Microcontrollers
There are few inventions in the field of electronics that have influenced its development as strongly as microcontrollers. The first milestone was certainly the replacement of electron tubes with transistors and semiconductor diodes. It initiated a series of key changes for the entire development of electronics. One of the characteristics of this technological leap forward was the progressive miniaturization of electronic circuits and increasing their capabilities. This in turn made it possible to introduce integrated circuits that evolved from analogue to digital. It was the digital integrated circuits that enabled the creation of microcontrollers, which are now the basis for most of the devices we use on a daily basis. In our Botland shop we have prepared many types of microcontrollers from all the best known manufacturers. We still make every effort to expand our list with products that are of the highest quality and at an affordable price. If you have any questions, please contact our technical department, which will be more than happy to help you.

Microcontrollers - FAQ
A microcontroller is a "compressed" microcomputer used to control the functions of systems embedded in office machines, robots, home appliances, motor vehicles and smart home systems. A microcontroller consists of elements such as memory, peripheral devices and - most importantly - the processor.
In our opinion, it is undoubtedly Arduino Uno Rev3 . If you are interested in microcontrollers, you have almost certainly heard of Arduino . The company popularized open-source hobby hardware by offering a range of development boards and an independent, accessible programming environment (Arduino IDE) for coding them.
In short: Arduino itself is not a microcontroller, but a microcontroller board that has its own IDE (development environment) and comes with ready-made, tested software and hardware libraries. All Arduino boards have one thing in common, which is having a microcontroller.
NO. This is a common, false assumption. The main difference between a microprocessor and a microcontroller is that a microprocessor consists only of a central processing unit, while a microcontroller contains a processor, memory and inputs/outputs integrated in one chip.
