Learning about Arduino and how microcontrollers work is quite an enjoyable challenge, but as any experienced Electronics Maker will know, it’s not necessarily easy, but this is precisely what makes it so rewarding when you finally get your first couple of projects working in just the right way. However, while we must admit that we do enjoy the challenge that learning about Arduino brings, we also feel that it could be much easier, especially if we want more Makers to take up the hobby and get involved in creating awesome projects. This is why we often jump at the opportunity for goodies like the RGBDuino UNO V1.2 Jenny, as this fun little board is designed to act just like an original Arduino UNO, but has been enhanced with some extra features that make it both easier to use than normal, as well as more enjoyable to work with.
Compared to a standard Arduino UNO R3, the UNO Jenny offers a few really cool improvements that really enhance the functionality of the standard UNO design, as well as a few minor upgrades that simply add to the convenience and ease of use of the board as well. So let’s take a quick look at some of these key features that we like the most:
As you may notice, the RGBDuino Jenny is extremely similar to a standard Arduino UNO R3, but of course offers a load of minor and major extras that really help users understand more about Arduino and coding without committing to actual prototyping. This makes it an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to learn, but also for veterans who may be able to take advantage of all of these extras for their own projects. And in terms of value for money, these Arduino Boards are actually very affordable given the extra part count and clever design work that has gone into them, and whether you’re just starting out, are looking to advance your skills, or simply like the idea of integrated components on your Arduino, we recommend that anyone and everyone should take advantage of this clever and well-engineered RGBDuino Jenny.
Please Note: Because of the unique design and use of the CH340G IC to interface with the ATMega328P MCU, this board will require CH340G drivers, which can be found in the GitHub page listed at the bottom in the “Additional Resources” section.

Finally if you want to see a fun visual demonstration of what these boards are capable of, check out the following RGBDuino Review by Another Maker. Bear in mind that, while he is reviewing the Duck variation of the board, both the Duck and the Jenny variants behave in exactly the same way. Rest assured, however, that we will hopefully be getting the Duck version in soon, but until then we do think the Jenny is a nice board, even if it doesn’t quite match the style of all users:

As one of the rising stars in the world of 3D Printer Component Research and Development, BigTreeTech have certainly hit the ground running, entering the market in 2015 and spending their early stages primarily learning, researching, testing and developing, before producing some truly impressive results. From simple but effective upgrades to standard parts, all the way through to completely custom parts that no other brand offered at the time, BigTreeTech now have an incredibly diverse range, with almost no area of 3D Printing being left out.
Some of BigTreeTech’s most notable additions to the world of 3D Printing include the SKR Motherboard Range for numerous different 3D Printer models, the awesome TFT Touch Display Range with fancy features like dual-mode operation, as well as their very impressive Stepper Driver Range that cater to all tastes and preferences under the sun. And of course, to top it all off, BigTreeTech also have a sister company named BIQU, and we must admit that they have been producing some pretty impressive (and low price) 3D Printers, with the BIQU B1 possibly becoming a new rival to the Ender 3.
Of course, it’s easy to see that BigTreeTech are modern masters of 3D Printing R&D, and while we do still have a lot of different parts that we want to test out from them, so far we’ve been extremely happy with what they’re capable of producing – all while fitting into same kind of hobbyist budget that they used to operate on as Makers and Tinkerers themselves.
