This blog is into Arduino and electronics for Beginners from Malaysia. I will be focusing on what projects you can use the Arduino for, Arduino shields, physical computing and interaction with the real world using various types of sensors and actuators. Some focus would be on Arduino in Malaysia like where to obtain electronics parts, gathering, workshops and meetups. Please join the facebook group for discussions, additional project photos and information sharing among beginners.
I got a surprised today when I received a delivery package as I don't remember I ordered anything recently ... it turns out to be a Maker Nano from Cytron, Malaysia Largest Digital Maker Marketplace.
Maker Nano
Here are the pinout of the Maker Nano with the following add-ons :-
Maker Nano pinout
12 x LED
1 x buzzer at D8 ( I love the buzzer )
1 x button at D2
Recently I have been testing a few new board and the first thing to do is to locate where the LED pin is connected to. Some boards are obvious at pin 13 ( the default for Arduino ) but others are less obvious, pin 5 for a RISC-V chip ( pin 5 as in roman letter V ) and others, I had to search the Internet and schematic diagram to locate them, especially China made board with less documentation.
This board Maker Nano had LED at ALL the pin, no problems whatsoever...
Upon booting up, you will be greeted with a pleasant surprised, click on the video if you do not like surprises.
I love PCB in purple!!! And also this is Product of Malaysia !!!!!

Here are some photos of the Maker Nano compared to "regular" Nano with the screw terminal boards.
