- It's really easy to mix up terms when talking about "Arduino Uno" boards. Is one better than the other? Is it bad to buy clone boards? What's the difference between a clone and a counterfeit?

well now i want an arduino with an anime girl in a bikini printed on it
Doesn't everyone?
Simp
You can
Truly value added.
@@AnotherMakerwhere did you find that? 😂
I just realized, my teacher doesn't encourage or doesn't mention counterfeits and clones because she herself was letting us borrow counterfeits that she bought for quite the price. and is holding us accountable if it breaks. I mean sure it's right, but now that I got a clone, I probably would never touch that pricey counterfeit again if clones would just do fine.
That would be pretty funny if she made you pay full price for the cheap ones. Either way, I'm glad you're learning Arduino
The funny part of my interview with Andrea is that I didn't even know Arduino had all those fancy MKR and Pro boards until he told me, so I had to feverishly google them! The Arduino world is incredibly vast but for some reason, most of the boards go unnoticed!
Yeah. I always look at those boards and struggle to find a use for them compared to the ESP32. My next video is going to be "A Tale of 9 Form Factors" :)
I started off with genuine Arduino Uno and Mega boards, but nowadays I always buy clones, and haven't had any trouble with them over 4 or 5 years. So many people don't realise that the Arduino is an open-source platform, and therefore there is nothing wrong with making a clone, or building a more fully featured board on the base design. Completely agree with your view on counterfeit though; that's just abusing the open -source nature of the Arduino project, and in my view it's attempting to mislead customers too.
Yeah. I'm sure people have had problems with the clones, but I've bought them by the hundreds for projects without issue.
The cytron maker uno is probably one of my favourite Arduino clones out there, built in speaker, user button and gpio LEDs!
I agree 100% with donating to Arduino! Listening to Simple Electronics podcast really opened my eyes to what they are doing in Italy!
Yeah. They're doing some really cool stuff that has absolutely changed my life.
Pretty sure I'm going to be jumping on this bandwagon !! Excited ! Good video sir !
Welcome aboard! I think you're going to love it.
I just want to put out here that I know I called them Arduino when I'm talking about the generic ones. I would say "sue me" but in this context, I really don't mean that. :) This is the official counterfeit Arduino guide. www.arduino.cc/en/products/counterfeit
Hi thanks for this video. this is a good guide. I think it was fair and balanced. The only thing I would mention is that , since arduino is open source, we expect also the others to open source their files. Unfortunatley most of the clones and "value added" boards are clearly in violation of the CC-SA-BY license on our hardware... It's a simple rule, if you use something that Arduino releases you should release your changes too. Otherwise the incentive to release as open source becomes less than zero while cloners flourish because they don't bear any of the costs of running the Arduino machine.
Arduino store on amazon isn't arduino .cc; they're arduino .org. genuine boards are teal now; that's way darker than it should be. Go to arduino .cc to see what the genuine boards actually look like.
Just giving you a heads up. .org split from .cc a long time ago.
I got my first Arduino and by accident got the clone. Got some issues to start using it but solved. It is working fine since then.
I have a " elegoo Uno r3 " and i got impressed By the power of the card
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas
Thanks for watching!
Was always skeptical of the counterfeit as on the website its pcb appeared green while this ones blue.
The counterfeit is actually thought of as the Original arduino in my country and yea priced like 5$ more than the clone.
Thanks for this video, unfortunately there aren't any originals in my country and purchasing an original from the website is unaffordable for me.
I have a $3 cheap-o clone but it has a usb-c port. Works great.
My first Arduino board was a genuine Mega2560 and it has served me well. I have also bought and used several of the clones with the CH340 chip. I even have one of the Robored's from Yourduino. The ONLY one of ANY of them that has ever failed was the Robored--- but that failure was my OWN fault for allowing 12 volts onto an analog pin. Even then, the rest of the board works normally. I like the Ch340 boards better, by the way. ----Not hundreds, like you, but a couple dozen, at least. Except for few experiments, most are in process control environments.
12v will do it :) Yeah. People talk bad about the ch340 boards, but I can't remember ever having a problem with them
Can you share a link where I can differentiate clones from counterfeit? Clones and value-added are cool, but sometimes they are hard to tell apart.
www.arduino.cc/en/products/counterfeit
Important message to get out there.
Hopefully some of the pedants listen (though I'm not holding my breath...)
We'll see :)
Should send you one of my home-made Uno work-a-likes. I put a jumper on the 6-pin ISP, so user can select it to be RST or the SPI/SS pin. Good for when you want to use the device as an SPI host. That 3/5V switch on yours is a good idea. An inside row of pins on the right, without that awful 0.4mm offset is a must for people who construct shields out of common 50x70mm protoboards.
Whoa. That's fun! I'd love to see it.
When I started with the Arduino EFI(Speeduino) 4 years ago, people noticed the USB dropping-out with the CH340 chip. It's probably fixed now, but it was the auto load PnP win driver. If you ran the official CH340 manufacturer driver it was fine.
I also blewup my Mega2560 when I plugged it into a laptop that was being powered by the cigarette lighter. ie, the car injectors tried to ground through the laptop - lol -.
haha. Wow. That's pretty intense. I do use those cigarette lighter adapters to power boards, but I don't actually have them in cars. I didn't think they'd be quite THAT noisy. My condolences to your Mega.
Excelente video ❤
I started with an Uno clone included in a kit with lots of sensors - and it functions flawlessly, as far as I can tell.
Just like I give money to support open source software or other crowd-funded endeavours I wanted to support the Arduino platform/IDE & development, though.
That's why I bought both an original Mega 2560 and a Nano to have options (I'm still in the "experimenting stage").
Yeah. That's exactly where I'm at with this stuff. Thanks for watching.
I've just bought my first two genuine Arduino boards... Mega 2560 & Uno R3. I have many other boards from Mega to Micro and Nano... all copies and not had any problems except my last copy of a Mega and the USB packed up... time will tell if the genuine is better or not!
I'm guessing you won't notice a difference, but it's nice to support the company.
Thank You
I use clone unos, never had a problem with any of them. However, I also got a clone pro micro, and the usb interface doesn't really work, I have to reset it every time I upload to it, and the hid feature doesn't work (I can't use it as a keyboard)
I've definitely had issues with the clone pro micro/mini/digisparks. - I'm sure part of it has been user error, but they're trickier in general.
I have esp32 questions.. 8266? Making WiFi sensor devices or other items to help elderly. (Local church pays for items, I want to build and give to elderly).
ESP32 or ESP8266 are both great choices for that
I couldn't find the duck one or the anime one online except for some dead ebay links.
Oh, I forgot to say as I got carried away :) I don't remember any issues with the original boards. For clones, I have had many come with no boot loader and a few with DOA issues, but that has been the rare side of things. I used to test a new arrival by uploading the blink code, but if the BL was not there I would just use the avr-toolchain and send a blink I did with avrdude. I did just get a batch of nano clones in for a project that the client requires using the *duino world. None of the clones had the bootloader and I had to put it on them. Not a big deal, but I could see that as an issue for others.
Ive had clones where i couldn't install the boot loader. To much risk for me, i would sooner pay the extra $20 and get a real one that has been tested.
I've never run into one without the BL in the Uno form factor. I know the small compact boards, that has driven me nuts.
The issue is always a tradeoff between costs and the value you give to your time. Buying something that works out of the box and comes with warranty it's an important value for some, it saves you time and risk.
@@mbanzi Yeah there are always tradeoffs I know. I feel the Arduino.cc boards are a good value in most cases and I have purchased and will purchase again the genuine boards when they are the best value (price, quality, functionality, etc.) I still think the 8-bit boards could be a few dollars less. Could the normal Nano be made to sell for @10$USD? I know the UNO R3 takes a bit more make but how about a TQFP-32 version of the UNO? I know I am on the outside looking in, and not having the complete picture on those items. You guys do a super job with the foundation and I think it's been a BIG positive in the OSH world and a driving force. Thanks for all you do and have done.
@@UReasonIt Thanks for the comment. We do have the Nano Every which is more powerful than the regular nano and sells for $9. Two of the issues with pricing of Arduino boards is that , on one hand doing everything by the book is expensive and on the other hand the price includes the margin for the resellers who do an important job. Not everyone can buy direct and resellers provide a service which is important for most customers. Obviously if one could cut corners, use lower quality parts, completely remove any investment in development/support/etc and sell directly (with ridiculously low shipping charges that are subsidised by the government) you can see how much cheaper things could be. But hey I somebody makes copies of Arduino respecting the trademark and the open source licenses, we're ok with it.. We do it because we believe in the power of open source. :)
I have the Elegoo Uno. It worked until I let it sit unused for a couple months. It would not communicate with my PC. It would eventually see it after changing com ports several times, but it wouldn't take any changes. Reseating the chip fixed the issue.
Wow. That's really crazy. I've never run into that with Elegoo, but I guess anything is possible.
Not long ago, I purchased 8 "Arduino" starter kits from AliExpress and began exploring the world of microcontrollers. The kits came with clones. I was a bit put off at first, but in using these I quickly realized these do everything other people are doing with their original UNO boards. So, I concur that the clones are just as good, and as an added bonus are cheaper than the original boards. The only difficulty I had with a clone was due to lack of sleep, and I absentmindedly connected a 9V rated 1A adapter to the board. Needless to say, that after a brief puff of smoke my board no longer functioned properly.
I would have expected the 9v adapter to work. I wonder if it was reverse polarity?
@@AnotherMaker So, did I, but it didn't.
I am looking for something like the keystudio one, but a variation of the Mega. Anyone know one?
Keyestudio has 2 options. amzn.to/38qn44W and amzn.to/3eqYPYf
I’ve got a couple real UNO’s and I’ve gotten several clones/fakes with parts kits I’ve purchased. One of the “free” ones I’ve got I’m seriously hesitant to use as components on the board arn’t even soldered on straight. It was manufactured by a company called Wayin Top. To me that speaks to their quality and their workmanship and leads me to call that board suspect at best.
Yeah. I will say, when I was buying megas by the hundreds, I picked a well known vendor on Aliexpress and bought them. If people want something in the middle, it's hard to go wrong with Elegoo/Keyestudio
question
if i use my code for arduino uno in for example the clone one, will it still work?
Absolutely
@@AnotherMaker ight bet thanks brother
If I buy genuine board how I'm helping to develop the IDE as far as I know the IDE is open source
There is debate about where that money actually flows, but in theory, yes.
damn thats 2 more boards i need to buy....
What do u think about elegoo brand Arduino?
Elegoo and Keyestudio are my favorites
Good! I bought black moisture sensor from elegoo, small water pump from elegoo. Pack of wires, an 8 switch (blue) brick I call it. Lol
I will order mega Arduino (elegoo). I will look for old usb wire to power 8 switch /sensors/pumps that will be attached.
What level of power usb plug do I need (amps)?
At first 1sensor/pump. Once works I will add as many as possible. Is it qty ONE ITEM PER SWITCH? Or. Sensor and pump both per switch?
I will end up with 8sensors / 8 pumps. Running. Later I will set up another set of 8 with same MEGA Arduino but a new 8 switch brick (or whatever is needed. Lol. Eventually I will max out the MEGA ARDUINO. start with another mega but larger pumps.
I am trying to auto sense and water vegetables in containers (Asian veges), fruit trees, berries, grape vines, then a raised garden.
Oh, the wife’s rose bushes.lol much later but in phases. Mostly gravity fed water lines from large retainer.
Wow. Great video.... Good Luck bro....😃😃👍
Thank you. Same to you.
@@AnotherMaker 😇😇
Good topic. I use clones and off-shoots mostly for *duino-type boards. I have the following real boards: Due, MKR1000, Yun (x2), Curi, and a Nano33 IoT. I have thought for a long time that the 8bit AVR boards were too pricy for what they are. I know the older Nano has dropped in price but still should be a few dollars less than it is. I would buy a Nano33 again and think they are a decent value. The big draw for newbies to the Arduino uC world is the IDE and libraries available and not so much the hardware the foundation has. I do recommend it to others as a "gateway" (drug;-) but recommend other options for real prod-type development. I keep the IDE on my computer for quick tests and the serial monitor :) I have donated several times to the foundation and believe in what it's doing. The *duino libraries are plentiful I know and that's a good thing, but I think most are too bloated for my use anyway. The latter is MY OPINION and my problem and not others I'm sure. I am a path less traveled kind of person, good or bad.
Kind of curious what you decided to do with the Nano33 IOT. I really like the idea of it, it's just hard to go with that board when I have the ESP boards.
@@AnotherMaker I was curious how well it worked and it's in the Nano form and also wanted to try it in one of my breakouts. I thought about using it in a current project that I am doing that has a Nano-clone and ESP32 in. I decided to stick with the combo since it's a client project.
04:08 Honest question: What does one do with hundreds of Arduino boards?
I do automation and rapid prototyping. So I need a lot of variety. I've also connected hundreds of buildings together and things like that.
Will all the Arduinos work with the same software
Yes. Absolutely
Even if it's fake
Well now i want my arduino uno be customized with my PFP printed on the back
I just used those two boards this weekend. They're really nice to use. The LEDs next to the pins are crazy helpful
@@AnotherMaker yeah i guess
My luck with the official boards is much like yours. I own about 160 arduinos. All clones except for one.Mostly Nano,Uno, and Mega. A dozen or so Micro and Attiny. The one genuine Arduino I purchased is the only one that turned out to be a brick. After 3 years all my arduinos from AliExpress are still going strong in various musical projects. Every few months I will try that one bad one and still cannot get it to work.
haha. I feel the same way about the one bad one. It never works for me either.
Hi sir, I recently got into the arduino sector because I want to make a game buzzer projet. Could you tell me which type of board you get from Aliexpress ? It's really hard for me to tell which ones could possibly be okay (I search Arduino Uno clones). Thanks you in addvance for your help :).
Clone one is not working properly
Nice video. Suppoting the devs was the reason why I just got a genuine Adafruit motor shield instead of a cheaper clone or counterfeit
Absolutely. That's a nice thing to do.
The first arduino I bought from amazon was supposed to be genuine, but it was a fake. I returned it. Since then, I buy only reputable clones. I am more interested in programming the microcontroller directly with C or assembly. So, I don't care about arduino.
I normally use nano clones which have the ch340g driver. Since its more convenient to use on a breadboard. After everything's working, I move onto using pro mini's to make my project smaller. Did anyone try the dual nrf24 adapter with i2c and spi pins?
I do a lot of stuff that uses networking libraries that can easily overrun the ram of nano/uno, but when I can drop down to those. I've started using Wemos D1 mini's for my compact stuff when I need more power. I've never tried the nrf24. Interested to hear if anyone responds on that.
@@AnotherMaker I have yet to play with the blue pill and wemos clones. Got plenty of stuff I haven't gotten to play with. At least I was finally able to use the NRF24network library.
lol at that arduino anime edition. First time I saw one.
It's actually a really nice, high quality board
Mine is clone. Works as good as real. I hope (beacause I never got a real one. but works good)
Yeah. My clones work perfectly.
I'm not sure if I have a genuine Arduino board unless someone had sent one in, but I've had clones of Uno, Due, Nano, Pro Micro (Isn't that a Sparkfun creation? But mine was still a clone of it). No problems. I did buy a genuine Sparkfun uno for over $20 in 2016 or 2017, my first Arduino related product. Back then I didn't know there were $3 clones, I thought $20 WAS the clone!
It's actually crazy how much even the clones have gone up with the shipping. I have so many megas because they were like a 50 cent difference in price. Now an Uno clone is close to $6-$7usd. And yeah, the pro micro started off as a sparkfun thing, but I only have clones too.
@@AnotherMaker The next time I need an Atmel based module it might be cheaper to just have a PCB made and put my own parts on with the hot plate!
my first Arduino is a genuine mega2560
How do you like it?
@@AnotherMaker I like it but haven't used it much anymore. It's too big and I don't need all these pins usually. I got it as first board as to 'be sure' as I didn't know much about Arduino's back then.
At the end of the day Arduino is still promoted we go and still ask for Arduino Uno copy. It good for Arduino.
You are 100% right
I thought arduino was kinda on its way out because of all the raspberry pi and python stuff.. Its still a viable choice?
Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? It all depends on what you want to make. Nothing comes by far close to the value rate of a Nano clone if you want to make a simple project like an mp3 jukebox, or controlling some lamps, or making a thermostat, or... You don't need a $100+ superdupergadget when you still can use the one for less than $2.00 - and it's even much easier to work with.
Most SBC's like the RPI aren't real-time and some-what harder to interface with the real world, but lines are getting more and more and more blurred there. Things like outside world interrupt processing and the like are still better suited for a uC. For many Python is the choice they should make and for others, C, ASM, or Forth is what they need to get the job done, even for fun projects. It's all in what you need.
It's definitely a viable choice. It's so much simpler than the pi and if I don't need a full-fledged operating system, I reach for the arduino or ESP boards 99 times out of 100.
Last year, just before the human malware situation arose, I made a 'CD drive emulator' for my old car radio, using an Atmega 328p. It made the radio think a CD multichanger was attached, so the radio then enabled its line inputs, which allowed an mp3 player to work, instead of using a terrible cassette adaptor. It also allowed the buttons on the radio to change tracks on the MP3 player. Built onto a small piece of vero board, it works a treat, so yes, I'd wholeheartedly say that skills learned via 'Arduino', and the 'Uno', using basic microcontrollers (not so much the surface mount ones), still have a place, as long the supply of them lasts, and the current issue of counterfeit chips can be resolved.
5:30 🤣
I just got in to these a couple momths back (single board computers and electronic interests lead me this way). I am buying an Arduino Uno R3 from arduino .cc to contribute to them in some way, but other fhan that I'll probably be grabbing clones and ones with improvements if possible. For instance, someone is selling an uno style board with improved components on ebay (like non electrolytic capacitors on there instead), and stuff like the Seeeduino boards and some of the keyestone boards (like their supers or advanced boards) interest me
Honestly, I'd be more inclined to buy a couple more actual Arduino's if they didn't do weird stuff like not bringing the 4th pin (ain0) on the Mega's processor out to socket so some tbird party shields for the Uno won't work with the Mega.
Yeah. I guess in a lot of ways it's easier to just donate directly to arduino if you want rather than overpay for boards you may not like.
Uh, that aint the genuine arduino uno r3. They are now teal. The "arduino store" on amazon is not actually arduino .cc; they're arduino .org, although they have been shipping genuine boards lately, but they have been the newer teal ones; not the older blue one.
Not trying to be a sourpants, just giving you a heads up.
I didn't know that. Obliviously this is a hot topic between the two orgs about what is real and what isn't, but yeah. It just said arduino store, not arduino.cc store
you forgot to mention the different formfactor of 328's used 😀
I do have a form factor video coming up. I'm just deciding how many to include.
@@AnotherMaker yeah the days of just a few different Arduino boards are long gone. I'd find it hard to give advice on that.
i think the clones are OK, if they does not try to fool people to think that it is the original brand and product.
take care about exist more than one original revisions (no mean R3 or R2 or something, i mean color, connectors and silkprints) througth the years. i count at least 4 different models. one with the front in "dark" green (or green mixed with dark blue) color and back in white with enormus infinite in dark green (my unit), other with the front in dark green and the back with dark green with the infinite in white, others with the front in blue with the back in vertically part in half white and blue, other the same but change the blue with the dark green, and finaly like you show in the video in the first place... . same happend with the rest of the boards, include nano, micro, mega and due. only can know what is an original model is if use the original website with waybackmachine and surf throught different years. greetings
the only boards I will ever buy clones of are the mega and nano, every other one I will buy will be official. The reason I’ll buy clones of mega and nano is because I cant afford mega and I cant find nano.
I definitely don't have a problem with buying either official or clones. I'm all for people buying what they want. Thanks for commenting!
Wow AliExpress has Mano clones also. But they look scary.lol
I would say that 95% of my arduinos have come from Ali without issue.
I agree with most of what you say. I have had no problems with the Chinese clones, apart from when that chip manufacturer decided to brick all copies of their communication chips through a malicious sabotage update in Windows Update. But I don't blame the Chinese for that behaviour.
Apart from my major project of bringing back life into a dead pinball machine - that took two Mega's - I am more than pleased with the Nano clones I ordered for about US$1.80 some years ago before our country took Protectionistic measures to cease such purchases. So to me, that development of new, more expensive boards is totally not interesting. It just makes it even harder to pick the correct board from the ever growing list of boards when connecting one to my PC. I would however like to see someone develop the UI to recognize the hardware automatically. I don't have the knowledge needed to understand how difficult this must be to achieve, but I can't help but wonder how hard that could be! It's really really a pain in the butt to pick the correct variant of boards as they grow in numbers, especially as I am not very interested in learning about that part of the Arduino Universe. I'm just a maker, focusing on what I can make from what I already have at hand, not studying the all step in the evolution of Arduino variants.
The bricking of communications chips sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't really remember what happened there. I'll have to do some research. I watched your pinball video btw. Great project!
@@AnotherMaker It was dubbed 'FTDI gate', hackaday.com/2014/10/24/ftdi-screws-up-backs-down/. I think the bricked uarts could be recovered with the help of some Google Foo by rewriting the chip/usb ID or something like that, but that would have been beyond the abilities of most folk. The nasty thing about this particular issue is that the things had found their way into the supply chain, much like counterfeit Atmega 328p chips have done now, and the chips were in all sorts of things from otherwise previously trustworthy manufacturers, so you can imagine pleased people were, when their expensive stuff suddenly didn't work. It also revealed how subject to abuse the 'Windows Update' process was, and probably still is, and damaged a lot trust all round.
Mine is black and says elegoo uno
Those are great boards
Bro why did u buy a board that has a picture of a girl in a bakini😭
lol. It was a sample from the company.
Clones and "counterfeit" means that the entry level is actually at my price range, couldn't be part of the hobby otherwise
Yeah. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them and I think they do a lot for the community
Just thinking how much money they are making, there supply are in whole world
Yeah. The margins on the brand name ones have to be huge.
I “”THINK”” THE PLUS BOARD OR BOARD YOU USUALLY BUY. I AM NEW AND NEED TO START. I HAVE A HUGE PROJECT NEEDING ONE/SOME.
I HUMBLY WISH SOMEONE WOULD DO AN END TO END VIDEO SHOWING CORRECT CONNECTIONS / CLOSEUP SCREEN ACCESS TO CODE / HOW TO LOAD CODE and get one running .... knowing I will attach MANY MORE SAME ITEMS TO IT. ALSO TELL ME MAXIMUM (SETUPS) PER BOARD CAPABILITY.

ANY SUGGESTION WHICH BOARD? I can show via mail the items I plan to attach to board. Anyone wanna make a video to help the cause? Let’s chat.

Even without the printing, it's still a cool board in its own right.
What to see a guy shake some unplugged Arduino boards around and yammer on for 7 minutes, while not testing or showing any actual differences in the electronic function of the devices... then here's a video for you. Thanks youtube recommender.
Duckyduino!
It was really hard for me to not constantly refer to it as the DuckDuino.
Isn't the thumbnail of this video a scam?
Students have to forget about programming etc if they start purchasing original Arduino (talking about middle class family)
Arduino should be cheaper 😔
Well I'm glad that there are cheap options out there.
@@AnotherMaker yaa me too ☺️
the fake actually uses the old arduino uno r3 silkscreen on the back and the new genuine ones use a different silkscreen on both layers and still says rev 3 due to hardware being rev 3 while look of the silkscreening has been changed which is kinda dumb in my opinion should have called it rev 4 as any change to the boards electrical or visual should change the rev number which they didn't do for some stupid reason.
Yeah. Apparently they don't care about attention to detail :)
HAHHAHAHA may Allah guide us. Thank you for the tutorial, subscribed.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Bro, I got a fake Arduino with a wifi chip built in.
What model is it? I'd love to see that one
@@AnotherMaker I don't know.
I just bought it for $3 on Alli express
I bought 2 bad clones off Ebay. Both my genuine arduinos work fine. Buy the real one.. Its a risk buying clones. The fake usually don't have the firmware in them and thats tricky to fix.
Sorry about that. We've had the exact opposite problem. My USB port was never the same after I plugged in my genuine one.
