I am a student at the University. Recently I am doing my graduation project. My supervisor suggested me to use Arduino Zero for my project but he said that Arduino zero is not a specific board, it includes a family of boards and I need to decide which board I am going to use.
After searching on the Internet, I can't find any information about what kind of board is included in the family of Arduino Zero, which confused me a lot. Is anyone here can give me some useful advice?
I will email my supervisor about that. One more quick question. Because I need to buy the equipment from the university's suppliers and I found that Arduino Zero is only available on the Arduino official web. Do you know any supplier that has Arduino zero board to sell?
I don't know of any specific suppliers, but there is a list of Arduino's distributors here that you could cross-reference with your university's supplier list and check whether any of them have the Zero in stock:
I've noticed the Zero has been out of stock in the Arduino store for customers in America, Asia, Oceania for quite some time now, though it has been in stock for Europe/Africa that whole time. Even when the Arduino Store is out of stock, you will find that the distributors often have inventory.
The Arduino MKR boards are a more recent product and so you might find them to be more readily available. The MKR Zero is a nice little board at a reasonable price. It's a bit less fully featured than the Zero in that the Zero has a built in debugger, which none of the MKR boards have. That debugger is very rarely used by Arduino users so it might not be much of a loss.
