The Arduino Uno R3 is the most popular Arduino board and an ideal starting point for learning electronics and programming. Built around the ATmega328 microcontroller, it offers a robust platform for prototyping, interactive projects, and connecting to sensors, actuators, and other hardware.

The R3 revision features an ATmega16U2 USB controller (replacing the earlier 8U2/FTDI), enabling faster transfer rates, more memory, and native USB device emulation — allowing the board to appear as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, or other HID device. Additional SDA/SCL pins and an IOREF pin improve shield compatibility.

Key Features

  • ATmega328 Microcontroller – 32KB flash memory, 2KB SRAM, 1KB EEPROM
  • 14 Digital I/O Pins – 6 of which provide PWM output
  • 6 Analogue Inputs – For reading sensors and variable signals
  • 16 MHz Clock Speed – Reliable performance for most projects
  • ATmega16U2 USB Controller – Faster uploads and native USB HID support
  • Input Voltage – 7–12V recommended (6–20V limits)
  • SDA/SCL Pins – Dedicated I2C header pins alongside AREF
  • IOREF Pin – Allows shields to automatically adapt to board voltage
  • No Drivers Required – Plug-and-play on Linux and macOS; Windows drivers included with the Arduino IDE

Ideal For

  • Beginners learning electronics and programming
  • Prototyping interactive projects and IoT devices
  • Robotics, home automation, and sensor-based applications
  • Educational use in schools and universities
