Cheap Options for Buying an Arduino

Question

Arduino

It's been a long time since the Arduino was released. Perhaps someone found an online store (foreign) where you can buy the board itself \ components (servos, sensors, etc.) as cheaply as possible? Also interested in analogues / Chinese options. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Look towards Arduino compatible clones like Freeduino. 2 years ago, the prices in stores for these clones were less than for Arduino. List of compatible clones
Also look at dealextreme Previously, there were lower prices too.

Answer 2

best ebay option

Answer 3

Link - Popular China :) I ordered it there.

Answer 4

Bought on bik three times.
Everything working came, and it seems to work all the time.

Answer 5

Recently there was an article on Habré , maybe it will help. There's a lot more information and links added in the comments.

Answer 6

I used the cheapest Arduino Pro Mini in my copter, you can buy it for $ 4 on ebay . But you yourself understand that the quality of Chinese clones is often a big question. Let's just say that every 10th scarf (no matter what), bought on ebay for the lowest possible price, turned out to be defective. About good sellers: good, this is not the one who sells exclusively high-quality goods, but the one who, in the event of a breakdown, returns the money in full (not a single seller has returned money to me for a broken product, there was only a single case of a return for a missing parcel).

Answer 7

You can also buy the whole set here.
