Arduino Reviews 17

Had previously good experience, however, recently purchased an UNO Q, and to my amazement, as well as likely others, the on board wifi card has a custom connector for an antenna making it completely incompatible with industry standard available antennas.

No chance of using this in a shielded case, no help from support other than it's been done for regulatory reasons, which don't apply as you can't connect an antenna, and two, because it's been designed for products which aren't available publicly, thus rendering it useless unless it's being used open not in any case, oh, so it's for dev and testing only, what a load of rubbish.

Do yourselves a favour, buy an alternative, not an Arduino branded product.

Update. The issue was entirely the fault of UPS. The Arduino store fixed it in no time. Thanks

The ordering went fine, but the items never arrived. According to the tracking info it ended up in a city 115 km from my address. UPS is not answering emails and contacting Arduino.cc is not possible. Their Contact page does not work. Unacceptable... I guess it's back to the Chinese webshops.

your board is ass your website is buns everything i think of is buns and matter of a fact where am i gonna use this in my future? NOWHERE so shut down this company for ever

Asked a question on email they responded and gave me good answers. Bought one and arrived 7 days later. Im from denmark and they ship from italy so very good

They have an excellent customer care service and fabulous products. One time a package arrived damaged and they resent the product immediately for free. That's a service.

Arduino is playing a dirty game. It is reporting websites that sell its products and that are not direct Arduino customers. This is a really dirty game considering that to be a reseller you have to spend 10,000 euros per year. What can we say about a local business that does not have the purchasing power of Arduino?

Sold a faulty soldering iron, when asked, promised a replacement one, then radio silence, and removed my bad review on my page. Disgusting

Bought an official arduino mega. Board came with a bad communications chip, fails loop back test right out of box. Arduino the company told me tough luck because I didn't save the receipt. Lack of support & quality from company. Wish I bought an elegoo or seedstudio product for half the cost.

I have been using Arduino microcontrollers for years. The Arduino UNO R3 is an excellent platform for not only learning to program microcontrollers but it can be used in rapid prototyping and even in finished products.
I have also used the more powerful DUE which also has more I/O. You can download the Arduino Integrated Design Environment (IDE) for free. It is easy to use and there are lots of on-line document and forums on how to use it. My current favorite is the Arduino Nano which is great for inbedded designs. My Summer STEM students that have already used Parallax and Adafruit microcontrollers graduate to using the Arduinos for their projects. I wonder if they will come out with a TRE series.

We used Arduino in an Intro to engineering class in university. Was a great experience. Arduino is built very well and was fun to work with.
