Product Review
The Arduino Due is more than double Arduino Uno as the core of your projects and devices. It's powered by the Microchip AT91SAM3X8E microcontroller, which features a ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit processor. Connect it to a computer with a micro-USB cable and easily program it. If you like, power it with a Lithium battery. Just be aware that the maximum voltage the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V: voltages higher could damage the board.
- High-Performance 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 Processor: Powered by the Atmel SAM3X8E microcontroller with a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 core running at 84 MHz, providing superior processing power for demanding applications.
- Large Memory for Complex Applications: Equipped with 512KB of flash memory and 96KB SRAM, allowing for large, memory-intensive projects such as data logging, signal processing, and real-time systems.
- 54 Digital I/O Pins & 12 Analog Inputs: Offers an extensive I/O range with 54 digital pins (12 of which can be used as PWM outputs), 12 analog inputs with 12-bit resolution, and 4 hardware serial ports, making it ideal for complex sensor networks and embedded systems.
- Native USB Host and Device Support: Supports both USB Host and USB Device functionality, enabling the connection of external USB peripherals (e.g., USB keyboards, mice, and storage devices) and allowing the Due to act as a USB device.
- Full Compatibility with Arduino IDE: Fully compatible with the Arduino IDE, providing easy access to libraries, examples, and community-driven projects, enabling rapid development and prototyping for advanced embedded systems.
