BLACK FRIDAY SALES at the Arduino shop and the Arduino UNO Mini Limited Edition #makerdeals @arduino

BLACK FRIDAY SALES at the Arduino shop! –

The most popular Arduino products on sale!

Arduino also has pre-orders for a limited edition Arduino UNO.

The world’s favorite development board has gone mini. Everything in this version of the Arduino UNO is unique. Black and gold, finishing, elegant design and packaging, all delivered to the highest standard. A little jewel to celebrate the Arduino community and what we’ve been doing together for all these years.

Each item is unique and numbered on the PCB, and includes a hand-signed letter from the founders. It’s a limited edition, so get while it’s in stock!

Arduino UNO Mini Limited Edition is a collector’s item for serious Arduino Lovers: hobbyists, students, makers, reimaginers, dreamers, hopers, fans, engineers, designers, questioners, cake-makers, problem-solvers, puzzlers, gamers, debaters, developers, entrepreneurs, architects, future-shapers, musicians, scientists… 10 million projects based on (official) Uno boards that have contributed to this incredible story.

“Uno” means one in Italian and was chosen in 2010 to mark the release of the Arduino IDE 1.0 software, five years after the Arduino project was born.
With over 10 million official UNO boards running amazing projects around the world, the Arduino UNO has been the number one choice for makers for over a decade.

This limited edition celebrates our most iconic board, and all of the amazing projects that our community has created over the years. The UNO Mini LE functions exactly as the classic UNO, so it can very easily be used in any UNO projects.

The Arduino UNO Mini LE is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P (datasheet). It has 14 digital inputs/outputs (six of which can be used as PWM outputs), six analog inputs, a 16MHz ceramic resonator, a USB-C connector, and a reset button. Contains everything needed to support the microcontroller. Simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable, use a power adapter, or connect a battery to get started.

More here, and a blog post with a link to the article I wrote at Make: Magazine over 10 years ago (Feb 2011!) “Why Arduino Won and Why it’s Here to Stay”.

A lot has changed since then, and a lot has not. It’s probably time to do a “10 years later” article?

What are “Maker Deals” ? These are companies and people that do electronics, art, engineering, or just something interesting our team wants to spotlight using our Adafruit megaphone – these are not sponsored in any way, we do these each year and yah – some people will point out or dunk on us that we’re promoting our “competitors” but we do not see it that way. Post yours on social with #makerdeals or email’em to pt@adafruit.com , we’ll be posting all weekend through Monday. See last year’s “Welcome to #ADADEALS 2020 sales and more from maker companies that are NOT Adafruit” too … On Tuesday we’ll have our GivingTuesday stuff on the blog and socials.
