Review: Powerful Microcontroller With Built In USB Communication - This board is an excellent choice for custom projects that need direct USB communication. The ATmega32U4 chip makes it stand out because it can act as a keyboard or mouse without extra libraries, which opens up a lot of creative possibilities. With 20 digital I/O pins, 7 PWM outputs, and multiple analog inputs, there is plenty of flexibility for sensors, LEDs, and control devices. The headers are sturdy and make prototyping easy on a breadboard or with jumper wires. Running at 16MHz, it is fast enough for most hobby and DIY applications. Setup with the Arduino IDE was seamless and sketches upload quickly over USB. The board has been reliable during testing, and the small size makes it easy to embed into projects. A great microcontroller for makers who want more functionality than a basic Uno while still keeping full compatibility with the Arduino ecosystem
Review: Great Arduino - The board comes certified Arduino built in Italy, so it is legit. The boarditselfisamazing. Compared to the bread and butter UNO R3, this board is much smaller of a profile then the UNO. The MicroUSB is so convent and nice to have. It slims down the overall profile of the board and means I now have more options for cables and so forth. The old giant ATMega is gone replaced instead by a much more robust ARM based processor. The chip itself is of the SMD tech, which you can see in they turns of the item. The board came shipped in a little box, but other then that, which isn't about the item and more of shipping/retailer then the board. I would recommend this board as it is the same board as the UNO but half the weight and with more compatibility options. Overall fantastic purchase and I would highly recommend this product to any and all persons interested in the related fields. UPDATE: I have successfully fried this board, rather easily I might add. However! One can not downgrade the product due to user error, and for that I still think the board is amazing. Even though all my digital pins are toast, the MicroUSB connection makes it a hell of a power supply. Just use a wall wart and use the Vin pin or the 3.3V & 5V pins to power your projects. The MircoUSB alone makes the whole product worth it in my opinion. Because I have several devices that utilize the MircoUSB connection, finding a wall wart to power this thing is effortless.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Some say fake, some say genuine.  Which is it?**
A: Here is the problem, Amazon reviews are by the product name, not seller. So you will see reviews for both fake and real. If it's coming from China, rest assured it is a fake. If it's less than ~$18, it is most likely a fake. I purchased from mp3car store for about $19 and I received a genuine Arduino. Also keep in mind there are some legitimate clones that are perfectly legal, provided they do not use the Arduino name on the board - they may may use cheaper components (e.g. voltage regulator). But these ones on Amazon for around $12 are counterfeit since they use Arduino name and trademark and attempt to trick the buyer into thinking they got the real thing.It looks like Amazon has partially fixed the problem. Previously under "more buying choices" you would see the counterfeits. The tell tale sign was they were about $13. The have removed them, but you can still find them for sale under search term "Arduino Compatible". Amazon however should ban them from sale since they use Arduino name/trademark on board.Here is an example of a counterfeit board http://www.amazon.com/Development-Microcontroller-MEGA328P-ATMEGA16U2-Arduino/dp/B00G46X31W/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1392856538&sr=1-11&keywords=arduino+compatible

**Q: Does it come with USB connector?**
A: No, genuine Arduino units do not include the USB connector.  Some sellers are including USB cables with their 'knock off' boards, but selling them here on Amazon is against their terms of service.

**Q: how do I attach my USB plug to this board?**
A: You can use a Micro B cable to plug in this board.

**Q: it says have 20 I/O pin. but in picture, there are only 13, how to make use of the rest of IO?**
A: For the Leonardo, the AI pins (A0-A5) can be used as digital pins... See the Arduino website for more details. http://arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardLeonardo
