Which is the best arduino board for a beginner?

To begin with between the UNO and the Leonardo

Which is the best arduino board for a beginner?

Also there are a number of different types of Arduino boards aimed for different users.

The following is a list of some of the more common official Arduino boards you can buy currently.

These are the most current versions of the boards.

Therefore it is advised not to go for second-hand Arduinos, as you don’t know what condition they are in.

And it may also be an older version which will be more difficult to set up.

Arduino Uno – The Arduino Uno is one of the most popular Arduino boards

The Arduino Uno is the most common board most people buy when they are starting out.

Also it is a good all-purpose board that has enough features for a beginner to get started with.

It uses the ATmega328 chip as the controller and can be powered directly from USB, battery or via an AC-to-DC adapter.

If using an adapter, a 9v or 12v wall-wart is recommended.

Any more than this and you risk overheating the voltage regulator.

And any less and you may get less that 5 volts from the 5v pin.

The board operates at 5v throughout, i.e. digital pins output or read 5v, and analog pins read in the range 0-5v.

Batteries can be useful but they can also drain pretty quickly with constant use.

The Uno features

The Uno features 14 digital input/output pins, and 6 of these can be used as pulse width modulation (PWM) outputs.

It features 6 analog inputs as well as RX/TX (serial data) pins.

The analog pins have a resolution of 10 bits, which means you get 1024 different values when you read them.

This is quite a high resolution, and is about 10 times more accurate than MIDI.

Each pin can draw a maximum of 40mA current.
