Arduino® Boards for Makers
Our AVR 8-bit MCUs and 32-bit Arm-based MCUs power a variety of Arduino’s easy-to-use boards including:

Arduino UNO
The reference standard in the Arduino development environment, the Arduino UNO is usually the entry point into the Arduino ecosystem. It is supported by thousands of examples, projects and tutorials on the web. The board’s form factor, now in its third major revision, is known throughout the Maker community as Arduino Shield R3. The Arduino UNO is based on our ATmega328P microcontroller (MCU), which is one of the most popular MCUs in the Maker/DIY space.

Arduino Micro
This board is a small-form-factor board that is based on the ATmega32u4 instead of the ATmega328P. The ATmega32u4 is in the same family at the ATmega328P, but also features a USB 2.0 low/full speed USB interface on chip. This board is supported by a large number of examples and projects in the Arduino environment.

Arduino Nano
This board is essentially a clone of the Arduino UNO in a small DIP-like package similar to the Arduino Micro. Like the UNO, the Nano is based on the ATmega328P and provides an external USB serial bridge chip that is located on the bottom side of the board. This board, along with the Arduino Mini, is a very popular choice for wearables projects because of its small size.

Arduino Nano Every
This board is the latest update to the popular Nano footprint. It uses the ATmega4809 MCU, which provides more Flash and RAM memory plus an improved power supply at a more economical price.

Arduino Mega 2560
This board is the largest ATmega-based Arduino platform. For projects running out of program space and GPIO pins, the Mega 2560 is the end of the line for the 8-bit MCU-based Arduino family. Because the 100-pin ATmega2560 MCU offers so many I/O pins, a new Shield format was introduced to support it. The ATmega2560 provides 256 KB of program memory, 8 KB of RAM and multiple copies of basic peripheral interfaces such as UART, SPI and I2C channels. The Arduino Mega 2560 continues to be one
of the base processor platforms for many 3D printers because of the large number of GPIO pins available.

Arduino MKR 1000
This board is the first MKR-based form factor board introduced by Arduino. The MKR format is similar to, but not the same as the Nano, Micro and Mini footprints of the smaller Mega platforms. Its smaller form factor is suitable for wearable projects and more Pro Maker projects that require a more robust and compact form factor. The Arduino MKR 1000 is based on the SAMW25 Wi-Fi SOC, an FCC-certified module that combines the SAMD21G18 MCU with the WINC1500 low-power 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi controller. The module also includes an ATECC508A CryptoAuthentication IC which supports AWS for secure connectivity to the Amazon cloud.

Arduino MKR Zero
This board is the MKR footprint-based version of the Arduino Zero with some extra connections to take advantage of the I2S digital audio interface. The micro SD socket allows digital audio files to be stored externally in standard MS-DOS file system formats. This is a very popular platform for audio-based wearables.

Arduino MKR WAN 1300
Based on the SAM D21 MCU, the Arduino MKR WAN 1300 combines the Arduino Zero base processor with a LoRa module.
