Ideal for makers and tech enthusiasts, this kit provides the foundation for endless possibilities in electronics. ## Description Need lots of Arduino compatible controllers, but don't need the price tag that comes with a full development platform? This handy little kit is perfect for anyone who is experienced with the Arduino platform, and needs to include a lot more of them in his/her next project. Make a project on a breadboard, tie as many ATMEGA328's together as you need to. The sky is the limit, and you don't have to buy in bulk to get a great deal! The Bareduino328 Plus gives the added bonus of allowing you to power off an external rail without risk to your Bareduino and other 5 Volt devices. Package Contents: 1 x P-DIP ATMEGA328P-PU programmed with Duemilanove Bootloader 3 x Through-Hole 22pF Capacitors (2 for crystal and 1 for Analog power smoothing) 1 x Through-Hole HC-49S 16 MHz Crystal (for clock) 1 x 5 Volt regulator (peak current 2 A, nominal ) ->(L7805ACP Input Voltage = 7.5 to 18 V Output Voltage Low 4.8 Volts Nominal 5 Volts High 5.2 Volts) 1 x 22 uF Capacitor (to stabilize power rail during rapid current draw.) Key Features: Lower the cost and size of your next project Ideal for minimalistic deployments easily tie multiple controllers together to perform more complex tasks than possible with a single Microcontroller Greatly simplifies the process of adding power to your device, and allows user to safely draw greater current if needed. ## Features - All the bare necesities to make an Arduino Compatible microcontroller with a regulated power rail! (Breadboard not included) - Includes a bootloaded ATMEGA328P-PU, 16 MHz Crystal, 3 22pF Caps, a 22K ohm resistor, an L7805ACP Voltage regulator, and a 22 uF Brownout protection Capacitor. - Instructions, guides, and examples Available from Virtuabotix. - Add microcontrollers to everything, it's fun! - Use your regulated power rail to run as much a 1 Amp Bareduinos or other 5 Volt devices. ## Images ![Virtuabotix Bareduino Plus- Arduino Compatible Microcontroller with Power Regulator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818EtTc1SNL.jpg) ![Virtuabotix Bareduino Plus- Arduino Compatible Microcontroller with Power Regulator - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wvP9k+-XL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Should have gotten the basic version *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on December 22, 2012* I got the Bareduino with Power Regulator. Everything works great, and I was able to program it by both plugging it into the Arduino Uno board I have, and also by connecting some wires from the Uno board to this one. I only had to change my settings in the Arduino IDE to treat it as a "duemilanove", and then the sketches uploaded without any problems.The power regulator I felt was a waste. Maybe it is fine for really simple things that you don't plan to keep plugged in all the time, but if you are having to drop some serious voltage down to 5V (I am using 12V power, which is in the working range of the regulator) and you plan on keeping it plugged in for long, I would skip out on this. You should get a Buck Converter instead. Buck Converters are ~95% efficient. The Power Regulator is about 40% efficient at 12V. That can mean a lot of heat. I nearly burned my fingers when touching the regulator, and it was only controlling the Arduino and 3 other chips.Overall: Great kit, very economical, works well. Just wish I had spent $3 on a Buck Converter instead of $1 on the Power Regulator upgrade. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Neat product, Great Support *by P***R on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on July 15, 2013* I have purchased several Bareduino's. My son and I have had lots of fun assembling them and using them. With a perfboard (not included) you can build a rather useful portable computer that runs on common batteries.The company provides great support, including replacement parts as need be. We had quite a few questions reflecting our limited knowledge of electronics. The company answered them all and we have since built many Bareduino's.A few useful notes. You will need a breadboard and plug wires (not included) to build test Bareduino's. More permanent versions can be constructed using a perfboard and a soldering iron. Once you have a constructed a Bareduino, you can program it with three wires (TX, RC, and reset) and an Arduino. The Arduino platform has many, many (free) libraries that can be used with a Bareduino.I would also suggest obtaining a multimeter before starting any project of this kind.Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Fun *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on June 29, 2013* I'm very happy I bought this - just for the experience of putting together a fully functional Arduino from a fairly simple kit. I followed the instructions on Virtualbotix website and referred back to the schematic that came with the kit. I used the regulator and a 9 volt battery to run the board. Since the 'up charge' for the regulator was what I would have paid for the regulator chip alone at Radio Shack, I'm good with buying the version I did.Instead of anything fancy, I uploaded my sketches using a $5 DB9 Serial to terminal strip TTL converter. Pretty sure that I didn't change any voltage levels, but it sure made making the proto board connections easier. Send, Receive, Vcc, ground.This is so cool that I wished I would have bought a few more. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3994884-virtuabotix-bareduino-plus-arduino-compatible-microcontroller-with-power-regulator](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3994884-virtuabotix-bareduino-plus-arduino-compatible-microcontroller-with-power-regulator) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
