What is CT UNO?

CT UNO is the Cytron version of Arduino Uno. In other words, it is Arduino Uno
compatible with improvements. The CT UNO combines the simplicity of the UNOs
Optiboot bootloader (which loads program faster), the stability of the FTDI and the
R3shieldcompatibilityofthelatestArduinoUnoR3.

CTUNOFeatures:
SMDATmega328microcontrollerwithOptiboot(UNO)Bootloader.
USBProgrammingFacilitatedbytheUbiquitousFTDIFT231X(morestable).
Inputvoltage:DC715V.
1A(maximum)5Vvoltageregulator.
500mA(maximum)3.3Vvoltageregulator.
05Voutputswith3.3Vcompatibleinputs.
14DigitalI/OPins(6PWMoutputs).
6AnalogInputs.
ISP6pinHeader.
32kFlashMemory.
16MHzClockSpeed.
R3ShieldCompatible.
