Product overview
An Arduino UNO–compatible board with a built-in perfboard
This is an Arduino UNO R3–compatible board with a perfboard area.
You can solder components directly onto the perfboard area, which makes it perfect for building your own projects.
The surface is gold-plated, so it has good wettability and is easy to solder.
Of course, you can also use it as a regular Arduino.
A safe power circuit on board
Compared to the original Arduino UNO, it has a safer power circuit.
Even if you use an AC adapter and the USB connector at the same time, it won’t damage your PC.
For details, see the build blog.
USB Type-C on board
Unlike the original Arduino, the USB connector uses Type-C.
It uses a through-hole (DIP) type connector, so it’s hard to snap off and more durable.
The perfboard area is gold-plated.
Compared to the Arduino UNO, the 3.3V output can supply more current (~1A).
About the driver
If the board isn’t recognized when you connect it over USB, the driver may not be installed on your PC.
Please install the CH340E driver from the website below.
CH341SER.EXE – Nanjing Qinheng Microelectronics Co., Ltd.
(If it works without installing the driver, there’s no need to install it.)
