And it’s much cheaper. It’s also about five times faster.

🟢 Reasons to choose this over an Arduino board (I mean Arduino boards with ATMega chips):

- 72MHz clock speed (much faster than the 16MHz Arduino)

- 20KB RAM, 64KB Flash (This may seem low compared to ESP and RP2040/2350 MCUs, but it’s sufficient even for large projects like FreeRTOS. Clones may vary)

- Programmable with the Arduino IDE and works seamlessly with most libraries

- Built-in USB support (the Micro USB port is directly connected to the chip, allowing it to be recognized as an HID device, etc.)

- More GPIO pins compared to Arduino

- 12-bit analog pins (ADC) (more precise than Arduino’s 10-bit ADC, and more stable than ESP32s, and more than RP2040/2350)

- Easy to use (installing the USB bootloader might seem challenging at first, but the rest is no different from Arduino)

- Advanced sleep modes (power consumption as low as 20μA in the lowest power mode, suitable for battery-powered systems; the board also features a low-dropout…
