OrangePip is a distinctive new range of open source boards that are based on the ATmega2560 and ATmega328 microcontrollers. The OrangePip boards offer a colourful introduction to coding and prototyping and are fully compatible with Arduino shields, sensors, accessories and software – giving users access to the global Arduino community of makers and projects.
The boards themselves are rich with features, including 16MHz oscillator, ATmega16u2 for serial conversion, 14x digital GPIO I/O pins (Kona328) and 54x I/O pins (Mega2560), quick reset buttons and machine screw holes. The high performance ATmega 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontrollers give OrangePip users enough power and memory to store and run multiple lines of complex code – the Kona328 being designed for beginners and Mega2560 for intermediate users.
