Arduino's new Nano board family is more powerful and affordable

Arduino's new Nano board family is more powerful and affordable. The most basic one will set out back $9.90.

Arduino's Nano line will soon welcome four new products. They're all small boards like the classic one, making Nano a family of small boards meant for compact projects. All the new boards boast low energy consumption and processors more powerful than what the classic has. Even better, they're all pretty affordable: the most basic entry called Nano Every, which you can use for "everyday" projects and can replace the classic Nano, will even set you back as little as $9.90.

Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi said in a statement:

"The new Nanos are for those millions of makers who love using the Arduino IDE for its simplicity and open source aspect, but just want a great value, small and powerful board they can trust for their compact projects. With prices from as low as $9.90 for the Nano Every, this family fills that gap in the Arduino range, providing makers with the Arduino quality they deserve for those everyday projects."

    You failed engineering 101. If you need an entire embedded Linux distribution just to toggle some IO pins you're doing something very wrong. How long is the Pi zero boot process? Arduino is a few milliseconds tops. Now let's talk power draw...

    We live in a world where we've trained people to accept "smart TVs" with boot times longer than old vacuum tube warm up times, so I'm not saying its the right thing, but it is what it is...

      Something's gotta boot if you want Netflix on your TV.... Does performing that boot sequence on your ps4 instead of your TV really change anything?
