The Arduino Micro is the smallest board in the Arduino family, based on the ATmega32U4 with built-in USB. Its compact breadboard-friendly form factor makes it easy to integrate into everyday objects and interactive projects. Like the Leonardo, it can emulate a keyboard, mouse, or other USB HID device.

With 20 digital I/O pins, 12 analog inputs, 7 PWM channels, and a micro USB connection, the Micro has everything you need to get started — simply plug into a breadboard and connect to your computer.
