The Arduino Uno with USB Type-C is a new version of the original Uno board for today‘s connectivity options. Still powered by the ATmega328P microcontroller, with 14 digital I/O pins (6 with PWM), 6 analogue inputs, communication via UART, SPI, and I2C, and the same 16 MHz crystal oscillator. The new model relies on USB Type-C technology, which is reversible and small enough to be carried in your pockets, similar to the way it is being adopted across so many devices these days. Type-C Uno is for learners, makers, and professionals developing smart automation, sensors, robots, and IoT applications using up-to-date hardware standards without losing compatibility with the existing Arduino shields or code.

Key Features:

• ATmega328P SMD Microcontroller: Trusty 8-bit chip at 16 MHz for robust performance.
• USB-Type-C Interface: Simple, modern connection for programming and powering your board.
• 14 Digital I/O Pins: These allow you to control everything from LEDs to motors, with 6 pins offering PWM for more precise control.
• 6 Analogue Input Pins: Perfect for reading sensor data and other analogue signals.
• 32KB Flash Memory: Plenty of room to store your code and projects.
• Flexible Power Options: Power it through USB-Type-C or with an external 7- 12V in

Applications:

• Smart Devices & IoT: Create internet-enabled devices or just automate your home.
• Robotics Projects: Perfect for sensor control, motor control, and whatever else a robot would need.
• Learning & Education: A great way of gaining hands-on experience with electronics and software.
• Prototyping: Rapid design and testing of new ideas and concepts.
• Home Automation: It can add intelligent capabilities to your home, such as monitoring lights or security systems.

Getting Started:

1. Install the Arduino IDE: Download the latest one from the Arduino website.
2. Power Up: Power and program via the USB-Type-C port, or externally powered from an external 7- 12V power supply.
3. Upload Code: Create and upload your projects via the easy-to-use Arduino IDE.
4. Install Drivers (if needed): If your PC does not recognise the board, you may have to install the CH340 driver to enable smooth communication.
