"The Economy Air" (5$ shipping option worldwide) is currently unavailable in Australia due to the COVID crisis. On the plus side, in the expensive shipping option, you get tracking information on your order. When "The Economy Air" option returns in AUSPOST we will make the cheap shipping option available again. More details can be found here

The item does not ship with the header soldered. You have to solder the header pins yourself.

What is it?

This is an Arduino pro mini clone with a built in color LCD display. It makes life easier for any project that requires information to show. It features a atmega328 microcontroller with 32K flash, 2 of RAM, a 1.8″ 160×128 pixel color LCD screen. I have developed the LCD library. It only requires 4kb flash memory and the library can draw texts, lines, rectangles, circles etc.

Why did you make it?

I love displays. It looks like a mess when I connect a display on the breadboard. I have also labelled the IIC pins (SCA and SDA) for connecting all the IIC modules available on the market. The power, TX, RX and DTR pins are arranged in a way to make the CP2012 modules connection super easy. You can also use the monoView Programmer (USB to Serial port) to program. Refer to the photos for connection infromation.

You can make wearables, display data of sensors, make a mini photo frame and many more.

Programming?

Select "Arduino Pro mini" and "3.3V 8Mhz" from the tools menu and you are good to go.

you can download the library here: monoViewColor

What makes it special?

It makes your project neat and clean on the breadboard.
