Arduino Uno is a popular microcontroller development board based on 8-bit ATmega328P

microcontroller. Along with ATmega328P MCU IC, it consists other components such as
crystal oscillator, serial communication, voltage regulator, etc. to support the microcontroller.

Difference between Arduino UNO and Arduino Nano

The Arduino Nano is very much similar to the Arduino UNO. They use the same

Processor (Atmega328p) and hence they both can share the same program. One big

difference between both is the size. UNO is twice as big as Nano and hence

occupies more space on your project. Also, Nano is breadboard friendly while Uno is

not. To program an Uno, you need a Regular USB cable; whereas for Nano, you will
 need a mini USB cable. The technical difference between Uno and Nano is shown
