Mouser now stocks the newest products and solutions from Arduino, a global leader in open-source hardware and software. Arduino products are designed from inception to provide an accessible platform and ecosystem for creativity and innovation. Arduino's solutions offer a powerful answer to the talent shortage in engineering and break free from vendor lock-in with a robust line of open-source products enabling IoT, automation, Industry 4.0, and machine learning at the edge.

The following are just a few of the company's popular products available:

The Nano Matter (ABX00112) combines Arduino's user-friendly approach with the powerful MGM240S multi-protocol module from Silicon Labs. The Nano Matter's versatile connectivity options, including Bluetooth Low Energy and OpenThread, make it excellent for projects needing low-power efficiency and broad connectivity. This enables makers and professionals to work with Matter, an emerging standard for IoT devices, while taking advantage of the Nano's low-power and compact design.

The Pro Opta Ext D1608x is designed to improve the Arduino Opta micro PLC by adding 16 programmable voltage inputs and eight electromechanical relays to operate automation applications. The D1608x seamlessly manages the I/Os from the Opta base unit, taking advantage of the company's open and widely known ecosystem or PLC IDE IEC 61131-3 programming environment.

The Arduino Pro 4G module is a turnkey solution for adding fast, reliable 4G connectivity to applications such as smart city infrastructure, industrial automation, and more. The module connects devices through Arduino Cloud, simplifying error analysis, firmware updates, and remote maintenance. The global variant of the module also offers GNSS capability, making it excellent for fleet management and asset tracking. The module is compatible with the company's Portenta Mid (ASX00055) and Portenta Max (ABX00043) carrier boards.

The UNO R4 MCU board, powered by a Renesas 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4 processor, provides an excellent prototyping and embedded platform for a wide range of IoT and industrial applications. With a wide variety of compatible modules that can be connected via the Qwiic I2C connector, combined with the large ecosystem of shields for UNO already in the market, the UNO R4 provides an unprecedented plug-and-play experience that enables the creation of projects without soldering, breadboards or manual wiring.
