The Mechatronics Club at ENSA Kenitra and I have studied each Arduino board. I will be writing a series of articles to share what we learned. This article is our conclusion on Arduino Nano Boards, covering specifications, use cases, and difficulty levels from Beginners to Professionals. In addition, I have covered Classic boards, MKR boards and Mega boards.
