Is this a true arduino as indicated by the "by" or is it a knock-off that is not produced by arduino.

My experience is like APblackcat: it is different than my Arduino nano (it doesn't say "Arduino Nano", just Nano", and the PWR LED that is blue on the Arduino version is red, but it seems to work the same, and the workmanship is good.

Yes, it is a true, 'official' Arduino product, evidenced by the Arduino product page: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Products I would mention that Arduino is open source, and welcomes anyone to copy and improve the design; many of the so-called 'knock-offs' are quite good!

It is not manufactured by Arduino, it performs and does exactly what an official product would, but it doesn't comes with the original Arduino packing. This item is a clone version that is cheaper, and as far as I have used it, it works as it shoulds.

A good indicator is the price you're paying. The "original" Arduino Nano is manufactured by Gravitech (not by Arduino itself). There are other versions available, at different price points and quality.

Yes it will work with an arduino. You need to have a motor driver. You can get an adafruit motor driver shield for example. Lots of other motor drivers are available.

how has your luck been with this remote and the arduino? having issues here retransmitting with the arduino and would prefer not to physically hack the remote

interesting - it looks to me like the text has changed on this product. I've never seen a "Newsite Uno" before. Regardless, I definitely received an Arduino Uno, and all the pictures still indicate Arduino. Find another product if you want to be 100% positive, but I'd say it's still a safe bet to buy this. Good luck!

Some say it is original, some say it is not. It really depends on which supplier you choose. Click on "15 New" under the "See new product details" link to select the supplier. Suppliers that advertise to be "Authorized Arduino" distributors should be authentic.

I am not sure it is also made by Directed electronics. Send this question to :www.directed.com good luck

No, but there are YouTube tutorials. That's how I learned to use mine with the Arduino UNO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN_gcyWKCxY

The board I ordered from Amazon and fulfilled buy Dfunlife is a complete FAKE!! My first hint that it might be a counterfeit is the board, made in Italy, was shipped from China. I went to the Arduino web site (which I should have done before I ordered this from Amazon) and did a search on "counterfeit Arduino". It came back with a page of excellent instructions on telling counterfeits. Sure enough, there was my counterfeit. The kicker was the 501k component; it was green on my fake board. The Arduino site has a list of reputable distributers. Arduino uses some of the money from the sell of the REAL Arduino boards to support good causes. Counterfeiters just sell junk that tarnishes the reputation of good companies.

All the answers that say this is an official controller are old. Mine, received 12/1/15, is a cheap knockoff.

Yes it is. They are legit, I use plenty of different uno models and this one is genuine

Made in Italy. Correct LED color and screen printing on mine. Don't know why the other reviewers had issues, but as of June 2013 the Arduino is authentic.

Frankly, yes these are all "knockoffs" of eachother, there is no "real one"....many many manufacturers producing almost identical versions. Most of them are awesome. I suspect you were very happy with yours once you saw how it performed, but it is very likely if you ordered another one today it wouldnt be exactly alike, you'd notice tiny differences.

The transformer block appear to be genuine. If it's not, it's a fantastic imitation. I'm using it with my UX31E Zenbook right now and haven't had a single problem.

The board I received was genuine. But I could never get it to program or respond. (no, i never contacted the seller.)

Yes, these are genuine. You are right to ask, though... there are reputable stores that have sold fake versions of these (doubtless they were unaware of their lack of authenticity). I bought one from a popular online tech store at the same time I bought this one. The Amazon one was real, the other was not. I've spent the past 3 hours going over the details... there is no doubt about this unit's authenticity. (and it performs much better than the fake!)

It is the same thing as an Arduino, just smaller. You can't fit an Arduino into one of the little tins that breath mints come in; the Nano fits nicely.

Hi Rene, unfortunately I have not connected it to the Arduino Due, I used an mbed and found the drivers right on the mbed online repository. One thing to note however is that the device has separate pins for the clock and data SPI lines for both the memory card AND LCD, and for some reason they labled them the same as an I2C bus (SDA and SCL) - but they are SPI lines that get tied to each others SPI clock and data lines if you are using both devices. It's not real obvious in the data sheet, but a really nice cheap LCD for micro-controller s at a good price, just watch the pin labeling nomenclature.
