I'd like to try a Nano Every for a new idea and looking for the best price in several sites I am now really confused.
On the Arduino Store page: € 10.40 and in the board description it says: '...the Arduino Nano Every costs a fraction of the original Nano'... actually the Nano in the same store is quoted at €21.60 (!).
The image in the store is the same I see on Amazon with a price of €19.99.
On Aliexpress the Every is sold between €27 and €64 (!), while the Nano basic is around €5.
Be aware that prices on sites such as AliExpress, Ebay, Amazon might not be for the OFFICIAL versions but CLONES or similar.
Yes you can also find OFFICIAL ones there too but you need to be able to spot the differences and know which is which.
Also remember that many Chinese sellers may use the term "official" regardless of its origin !
On those same sites you can also find crazy high prices for the exact same thing and need to be able to spot sellers who are just looking for a quick profit from unsuspecting buyers.
There is actually nothing puzzling about the prices for me at least.
I buy from all those sites and more and do my homework.
On AliExpress especially I may add as many as 10 of the same items to my shopping cart and sort them out in there weeding out any that don't qualify in terms of price.
Over the last few years I have found the prices on the OFFICIAL Arduino site to have become much more competitive.
Mouser have original (not clone) Arduino Nano Every devices in stock at what appear to be reasonable prices (assuming you can bulk out your order to qualify for free delivery - which I always do and have boxes of stuff I'll never use).
Mouser also now has the ATMEGA4809 chip in stock, that is the MCU chip used in the Every.
Do you mean that to get the free delivery you must accumulate more items to reach a total greater than €50 ? Not very convenient for me....anyway, thanks for your point.
No, classical Nano has Atmega328 mcu, but this board has atmega4808 chip.
Atmega4808 and 4809(Nano Every) has common datasheet, it almost the same chip. The 4808 controller has fewer Serial ports (by one) and fewer 16bit timers (by one) than 4809.
Most other parameters are the same.
But this is not for novice, you have to setup IDE to work with it.
Um. 16 fewer pins on the chip!
I'm not quite sure how that works out for a Nano Every "clone." The 4809 on a real Nano Every has more pins than are needed, but I'd think that the 08 Every clones end up with a significantly different board pin mapping, and perhaps a different upload technique (the real Every has an on-board device programmer. Some of the clones use a bootloader.)
So the 4808-based "Every" boards are significantly different than an actual Nano Every (not "clones"!) Whether this is important or not is a separate question - you still get the extra Flash and RAM, for instance.
it's on the сhip. But on the arduino boards using 4809 and 4808 the number of pins are the same, because these boards declared as "compatible with classic Nano"
Flash and RAM sizes are the same for 4808 and 4809(table from datasheet):
Found some "NANO EVERY" on AliBaba ( NOT AliExpress )
Extremely competitive prices.
Beware that there are MINIMUM quantities and that quality is not assured !
You also have to dig deep to find them !
I will NOT be posting a link at any point for those as I am not a sourcing agent unless you want to pay me
Buyer beware and know what you are doing on there !
