Who is the intended user for this board?

Practitioners and developers seeking a development board with a 32-bit microcontroller for Advanced prototyping.

Does it work with the Arduino Shields?

Yes, the Due board works with all available Arduino Shields that run at 3.3V and are compliant with the 1.0 Arduino pinout:
- TWI: SDA and SCL pins that are near to the AREF pin.
- IOREF: allows an attached shield with the proper configuration to adapt to the voltage provided by the board. This enables shield compatibility with a 3.3V board like the Due and AVR-based boards which operate at 5V.
- An unconnected pin, reserved for future use.

Arduino ARM Development Boards

We have a range of Arduino boards at RS that feature a 32-bit ARM microcontroller at the core. The Due with a SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 and the M0/M0 Pro with a SAMD21G18 ARM Cortex-M0.

Warning

the Arduino Due board runs at 3.3V (which is different to most other Arduino boards). Applying voltages higher than 3.3V to any I/O pin may cause damage.
