Arduino Uno R3 with USB-A to USB-B Cable

This item consists of an Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller board and a complementary USB-A to USB-B data cable. The Arduino board is characterized by its rectangular form factor, predominantly blue printed circuit board (PCB) with various electronic components soldered onto its surface. Notable components include a large square integrated circuit (microcontroller) centrally located, several smaller integrated circuits, capacitors, resistors, and multiple pin headers for connecting external circuits and shields. There is a DC power jack and a USB-B port for power and programming. The board exhibits standard Arduino Uno R3 layout, including digital pins (0-13), analog input pins (A0-A5), power pins (5V, 3.3V, GND), and an ICSP header. No significant visible wear or damage is apparent on the board, indicating good condition. The accompanying USB cable is light blue, braided, and appears to be of substantial length, offering flexibility in setup. It features a standard USB-A connector on one end and a USB-B connector on the other, designed for connecting the Arduino board to a computer. The cable appears clean with no kinks or fraying, suggesting good operational condition. The overall presentation is that of a functional, modern electronics development kit. The 'SMC Version' and 'longer data cable' from the additional context refer to specific manufacturing details or a bundled package, not visibly discernible style period or age indicators, but confirm the board's model as Uno R3 and suggest the cable is indeed longer than a typical bundled cable.
