Starter Sets: Electronic Bricks, Online Manual available

Sorry, That Mega image came from a supplier and I have removed it...

There are at least 5 or 6 suppliers of copies of the original boards. I have tried to make sure that any that we sell come with labels that identify them as "Open Source Copy" or "Arduino Compatible".
I have no control over the actual PCB artwork before they are relabeled.

I'll try to make VERY clear what is not Original Arduino...

But Ebay is outta control in so many ways... "Arduino Duemilanove" gets 208 results. That's wrong, and I am trying to be clear about that situation while making low-cost stuff available to people who need it. In my workshops I use mostly original UNOs and suggest to people that they at least buy an original Arduino board to support the effort.

Nice to hear that :slight_smile:

I personally only purchased one official Arduino but I recommend to others that they buy their first board as an 'official' arduino, not just for supporting the community but also for ensuring that if they have an issue - well all know exactly what the board is like as most of us have at least one of them. Some clone board or variation may have many other issues that people may not have encountered before.
