Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about microcontrollers
What is the difference between the UNO and the Nano?
Both use the ATmega328P and are programmed the same way. The UNO is larger and shield-compatible, the Nano is compact and breadboard-friendly.
Can I program the boards with the Arduino IDE?
Yes. Funduino boards are Arduino-compatible and are selected in the Arduino IDE just like an original UNO or Nano.
Which microcontroller is best for beginners?
To get started, we recommend the UNO R3, as it can be connected directly to jumper wires and shields without any soldering.
My computer doesn’t recognize the board – what should I do?
In most cases, the right USB-to-serial driver is missing. After installing it, the board appears as a COM port in the Arduino IDE.
Are the boards suitable for school lessons?
Yes. The UNO and Nano are widely used in STEM lessons, inexpensive and well documented thanks to numerous guides.
