About this product
The Arduino Esplora is a microcontroller board derived from the Arduino Leonardo, built around the ATmega32U4 with a 16 MHz crystal. It has onboard sensors for a joystick, slider, temperature, accelerometer, microphone and light, plus sound and light outputs. Two TinkerKit connectors and a TFT LCD socket allow expansion for interactive projects.

Frequently asked questions
Is it compatible with standard Arduino Uno shields?
The Esplora does not use the standard Uno header layout. It relies on TinkerKit connectors and a TFT socket, so do not assume Uno shields will fit. Check the pin layout before buying accessories.
What software do I need to program it?
Use the Arduino IDE, select Arduino Esplora as the board, and use the Esplora library to access the onboard sensors and outputs.
