Differences between Arduino Uno R3 and Explore One
| Feature | Arduino Uno R3 | Explore One | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| USB to Serial IC | Atmega16u2 | CP2102 | The Arduino UNO R3 uses a dedicated micro-controller, the USB to serial firmware can be reprogrammed and upgraded. Explore One uses CP2102 from Si Labs. |
| Power Management | Uses comparator to detect USB power and jack power. | None | Makes better power management |
| Design Software | Eagle | KiCAD | KiCAD is opensource PCB Design Software, check our tutorials here |
| Manufacturing Country | Italy | India | hence a affordable here! |
