Will i receive an arduino uno or a newsite uno? And is there a difference?

I don't know too much about the difference, but I hope this helps.http://arduino.cc/en/Products/Counterfeit

Genuine Arduino. There is no Uno other than an Arduino Uno. There is a Raspberry PI which is another a maker of an Uno type product, but if says Arduino, it's Arduino. Be sure to inventory all the components in the starter kit.;)

I'd go with the Yn. You can have it host a web page that allows you to control the Arduino's IO. Worse case you can always use it like a basic Arduino. Just make sure you have enough IO for your need.

I would hold off. As someone that works with advanced students (elementary/middle school math teams) the very earliest I would introduce arduino would be 5th or 6th grade

Yep. You connect one side to the arduino and the other to you computer and it will power the uno and send the program to it.

I'm not sure ... I'm hoping that it mates seamlessly with the Rainbowduino.

This is just the basic board, no power or usb cable. The one i got was real made in italy. It was delivered just as pictured. Notice the www.arduino.cc Made in Italy just above the CPU. BTW also got a made in china one and have had good luck with that using the Arduino IDE.

Buyer beware, if it doesn't say Arduino on the device it's a knockoff. The crappy knockoff will not work with all versions of Windows without some driver issues. I had trouble with mine on Win 7 64bit I was only able to upload sketch programs twice, now it will not properly recognize the module at all in Windows, like the driver just disappears from the device manager as well as on the device itself. Some results vary with device version according to forums, but I recommend spending the extra $15 or so for the legitimate Arduino Nano module. It just works like it's supposed to. As far as I know there's no fix as of yet for the knockoff versions. Buyer beware, if it doesn't say Arduino on the device it's a knockoff.

Contrary to the description in the ad, the seller is shipping the LIGHTNING compatible version, NOT the 30 pin. I have pointed this out to Amazon and the seller, but neither has bothered to change the ad.

Yes, this board almost works out-of-the-box with any Arduino, including the UNO, and any device capable of UART/USART communication. Be careful though. Power can be supplied using either a 3.3v or 5v source, but the RX and TX pins should only use 3.3v logic signals. The thing won't blow up on the first time you try to send a 5v signal, just do not do it any ways. Get a Logic Level Converter, learn how to make a voltage divider circuit, or how to use a transistor to do so instead. BTW these things are awesome. Get a simple terminal app for android and it will pair right up. Yes, this board almost works out-of-the-box with any Arduino, including the UNO, and any device capable of UART/USART communication.

CanaKit was great, but Vilros was better and is no longer available. Radio Shack is going out of the market and sale-ing its arduinos great! While available... When you say the board was fake, does it mean it did not function? At all, partially, sporadically, unrealiable, broke down, went burnt, burned the chip only...? Or you did not know the math to make sensors like photoresistors work adequately? I do not think it is completely against the interest of the royalty owners to have alternate sellers discouraged, unless they sell complete crap.

Best to check out differences on the Arduino web site. As mentioned, it is freeware, so anyone can produce it. Quality may not be up to the Arduino standard, and Arduino does not benefit from the purchase of second party products. Price and functionality are a positive.

Same as nano but usb drivers are different so it isn't as straightforward as the micro if you're used to using other Arduino stuff. Once you get the driver working, it behaves the same.It also doesn't have the MISO/MOSI pins at the very end (opposite end of the USB connector) but that didn't matter to my application.

It should be no problemo even if you're a complete beginner, what you should really buy in addition to this is "arduino workshop", this book explains really well how to use the arduino language (low-level C) .

I am not 100% sure, but I do not why not. I can not see a difference in functionality between the UNO and a nano, there are just minor differences in capacity (ex. Communication speed).

The quick answer as a fairly new guy to all of this is "I Don't Know", BUT - I have recently been sneaking around Adafruit's website www*adafruit*com and they have one for under $6. The Duemilanove is the 2009 version of an Arduino which isn't an UNO version 3. The Adafruit part claims to work in all of them, so it may help to give it a shot. Again, I'm pretty new at all of this so you might get a better answer elsewhere!

Sketches will not typically have to be modified; however the way Galileo provides Arduino compatibility has caveats. The Arduino I/O is done through SMBus I/O expanders and as such, the Galileo is emulating the Arduino I/O.
