OVERVIEW
Larger than the original UNO board, this microcontroller has more flash memory, SRAM, EEPROM and I/O pins. This board is perfect for projects that require a lot of inputs/outputs or that require more complex programs that cannot fit into the smaller memory of the ATmega328P. New in R3 is added SCL/SDA pins next to AREF header and also added IOREF pin to power header. Built on the ‘open-source electronics prototyping platform’, and compatible with existing Arduino software lilbraries.HIGHLIGHTS
