Arduino UNO’s Available in Nelson, BC

Arduino UNO’s R3 are available from the NTC – save the cost of shipping when buying through the club. We also carry the individual ATmega328 chips preloaded with the Arduino bootloader to embed in your projects.

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 (datasheet). It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
