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!
