The following is a guide to selecting Arduino compatible hardware. It is an incomplete list and is based on a mix of fact, opinion, and personal experience. Feel free to disagree and contribute to this list!
General Purpose
Price | # Digital (PWM) | # Analog | Voltage | Notes | |
Trinket Pro | $15 | 18 (6) | 8 | 3.3v or 5v | more pins than UNO, built in USB, tiny |
Uno (R3) | $35 | 14 (6) | 6 | 5v | simple, easy, foolproof. a bit large |
Pro Mini | $10-15 | 14 (6) | 8 | 3.3v or 5v | small & cheap. Needs FTDI |
Teensy 3.2 | $25 | 34 (12) | 21 | 3.3v | good partner for ESP8266, built in USB, powerful |
Teensy LC | < $20 | 27 (10) | 21 | 3.3v | good partner for neopixels, built in USB, powerful |
Small and Cheap
Price | # Digital (PWM) | # Analog | Voltage | Notes | |
Trinket | $10 | 5 (3) | 3 | small & cheap, built in USB | |
ESP8266 | < $5 | 9 (9) | 1 | WiFi!! Needs FTDI, cheap, tricky to use | |
ATTiny84 | $2 | 10 (4) | 8 | cheap, VERY tiny, tricky to use, needs FTDI |
