About this item

The Official Arduino Leonardo is a versatile microcontroller board that brings the power of the USB-enabled ATmega32U4 chip to your projects. This board offers similar flash memory, RAM, and processing capabilities as the popular Arduino UNO but adds unique USB functionality that lets it act as a mouse, keyboard, or other USB device directly when connected to a computer. This makes it ideal for projects that require human interface device (HID) emulation.With 20 digital input/output pins, including 7 PWM outputs and 12 analog inputs, the Leonardo provides ample connectivity options for sensors, actuators, and other peripherals. It runs on a 16 MHz crystal oscillator for stable timing and processing speed.The board features a micro USB connection for easy programming and communication with a PC, a 2.1mm power jack for external power sources, an ICSP header for direct programming, and a reset button. It comes fully equipped with everything needed to support the microcontroller out of the box, enabling users to start coding and prototyping immediately.Thanks to its built-in USB capabilities, the Arduino Leonardo is particularly well-suited for creating custom input devices, game controllers, and other innovative projects that require seamless computer interaction.
