LOW POWER
duinoPRO is designed to enable
you to create low-power, batteryoperated products. It operates on a
wide range of input voltages from
3 to 15V, and comes in two
versions - the UNO, based on the
Atmel®
ATMega328P processor (as
used in the Arduino Uno); and the
DUE, based on the

is designed with commercialization of real products in
mind. With a superior IO setup to the current Arduino™
shield system, low-power design, potential for
upgrading firmware in the field, a simple path to gaining
the necessary approvals for selling into various world
markets, and the ability to machine solder the surfacemount modules for reliable production in volume,
duinoPRO is made for taking your project to production.

* We have designed duinoPRO to be compatible with the Arduino™ IDE. This does not imply that duinoPRO is certified, tested or endorsed by ArduinoTM in any way.
An Online Ordering and Customization Service
For more information, visit:
A critical part of the duinoPRO eco-system is an online service providing customers with access to ordering
duinopro.cc
!
customized versions of duinoPRO, and additional services required to create a real product.
And follow us:
Using a simple web interface customers have the opportunity to choose how they customize duinoPRO to suit their

project or product. Choose the modules required for your application, and where on the board they should be

placed. duinoPRO has been carefully designed to allow placement of more than one of the same module, a feature
that isn’t available with the original Arduino™ IO setup. When larger production quantities are required choose our
“sinking service” to have your module layout “sunk” onto a single printed circuit board, for lower unit cost and
greater reliability. As part of this service, choose the colour of the printed circuit board, place your product logo on
the silkscreen or choose not to fit some more expensive and unnecessary components.
