More on Arduino Nano

Basic facts about Arduino Nano was discussed earlier. Arduino Nano is the smallest in the group with breadboard friendly design. It has pin headers which allow easy attachment on a breadboard and has a Mini-B USB connector. There are other versions known as Nano 33 IoT which has a WiFi module and Nano 33 BLE. IoT stands for Internet of Things, which facilitates communication between devices and the cloud, as well as between the IoT enabled devices. BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy.

Arduino Nano is based on ATmega328 microcontroller CPU that runs with a 16 MHz crystal oscillator and has 32 KB flash memory. It can be programmed using Arduino IDE, which can be downloaded from Arduino official website. The official website gives three options: Arduino IDE 2.0 for beginners and advanced users, Arduino IDE 1.8 which is the classic offline editor, and a Web Editor. Web based editor has cores and libraries pre-installed and is ideal for beginners and for those who have to keep their sketches saved securely in the cloud and synced across devices.
