Arduino Nano Every (Single Board) [ABX00028-A] – ATmega4809, 48KB Flash, 6KB SRAM, 20 Digital I/O, 8 Analog Inputs, Micro USB Type-B, Compatible with Arduino IDE for Embedded Projects

First of all, I would like to note that Nano Every is an excellent choice for those who want to start exploring the world of Arduino and microcontroller programming.One of the key advantages of this board is its versatility. Nano Every is suitable for a wide variety of projects – from simple devices to complex systems. Due to its compact size and easy connection it is ideal for prototyping.The manufacturing quality of the board is at a high level. All components are neatly arranged on the board.The software part, Arduino IDE, is a convenient and easy-to-use tool for creating and debugging programs. Due to this, the learning and development process becomes more comfortable and efficient.Overall, I am very pleased with my choice and recommend the Arduino Nano Every to anyone who wants to explore the world of Arduino and learn how to program microcontrollers.

The media could not be loaded. Bought this to control an iron man helmet cosplay project, came next day, well packaged. I'm no soldering expert, and this took the abuse I gave it with a soldering iron with no issues, managed to upload code to it from the internet and it worked!Have it powered by a USB external power supply and the Arduino has two servos, two led's and a push button switch hooked up to it.*Note, I had to close my 3d printer software to free up the port for the Arduino software to recognise the Arduino

Excellent bit of kit. Good functionality and great value. Works beautifully with the Arduino IDE, as you would expect. Up and running in minutes.

I used this board to program a functional cosplay helmet I made . Works great.

Doesn't work with many libraries.Had to contact Ladyada to adjust one of them to work with this board.Was hoping for replacement of fake pro micros.

I bought an Every 3-pack direct from Arduino in Italy, but I'm reviewing here in case it helps any prospective buyers.Arduino say the Every is "an Improved Arduino Nano [...] a pin-equivalent substitute. Your code will still work, and you will NOT need to re-wire those motors you planned in your original design. The main differences are: a better processor, and a micro-USB connector" but that's definitely economical with the truth. Yes, there's more memory, better power flexibility and a neater micro USB instead of the Nano's mini, but ... and it's a big but ... it's NOT a drop-in replacement (even with ATMEGA328 compatibility mode enabled) for some or even many projects that uses 3rd party libraries.The problems I had were:1) Support for the board isn't built in to the current desktop Arduino IDE (though is for the web version), so has to be downloaded and installed using the board manager. A minor and easily solved issue, but a possible hurdle for a beginner.2) Also minor, but baffling - the pin IDs are all on the (now flat and component-free) UNDERSIDE of the board. Why?! It's trivial, but unnecessary and annoying if you want to install the headers and use it in a breadboard, as the IDs are all hidden underneath!3) The biggest show-stopper for me, and no doubt very many others, is that I've used a Nano to drive WS2812B addressable RGB LEDS using the excellent FASTLED library, but that doesn't yet support the Every, so any sketch using FASTLED just won't compile. I gather this isn't simply a pin mapping issue, but is a result of the Every using a different processor, the ATMEGA4809. That means many third-party libraries such as FASTLED, especially if they're time-critical or use assembler, will probably need a complete re-write. Sadly the developer of FASTLED, Dan Garcia, died in a tragic accident last year, which has of course delayed plans to add 4809 support (though the use of FASTLED in probably thousands of projects around the world is of course a lasting tribute to him).So in conclusion, though the Every is undoubtedly an improvement in some respects, I would NOT recommend it over the Nano until it's more widely supported. After all, there's no point in having lots more flash and RAM if your sketch won't even compile!Even minor changes such as labelling the pins on the top of the board and adding support to the IDE "out-of-the-box" would help, but I really don't think it should have been released until they'd helped developers ensure that most 3rd party libraries, at least the widely used ones like FASTLED, worked with it. It would have been far better to just re-engineer the original Nano with a micro-USB and perhaps topside components, and ideally dropped the price to that of the Every, because at the moment I can't see the Every competing with the many cheap Nano clones available.
