Tindie Weblog | Arduino Mini Restricted Version Protect

To rejoice the astonishing milestone of 10 million produced boards the intelligent people at Arduino launched a restricted version miniature model of the evergreen Arduino UNO. The complete-size UNO is the de-facto normal traditional Arduino board that many individuals minimize their tooth on — until you’re outdated like me and got here in on the Duemilanove! Every of the fantastically crafted individually numbered Mini UNO Restricted Editions comes with a letter from the Arduino founders. Nevertheless, as a mini model, what do you do when you really need to use it in a venture? The Arduino Uno Mini Restricted Version PCB Protect could also be precisely what you’re in search of.

There’s a house for a StemmaQT 4-pin connector and a footprint for a JST PH 2-pin connector for an influence enter. The Arduino Mini Restricted editions shrinks the common UNO dimension by utilizing 1.27mm header spacings for the IO pins and, in fact, these are additionally discovered on the PCB protect.

You’ll want so as to add the connector elements and header pins individually as this venture is provided as PCB solely. It’s an effective way of placing your UNO mini to make use of with out having to solder to or make different everlasting adjustments to your collectable Arduino board.
