Background Information
Arduino UNO is well known to be the most popular Arduino board. These are the main reasons why the Arduino UNO is so popular:
- It evolves from the first Arduino boards, which have been around since 2004.
- It is a matured board/product as many have contributed to the ecosystem, the library, and the examples.
- There are many examples of projects using Arduino UNO as a controller.
- Shields are designed based on the Arduino UNO mechanically, electronic, and libraries
Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements processing/wiring language. The Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer.
This board is fully compatible with Arduino UNO R3. The changes that you might notice are the CH340 driver, which you can download and install from here: Windows, Mac OS, Linux (pre-installed).
