temperature - Is an Arduino Uno capable of running 24/7?



I'm curious as to the reliability and durability of the Arduino Uno.


Does anybody have experience in "killing" one due to excessive use?


If so, how long did it take for the board to fail?



Answer



I have powered the board for days at a time. The code that was running was very simple, but there was absolutely no damage. It is worth it to note that it was being powered by a pre-regulated 5v source so the on-board regulators were not burning up.


I doubt that with anything lower than 9v there could be any sort of hardware damage, but with larger voltages the on board regulators might start to get very hot.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
