Default Arduino nano question

I have a project that specifies an Arduino Nano device, now I search Amazon and find dozens of devices all seem to state Arduino (or compatible). I would actually like "kit" that would have the microprocessor and the display, but I am confused by some of the terminology being used. The attached PDF document has all of the details I have on this project.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

your asking if a knock off Arduino micro controller would work? I haven't had issues with them.

Actually, there appear to be 2 or 3 "versions" of the Arduino the appear to be the same as the Nano but do not have the nano designation that is why I included the documentation, these do not appear to have actual part numbers.

A great resource for this might be the Hands on Tech club HANDSONTECH.ORG - The Villages Hands-On Tech Club They do a lot with those. I only dabble in them for lighting and motor control.

I think they are looking for a micro controller with the ATmega328 and a lcd that uses I2C communication. Like GpaVader, I only dabble.

The Arduino pinout in your diagram is the same as the original Arduino Classic. The later versions all have a suffix after “Arduino Nano” like “Every” or “33 BLE” or “33 BLE Sense” or “33 ioT” or “ESP 32” or “RO2040 Connect”

This is the Amazon link for your version:

Amazon.com

There are some very inexpensive 3d printed enclosures available on etsy for these. Here is one:

Don’t know what you’re doing for your product. I was a Morse Code Operator and Instructor while in the USAF. Fantastic job. Over 50 percent of my students were left handed.
