Review: Works without problems - Very small profile, works very well
Review: Brilliant bit of kit can be programmed so easily - This is probably the easiest device of its type I've ever used, such a great library of code samples make it a doddle to cut and paste code to get this to do complex stuff quickly.

## Features

- ATmega32U4 Microcontroller: Powered by the ATmega32U4, the Arduino Micro offers 32KB of flash memory, 2.5KB of SRAM, and 1KB of EEPROM, providing sufficient resources for advanced applications.
- Integrated USB Interface: The onboard USB interface allows the board to communicate directly with a PC or act as a USB device (keyboard, mouse, etc.), utilizing the native USB functionality of the ATmega32U4.
- Full Arduino IDE Compatibility: Easily program the Arduino Micro through the Arduino IDE with a simple USB connection, supporting libraries, sketches, and a wide range of shields designed for Arduino platforms.
- Compact, Breadboard-Friendly Design: Measuring just 1.8" x 0.7", the Arduino Micro is ideal for tight spaces and breadboard integration, offering 20 digital I/O pins (7 PWM outputs and 12 analog inputs).
- Pre-Soldered Headers for Easy Integration: Equipped with pre-soldered male headers, the Arduino Micro simplifies integration with external circuits, sensors, and modules, reducing assembly time and effort for developers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'd like to dd a GPS module to this, which is the smallest and best option I hve?**
A: Look into Adafruit GPS modules compatible with the arduino. I know they have shield GPS modules for the uno so you can probably find an unshielded version to use on the micro. Basically go to adafruit.com and take a look. They also helped design the micro so best chance for compatibility.

**Q: What are the dimensions (and weight) of the board?  Amazon only seems to list the packaging dimensions.**
A: From the Arduino web sitec  http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMicro   "The maximum length and width of the Micro PCB are 4.8cm and 1.77cm respectively, with the USB connector extending beyond the former dimension."  Height about 20mm (defined by header pins) Weight 7 g. Also check out the Nano board.

**Q: does it have the I2C bus ?**
A: Hi, yes!  Here is a tutorial with more info: http://tronixstuff.com/2010/10/20/tutorial-arduino-and-the-i2c-bus/

**Q: is this as powerful as the Arduino mega?**
A: Simply, no. But powerful for its small size.

*by R***M on 2 December 2014*

Is it the genuine article? Yes it is, as far as I can tell. Much easier to use with a breadboard than my Leonardo. it just plugs in. A lot of functionality for a very good price. Much better value than the old BASIC Stamps I used before.
