The Esplora board from Arduino is packed with sensors and features an ATmega 32u4 AVR microcontroller. You can also add a TFT LCD using the on-board display connector and attach TinkerKit modules using on-board input and output connectors. That's a board with options. And great for newcomers to the world of Arduino electronics.

Arduino AVR Development Boards

We have a range of Arduino boards at RS that feature an AVR ATmega microcontroller at the core. Most of the boards feature the 32u4 microcontroller with the Mega boards featuring the ATmega 2560 and the Uno/Nano boards featuring the ATmega328 microcontroller. These Arduino boards are designed to be used with Arduino IDE programming software.
