Arduino Nano USB C:

Arduino Nano USB C, Review and Testing- Just for you guys, I have launched my USB-C type Arduino Nano on Amazon with the brand name Electronic Clinic. So, when you buy the Arduino Nano, be sure to check for the brand name Electronic Clinic.

I have made its packaging quite premium.

Inside this box, you will find one Arduino Nano in an anti-static plastic bag and one original USB-C type cable.

Just check out the quality, the USB-C type port has added a touch of elegance to the Arduino Nano. For your convenience, I have already soldered the male headers, so you will get it ready to use. All you need to do is connect it to your computer and start programming.

If you buy this kind of Arduino Nano board, which does not come with a cable, USB-C type port, or soldered male headers. You will not be able to use any cable with it, and moreover its cable is not available everywhere. So, you will have to buy a separate cable for it, which means extra payment. And if the cable gets misplaced or lost, you will have to buy another one.

So, I must say, it is time to upgrade. Instead of purchasing this kind of Arduino Nano, buy a USB-C type Arduino Nano. Because USB-C type cables are readily available in every house nowadays, and you can easily get them from any mobile shop.

Its pinout is just like the other Arduino Nano boards, so if you want to use this new Arduino Nano in any existing project, simply remove the old Arduino Nano and replace it with this new one, and that’s it.

For your convenience, I have properly labeled the I2C pins; A4 is the SDA, and A5 is the SCL. I have labeled the reset button, and added arrows to the TXD and RXD pins.

Now, let’s connect it to the laptop.

While the Arduino IDE is open. Go to the File Menu, then to Examples, then to Digital, and click on the BlinkWithoutDelay.

USB-C Type Arduino Nano LED Blinking Code:

// constants won't change. Used here to set a pin number:
const int ledPin =  LED_BUILTIN;// the number of the LED pin

// Variables will change:
int ledState = LOW;             // ledState used to set the LED

// Generally, you should use "unsigned long" for variables that hold time
// The value will quickly become too large for an int to store
unsigned long previousMillis = 0;        // will store last time LED was updated

// constants won't change:
const long interval = 1000;           // interval at which to blink (milliseconds)

void setup() {
  // set the digital pin as output:
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // here is where you'd put code that needs to be running all the time.

  // check to see if it's time to blink the LED; that is, if the difference
  // between the current time and last time you blinked the LED is bigger than
  // the interval at which you want to blink the LED.
  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();

  if (currentMillis - previousMillis >= interval) {
    // save the last time you blinked the LED
    previousMillis = currentMillis;

    // if the LED is off turn it on and vice-versa:
    if (ledState == LOW) {
      ledState = HIGH;
    } else {
      ledState = LOW;
    }

    // set the LED with the ledState of the variable:
    digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);
  }
}

This is the example code which I am going to use to blink the onboard LED. To upload this program, first, you will need to select the Arduino Nano board.

Again go to the Tools menu, then to Processor, and select ATmega328P (Old Bootloader).

Again go to the Tools menu, then to Port, and select the communication port.

Finally, you can click on the Upload button.

I can already see the onboard LED is blinking. Let me show it to you.

You can support me and my channel by purchasing my Arduino Nano. Its quite affordable. If you purchase my Arduino Nano and add a product review and comment, you will have my full support.
