Arduino Due is the original 32-bit powerhouse in the Arduino lineup—built on the Atmel SAM3X8E (Arm® Cortex®-M3) running at 84 MHz. With 54 digital I/O, 12 PWM, 12 analog inputs (12-bit), and two 12-bit DAC outputs, it excels at fast control, data acquisition, and audio-capable projects. The Due keeps the familiar Mega footprint, adds **dual micro-USB ports** (native & programming), and uses **3.3 V logic** for modern peripherals—great for labs, robots, and embedded prototypes in the Philippines.

32-Bit Speed, Dual USB, Pro-Level I/O — In the Classic Mega Footprint

• Real 32-bit performance: 84 MHz Cortex-M3 for responsive UIs, faster control loops, and heavy libraries.
• Dual USB: program via the Programming port or use the Native USB (OTG) for HID, MIDI, MSC, or device/host applications.
• Precision analog: 12-bit ADC on 12 channels + dual 12-bit DACs for audio waveforms and reference outputs.
• Plenty of I/O: 54 digital pins, 12 PWM, multiple serial/I²C/SPI buses for complex builds.
• Mega/Due ecosystem: same footprint as Mega; wide library support and accessory compatibility (mind the 3.3 V logic).

What you can build

• Robotics & motion: multi-axis motor control, encoders, IMUs, ToF sensors with high-rate loops
• Audio & synthesis: tone generation and basic wave playback via the dual DACs + class-D amp
• DAQ & lab tools: 12-bit analog capture, filtering, and logging to microSD/RTC
• USB devices: HID keyboards/mice, MIDI controllers, mass-storage gadgets on the Native USB (OTG)
• Networked projects: add Ethernet (W5500) or Wi-Fi modules for dashboards and remote control
