I want to buy Arduino nano & did an internet search. They are listed at various prices from $4 to $9. I don't know which one to choose. I'm concerned that the cheapest ones may be "cheap & nasty" Does anyone have a recommendation? Any advice will be appreciated. Len |

At that price I would buy some of each. Not much to lose if one or two are no good. |

Go for one with the main chip in a socket, That way you can take your project off the Arduino board and onto your own pcb. I bought a cheap copy and it's been working great for about 4 years. Edit, just looked at your post again and found you were talking about the nano I was thinking about the uno. Dave. |

i go for the ones with a white rectangular reset button. never had any problems: http://www.ebay.com/itm/302120266959 (nz$3.16 including shipping) just tell ebay to sort by lowest price+shipping, 'buy now' and select the first listing with a single price given (not a price range). cheers, rob :-) |

What Rob says above. For crying out loud, all I wanted to do was flash this blasted LED. |

@larny, As Busa says in his post above, just make sure you order more than one. Shipping times can be a bit 'painful' especially now as Xmas draws nearer. This is just something to consider in case you're in a 'rush'; alternatively pick a local supplier supplying 'cheap' parts. You will pay around double, but get it much much quicker.

Thanks for the responses. I'll buy 2 (one for security) from the site mentioned by Rob. I'm not in a hurry. However, several weeks ago, I bought a 20uF motor start capacitor for my Evaporative Air Con (the Air Con company wanted $120 for the cap & $280 for installation) from one of the EBAY Chinese sites. I can't recall the cost, but it was about $4. It arrived in late October even though the best delivery date was said to be 3 Nov. So I assume they put the orders into a shipping container & send it when full. So it is the luck of the draw, i.e. it comes early if you order when a container is nearly full. Len |

I find the Nano prototype shields pretty handy if you are doing development stuff. They are cheap on eBay |
