Out of stock boards #3

Closed kenchris closed 8 years ago

So the former is apparently being deprecated and the latter is out of stock everywhere.

How hard would it be getting something based on ATmega328 working, like the https://store.arduino.cc/product/GBX00066 ?

To my understanding, the emphasis is on the chipset driving the Arduino - the ATmega32u4 has built-in inherent USB support, which is why it must have been chosen for these demos. You should be able to find plenty Arduino Micro clones out there on Ebay, though.

We're also looking into a new firmware for the ATmega16u2 found in boards using the ATmega328 as the application processor (such as the Arduino Uno R3). Right now the WebUSB library relies on the PluggableUSB capability supported by the 32u4-based boards. The ones without built-in USB support have an additional chip that provides USB-to-serial conversion.

It also appears that SparkFun has Arduino Leonardos in stock as well as 8 MHz and 16 MHz versions of the Pro Micro.

Great, I will try to acquire some

It seems that Arduino Yún is the logical replacement of the Leonardo, using the same processor:
