino, we recommend a starter kit. A starter kit contains everything you need to get started. Starter kits usually come with an Arduino Uno .

More about Arduino

Which Arduino boards are there and what can you do with them?

Over the years, Arduino has released all sorts of different boards. But which one is the best fit for your project? What functions does this specific Arduino have? And what are the differences? For answers to these questions, we would like to refer you to our information page . This information page explains what each Arduino is and what you can do with it. The new Arduino Nano is also highlighted on this page.

Original Arduino vs Clone

If you've been looking around the internet a bit, you might have noticed. You see an Arduino online and then you see the same Arduino for half the price. How is that possible?

If you find an Arduino with a very low price, there is a big chance that it is a fake. But how else can you tell? Do you want to know how to distinguish an original Arduino from a clone? Then take a look at our information page . Here the differences between the original and the clone are clearly explained.

It is useful to know how to make this distinction. Buying unofficial products is punishable, you can get a fine for this.

A new Nano family!

The new Nano is a small, powerful and affordable solution for everyday projects. The new Board s are compatible with the classic Arduino Board s . All new Nano Board s have low power consumption. They are also equipped with powerful processors. Arduino has managed to maintain the quality and reliability. The family consists of 4 different boards.

Arduino Nano Every. perfect for everyday projects.
Arduino Nano 33 IoT. Small, secure & connected to the internet.
Arduino Nano 33 BLE. small, low power consumption & connect via Bluetooth.
Arduino Nano BLE Sense. Small, low power consumption, connectable via Bluetooth & with a wide range of sensors built in.
