The Arduino Uno microcontroller module, designed and assembled in Italy, is the brain of our popular Shield-Bot educational robots. We offer it here as a replenishment item for our related kits. Our tutorial for the Shield-Bot robot, "Robotics with the Board of Education Shield for Arduino" and its assesment material have been certified as California A-G curriculum (see the Additional Resources tab below). In addition, we offer Arduino code for many Parallax sensors and accessories.
Arduino Uno Features:
- Fits the Parallax Board of Education Shield
- Based on the ATmega328P
- 14 GPIO (6 PWM capable) and 6 analog inputs -see Details tab below for more
- Programmable via Windows, Mac, and Chromebook*
Program the Shield-Bot with Arduino IDE on Windows & Mac; Arduino Web Editor and Codebender are both options for Chromebook.
