Development Boards
104 productsDevelopment boards are the foundation of microcontroller and microprocessor-based projects. From Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano to ESP32, ESP8266, STM32 Blue Pill, Black Pill, and Raspberry Pi Pico, these boards simplify prototyping by integrating essential components—processor, memory, and I/O pins—onto a single convenient platform. They support common communication protocols like UART, SPI, and I2C, allowing seamless sensor and module integration.
When choosing a board, consider processor speed, flash and RAM capacity, operating voltage (3.3V vs 5V), GPIO count, and supported programming environments (Arduino IDE, MicroPython, STM32CubeIDE, etc.). For Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-enabled IoT projects, the ESP32 excels, while the STM32 family suits low-power applications with rich analog features. Arduino boards remain the go-to for education and rapid prototyping thanks to extensive libraries and beginner-friendly interfaces.
