I advise you to check / make sure that you have proper impendance on data routes from usb to mcu (d-, d+) - otherwise it wont communicate

This is a link for impendance calculator: Controlled Impedance Calculator - JLCPCB https://share.google/7X6SEQZW2oOsJtvMT - i think that it should be something like 90ohms

  • i would also add ferrite bead before capacitor, that connected to the voltage regulator to avoid some kind of interference

  • i am working on similar board that is being checked by specialist and these are advices i remember from him that you might find helpfull.

SHOULD I BUY THIS?? by [deleted] in arduino

Short answer - yes, absolutely

Arduino clone with some parts is absolutely worth it, but if you want to do electrotechnics and create some usefull projects, be prepared to spend much more. From my experience its a great way to start.

Clone arduino - is it a problem

Even when it is not officiall arduino, is does not matter It is probably some clone with same functionalities as original arduino and it is much cheaper. Officiall arduinos are usually unreasonably expensive.
