Summary of Smallest Arduino Compatible Board
The BareDuino Nano is the world's smallest Arduino-compatible board, designed by 15-year-old Niek Blankers. Created to fit student budgets and enable easy prototyping, it represents a miniaturized evolution of his earlier "BareDuino Classic." The project emphasizes low-cost, bare-bones electronics for hobbyists looking to start small.
Parts used in the BareDuino Nano:
- BareDuino Nano board
- Arduino compatible components
- BareDuino Classic (previous version)
The BareDuino Nano is the world’s smallest Arduino compatible board. It was designed by a very young maker, Niek Blankers, aged 15, from the Netherlands.
Niek has been interested in electronics since he was less than 8 years old. A couple of years ago when he was given the first Arduino board, he fell in love with it immediately. Since he was on a student budget, he couldn’t afford to leave an actual Arduino into his projects, so he designed the low-budget, bare-bones Arduino, aka BareDuino, which he made some videos of:

After completing the BareDuino Classic, he set himself the challenge to make it smaller. Needless to say he succeeded. His latest board, the BareDuino Nano contains everything needed to get started and allows for easy prototyping.
Looking forward to seeing the BareDuino Nano serve your cool projects! Enjoy making!
