![]() The "Arduino Nano" automatically senses and switches to the higher power supply, so there is no need for a power select jumper. The "Arduino Nano" has everything that the Diecimila has (electronically) with more analog input pins and an on-board +5V AREF jumper. So if you’re interested to hear more about the new family of Nano hardware, and mange to make it to the Faire tomorrow, you’ll probably hear more there.The DFRduino Nano USB Microcontroller V3.1 (ATMega 328) is a breadboard ready version of the " Arduino mini" with integrated USB. As is tradition, Banzi will be delivering a talk on “ The State of Arduino ” on the Faire’s Center Stage (in Zone 6) at 2pm on Saturday. If you want to take a look at the hardware the new boards will be on display this weekend at Maker Faire Bay Area in San Mateo at the Arduino booth. So expect to see volume discounts, and perhaps in the future a version without the onboard micro USB jack. They’re not really aimed not at makers, but smaller manufacturers who have prototyped using classic or MKR boards, and want to take their product to full scale production. These new Nano boards fit into a final gap, while they may be breadboard compatible, they’re intended to be surface mounted as modules. If you want the boards with headers, it will run you an additional $2.Īround this time last year, I confidently predicted a collapse in the number of Arduino form factors down to two-with the ‘classic’ Arduino Uno targeted at those wanting to prototype, and the newer MKR form factor at those trying to bridge the gap between prototype and product. Without headers the Arduino Nano Every will cost $9.90, the Nano 33 IoT will cost $18.00, the Nano 33 BLE will cost $19.00, and finally the Nano 33 BLE Sense will cost $29.50. The boards will be available both with and without headers. With prices from as low as $9.90 for the Nano Every, this family fills that gap in the Arduino range, providing makers with the Arduino quality they deserve for those everyday projects.” - Massimo Banzi, co-founder of ArduinoĪll four of the new boards in the Arduino Nano family will be available for pre-order on the Arduino Store starting today, with the Nano Every and Nano 33 IoT expected to ship in June, and the Nano 33 BLE and Nano BLE Sense expected to ship in July. “The new Nanos are for those millions of makers who love using the Arduino IDE for its simplicity and open source aspect, but just want a great value, small and powerful board they can trust for their compact projects. Whereas the new Nano Every is less than half the price of the classic Arduino, the Nano 33 BLE Sense is actually more expensive. Intended for environmental sensing, or human interface applications, the Nano 33 BLE Sense is what I call a ‘kitchen sink’ board, and has a price to match. The boards in the new Nano family aren’t really intended to stand alone by themselves - these are really meant to be surface mounted as modules.įinally then, similar in design to the Arduino Nano BLE, the new Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense is built around the same u-blox NINA B306 module, but comes with a much larger set of sensors in addition to the 9-axis IMU -sensors for pressure, humidity, temperature, and light -as well as a gesture sensor and embedded microphone. With its MKR form factor losing out to Adafruit’s Feather form factor in the battle to be community’s next default microcontroller board standard, this is Arduino deciding to throw their hat into the ring beside the ESP8266 and the ESP32-based modules. Which goes some way to explaining why Arduino has chosen to refresh its Nano line up. Not only is the new Nano breadboard-compatible, it can be soldered directly onto another PCB. However the big difference here is that, unlike the original Nano, the new Nano comes in a castellated form factor. ![]() Native Arduino library support will no doubt define how much adoption this new feature gets from the community. Yet while CIP support for the new board will no doubt be available in Microchip’s Atmel Studio or MPLAB X development environments, it’s not yet clear how support will be exposed in Arduino’s own native development environment. ![]() The ATmega4809 at the heart of the new Nano Every is the first AVR device to feature Microchip’s Core Independent Peripherals (CIP), and having this on the board is a perhaps a bigger deal than it appears on the surface. Unlike the original Arduino Nano which was powered by the 8-bit Microchip ATmega328P, the Arduino Nano Every is built around the much more powerful Microchip ATmega4809, with an Microchip Arm Cortex-M0+ processor for USB to serial communications also on board.
