FAQ
Which board should I choose if I’m totally new?
Start with an Arduino Uno or Nano. They’re widely used in tutorials, easy to wire, and very forgiving for beginners.
What if I need Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
Go for an ESP32 dev board or Pico W. These have built-in connectivity and work well with popular IoT platforms and dashboards.
Can I mix boards in one project?
Yes. You can use an ESP32 for connectivity and an Arduino or STM32 for real-time control, as long as they share a common ground and compatible signal levels.
Are these boards safe for classroom use?
Yes—development boards here are widely used in schools, universities, and workshops in the Philippines, especially together with basic sensors, LEDs, and motors.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Circuitrocks ships development boards and accessories anywhere in the Philippines, with fast handling for in-stock items.
