Arduino - Controller Boards - Mega, Duemilanove, BBB and LilyPad

Arduino Controller Boards

The arduino boards come in a number of varieties.

Arduino Mega - This is the latest and greatest 2009 model Arduino controller board. It has more power, memory and inputs/ouputs than any other Arduino board.

Arduino Duemilanove - This is the latest revision of the basic Arduino USB board. It connects to the computer with a standard USB cable and contains everything else you need to program and use the board.

Freetronics - TwentyTen - An Arduino Dumilanove compatible board with some great updates, an included cable and getting started factsheet.

BBB Kit - This is a Bare Bones kit that is Arduino compatible that requires assembly. It requires an FTDI breakout for programming.

Arduino Pro - This board is designed for advanced users who want to leave a board embedded in a project: it's cheaper than a Duemilanove and easily powered by a battery. It requires an FTDI breakout for programming.

Arduino Pro Mini - Just like the pro but in a smaller package.
