which board do I have??

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

What I purchased was advertised as an arduino duemilanove, it says arduino "UNO" on it.

Trying to find it on the "getting started" page, I assume its the Arduino "Due" for "Duemilanove" but it looks nothing like the picture describing the serial ports as the whole board is too big.

So I think.. maybe its the mini? I click on mini and see its a smaller long board compared to my own. After scrolling down I see one like mine is a "Regular" board, described as an Arduino NG which is exactly like mine except mine still has the AT mega.

So where exactly can I find the getting started for MY "regular" arduino board????

Hi,

Arduino Duemilanove was the model prior to the Uno and they're still commonly made & sold. Check here for more specs. It is very close to the Uno in spec, but has different hardware for the USB interface.

Cheers ! Geoff

show us a picture of the board.. Which IC is the board using, Atmega328p, atmega168p.. The FTDI/USB part, which chip is it using, atmega8u2/16u2 or FTDI 232RL?

"Duemilanove" means "2009" in Italian. The Duemilanove was made in 2009 and is the precursor to the Uno.

An Arduino Uno is newer/better than a Duemilanove.

"Arduino Uno" means "Arduino 1"

"Arduino Due" means "Arduino 2"

The Arduino 2 is a 32 bit ARM based Arduino.

You can try and match it up with those products shown here:

Due is a brand new board released in the past year. It has absolutely nothing in common with the Duemilanove.

As others have stated, you should probably post a picture of it. Or at least identify the USB to Serial chip it is using.
