Best arduino for beginners - Raspberry Pi Forums


i thinking of buying arduino hands on experience, best model beginners? buying clones cheap, price not issue.
thnx

you need decide if you're going use shields.

if want use shields, uno basic model, leonardo has cleverer usb. on uno, usb communicating (programming, sending serial messages to-and-fro) on leonardo, arduino can pretend things usb keyboard or mouse. personally, i'd start uno, if wanted use shields.

however, don't pin layout on arduino - annoying gap in pins offends me every time. don't particularly want use shields, want use breadboard and/or own protoboard / stripboard.

if want use breadboard or protoboard, want regular 0.1" pin spacing. in case, recommend nano: small, built-in usb, sits nicely on breadboard (leaving of available circuiting). also, lots of cheap ones flooding out of china, if decide you'll buy clones. if clone , it's 1 ft232rl chip on bottom, have hardware bug need fix - see http://www.astounding.org.uk/ian/raspi- ... nofix.html . seem coming different usb chip on, though, , don't know that.

haven't tried recent arduino software on pi, last time tried (a couple of years ago) in ran quite happily after straightforward 'sudo apt-get install arduino'. however, i'd recommend doing apt-get first, downloading more recent software http://www.arduino.cc/ , using that. code , program arduinos machine , have them talking pi.

once got hang of that, can move on teensy - arduino-ish supercharged awseomeness. fewer clones, , wouldn't touch clone. see http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/teensy31.html awesome one, http://www.pjrc.com/store/teensylc.html cheap still more power arduino one.
