Arduino Microcontroller Main Boards

Microcontrollers that support the Arduino framework come in an incredibly diverse range of form factors and abilities. Most Arduino Projects will start with an Arduino Uno - due to its low cost and ease of use. It has built in header strips which allow easy connection  to the pins of the processor. Typically, once you become more proficient or once you have a particular enclosure or project in mind, then its normal to move onto one of the more specialised boards. That could be a lilypad Arduino, which has been designed from the ground up to be used with e-textiles (or cosplay), or perhaps the Arduino Pro Mini, which houses a power house microcontroller in a form factor that would fit into a matchbox! Because there are now just so many different boards, we have put together this table, which lists all the Arduino based boards we have in stock and the key features of each.
