All official Arduino boards are carefully designed boards with individual unique features. One of the feature that we were looking for was low power consumption. Mini Ultra 8 MHz was designed to fill this void. We also came out with an Arduino compatible low power library to allow flexible low power management of the board. If your next project needs to run on battery or without main power, this is the board you might want to consider! Supporting carrier and application specific boards are coming soon!
