Real Arduino UNO vs. Clone UNO R3 - Is the Genuine a Genu-Win??

today we are checking out a fake clone arduino uno, and comparing it to a genuine arduino uno board! I bought this clone board for about $4 online, and it turns out that this cheap arduino clone is actually pretty good!

BUY a cheap Arduino UNO R3 clone for yourself with the following links!

Overall, I've been using fake arduino uno clone boards for years now and they have always worked perfectly. If you need a spare, or dont have much money to afford a genuine arduino uno, then I definitely recommend you grab a clone like this board, as it works perfectly once you install the CH340G driver -

If you do want to support Arduino, then definitely consider purchasing one of the genuine Arduino UNO boards -

thanks for watching! ###

Thanks for watching! Bit different to my usual tech videos, but hope you enjoyed nonetheless. My Mi band 3 just arrived, so make sure to like and subscribe if you want to see that video soon!

what i like about the Arduino company, is that they make all of their product open source, so you don't have to buy the original expensive one, and it is not illegal or immoral to buy the cheap copy.

This "gay credit board" looks like a decent alternative.

Just a heads-up, the genuine Uno also has a second quartz, it's just way smaller. Usually, you have the large one for USB since it has to be pretty accurate, while the smaller one is used for the less critical CPU clock. In that regard, the clone - as long as the quartz has the level of quality of the one on the genuine board - could actually considered to be 'better', though it doesn't really make a difference.

It’s open source hardware. I think that’s legal as long as it does not use the ‘arduino’ name. Just saying.

So far the the best arduino uno clone is Maker UNO

None of them are original what you’ve presented here in your video. One is direct counterfeit and other is clone with smd atmega328 ( square shaped ). Original Arduino uno is in Arduino teal colour ( dark turquoise colour) with trade mark sign with R in a circle. The pins are defined on the female headers attached with the Arduino board and headers quality is better than the others. Counterfeit board has same colour as the clone one. They’re both dark blue. There’s a code ( A000066 ) for original Arduino uno which is found on Arduino uno packaging box.

Can you keep your hands steady ? They move too much !

[bobbyboygaming]

Can you shake the damn thing more infront of the camera please?

[indrajeetbanerjee]

Actually, both are Cloned Boards, where the 2nd one being a better clone, you can easily distinguish it by looking carefully at the Arduino Logo, & also the Original Arduino Board is of Teal Color...

[ramonedrozojr.]

Technically, both are clone. Original one is blue-green color

[mryashtourister]

Bro the ardiuno u are telling is real that is also china made orignal is green in tint and reset button is white colour

[ThisIsMySig]

Would have loved to watch this video. But the fact that you are frenetically waving these around gave me a headache! Next time maybe just lay them down!

[camasdfghjk]

But i think the 90% discount would be worth it, but id recommend buying two so you can reburn the bootloader if it brakes

[MoonFlux]

Good video, but to much hand moment shaking or pointing. Was trying to follow along.

[benjaminmcintosh]

Always good to clear your conscience by buying the genuine article 👍

[ajm]

I have ordered a pair of i12 tws and I'm doing a video on them.Can you please shout me out China Tech

[easter.bunny.]

The price locally is $2usd per board, 4 dollars can get you two of them.

"Fake" and "Clone" doesn't mean the same. Fake try to fool people to think that it is the original product. Clone doesn't try to fool you, it's just a product that has almost the same features as the original product.
I think Clones are OK and fakes Bad.

that driver saved my day! thanks a loooot
