Turning the arduino on and off frequently

Other Hardware General Electronics

Does anything happen if I turn the arduino nano board on and off frequently? Example:

Manually with a switch I close the circuit, arduino turns on and does a job for a few seconds, I open the circuit with the switch and the board turns off. After a few seconds I may need to repeat the operation or maybe for a few hours and so back to start over and over again.

I don't know if this could damage the arduino or in the long run will cause it to break down faster, does anyone have information on this?
Thank you.

Hello @ykm95,

What has this got to do with the Arduino IDE?

Your topic was moved to its current location as it is more suitable.

Could you also take a few moments to Learn How To Use The Forum.

It will help you get the best out of the forum in the future.

Thank you

And to answer your question: unlikely to be a problem.

As long as you do not exceed any of its parameters and allow enough time for reset it should last a long time without any damage caused because of power cycling.
