i need help identifying the specific model for this board.
It's a clone. Could very well be this one
thanks! yep, it looks like its an off-brand version, but the pins and cicuit parts may be compatable still. thanks, i hadn't been sure if truly was a clone or if i didnt correctly look at the ardurino libraries.
I don't think so -- the Amazon one looks like it has a fancy, expensive, accurate crystal, while the OP's has a lousy, cheap, inaccurate ceramic resonator like the official Arduinos.
Is there a reason why you need to know the specific model ? What are you planning to do with it ?
Check the reverse for silkscreen VIN/PIN.
There are a number of things that give it away
- In red, the serial-to-usb converter.
- In yellow (left top), the lack of a 6 pin header (not needed for clones with that serial-to-usb converter).
- In green, the model of the microprocessor; there was a time that official Arduinos had the square chip due to shortage, but they usually have the long DIP version.
- In orange (right bottom) the soldering area.
And a few more things like lettering and logo.
This is an image of the official one
Note
Too much information:
You can not use your board with UnoJoy (in case you wanted to) because the serial-to-usb converter is not programmable. You will anyway be better off using a board that supports HID functionality out of the box (Arduino Leonardo or Micro, SparkFun Pro Micro) if you need that.
