The UNO R3 is the staple of most Arduino-based projects but it’s been around for a number of years and many of the features have been improved, for example by Adafruit and Sparkfun which make excellent enhanced UNO compatibles. However, FTDI’s additional requirements for a full 1 A current without excess heat dissipation and FCC/CE conformity led the company to consider a new third-party UNO compatible reference design that met these requirements; hence the inspiration behind NerO.
NerO was initially developed as an accessory for another project, but FTDI then decided to make boards available to interested customers at a promotional price, leading to the inception of the KickStarter project. On launch the company will make the NerO schematic and PCB design files available publicly as a reference design under OSHWA (Open Source Hardware Association) terms.
General specifications for the board are:
• 16 MHz ATMega328 MCU with Optiboot bootloader.
• Input voltage: 7 V to 20 V (9 V or 12 V recommended).
