“Arduino compatible” is often also used to refer to the structure of the pins. This one claims to be “Breadboard compatible.”

- veemjeem 13y agois it? the attiny85 is still marketed as being arduino compatible, but with only 6 i/o pins, it is nothing like any other arduino product.
- mikeash 13y agoThey appear to mean compatible with breadboards (i.e. you can attach pins to it with standard spacing), not some sort of hardware form factor similarity. "Arduino compatible" refers to the structure of the pins for external accessory hardware, but not for actual microcontrollers, which is what this is. They also clarify a bit farther that they are, in fact, referring to software compatibility: ARDUINO COMPATIBLE NavSpark is designed to run Wiring, the same simple code as the Arduino platform. There is no need to learn any new programming language or environment. Your standard Arduino sketches run on NavSpark.
