About Us
We are a family business on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Since creativity is central in successful problem solving, we want to provide fun and educational products that stimulate the creative spirit of STEM/STEAM students, and hobbyists of all ages.
Our commitment to quality: Students new to programming and working with electronic circuits need straightforward first experiences to boost their confidence and inspire them to learn more. With polarized connectors and sturdy circuitry, Heron Circuits microcontroller products behave as expected when used by beginners. The Proboard 328P is a great place to start! We believe you will be as happy with our products as we are.
Advanced projects: Later, when you need to expand into more advanced projects, explore the capabilities of our other microcontroller-based systems. The Proboard PB uses an ATmega328PB processor which has hardware functions not available in the ATmega328P used in Arduino Unos. If you have a need to work with CircuitPython, a Proboard 21J can make working with CircuitPython ultra simple while working in an astonishingly small footprint.
Our commitment to the environment: The electronics industry is not well known for environmental friendliness, so we work harder to use sustainable packaging wherever possible. We also donate a percentage of all profits to wildlife and habitat conservation.
Check out the BirdLife International link below for fascinating videos and articles by folks who are working to keep the world's bird habitats plentiful and safe. If we make the world safe for all the birds (including the Herons), we will be making it safe for ourselves and generations of children.
