Meet the Nano: the perfect entry-level microcontroller board that's both affordable and versatile. Featuring the ATmega328P and CH340 chips, the Nano operates just like the Arduino Nano but at a fraction of the cost. It's an excellent choice for beginners and is fully compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Powering your Nano is a breeze. It can run via a Micro USB connection, a 6-12V unregulated external power supply, or a 5V regulated external power supply. Plus, it automatically switches to the best power source available, so you don’t have to worry about jumpers!
With 14 digital I/O pins, 6 analog inputs, a 16MHz quartz oscillator, and various connectivity options, the Nano is perfect for your projects. Breadboard-friendly and easy to connect, it’s designed to make your DIY journey enjoyable and smooth.
