Arduino Nano Pinout (Tutorial)
In this post I want to talk about the Arduino Nano: pinout, wiring diagram and programming.
What is an Arduino Nano?
Arduino Nano is the smallest, typical microcontroller board based on ATmega328P microcontroller made by Atmel. Arduino Nano board dimension is 18 x 45 mm.
Where is the board used?
Nowadays Arduino Nano board is used in thousands of various projects, from everyday robotic arm projects to extremely complex scientific instruments, automation electronic projects, embedded systems, and more.
It is also suitable for projects where a wireless connection is not required. The board can be easily used not only by the professionals and experts, but hobbyists, students, novices and people with initial technical background. [Read more…] about Arduino Nano Pinout (Tutorial)
