Arduino Nano V3.0 USB Type-C (ATmega328P & CH340) | Compact Microcontroller Board

Description The Arduino Nano V3.0 with USB Type-C is a compact, breadboard-friendly development board powered by the reliable ATmega328P microcontroller. This highly modernized version upgrades the traditional communication port to a reversible USB Type-C connector, allowing you to use contemporary cables for programming and power. At its core, it utilizes the highly stable CH340 USB-to-Serial converter chip, ensuring seamless communication between the board and your computer. Delivering the exact same 14 digital I/O pins, 8 analog inputs, and 16MHz clock speed as the classic Arduino Uno, this Nano is the ultimate space-saving "brain" for custom robotics, IoT sensor networks, and interactive DIY electronics.

Specifications Microcontroller: ATmega328P (8-bit AVR) USB-to-Serial Chip: CH340 / CH340C USB Interface: USB Type-C (Reversible) Operating Voltage: 5V DC Input Voltage (Recommended): 7V — 12V DC (via VIN pin) Digital I/O Pins: 14 (6 provide PWM output) Analog Input Pins: 8 DC Current per I/O Pin: 40 mA Clock Speed: 16 MHz Flash Memory: 32 KB (ATmega328P, of which 2 KB used by bootloader) Applications Circuit Prototyping: Snaps directly into standard breadboards for rapid, solderless circuit testing and development. Robotics & Automation: Processing sensor data and driving motor controllers in line-following robots and automated mechanical arms. Smart Home (IoT): Reading environmental data from temperature and humidity sensors to trigger automated relays. Wearable Tech: Controlling compact RGB LED matrix displays in cosplay outfits and custom props due to its ultra-small footprint. Usage Notes CH340 Driver Installation: Because this board utilizes the CH340 serial chip, Windows and Mac users may need to download and install the free CH340 driver so the computer can recognize the COM port in the Arduino IDE. Bootloader Selection: When uploading your sketch via the Arduino IDE, go to Tools > Processor. If the upload fails with a "sync error," switch the setting from ATmega328P to ATmega328P (Old Bootloader). Power Management: You can supply 5V directly via the USB-C port. If using an external battery (e.g., a 9V clip), connect the positive wire to the VIN pin to safely utilize the onboard voltage regulator. FAQ Q: Is this board fully compatible with the official Arduino IDE? A: Yes, it is 100% compatible. You simply select "Arduino Nano" from the boards manager, choose your COM port, and upload your C++ sketches exactly as you would with an official board. Q: What is the difference between the CH340 chip and the FT232RL chip? A: The CH340 is a highly cost-effective and reliable USB-to-serial converter used in many compatible boards, whereas the FT232RL is used in official/older boards. Functionally, they do the exact same job, but the CH340 requires a one-time driver installation on some operating systems. Q: Does the USB Type-C port support data transfer or just power? A: The Type-C port is fully wired for both 5V power delivery and serial data transfer, allowing you to program the ATmega328P chip and read the Serial Monitor. Q: Can I use this with 3.3V sensors and modules? A: The Nano operates at a 5V logic level. While it features a 3.3V pin to power small sensors, the data pins output 5V. You should use a Logic Level Converter when communicating with strict 3.3V devices to avoid damaging them.
