CH340G okay for sensors?

[Joakim Johansson]

Hi!

Just built my first sensor yesterday with a arduino UNO. I am now picking components from E-bay. I'm noticing that there is a cheaper nano with CH340G chipset. Will they work just as well for me?

I got a bunch of CH340G UNOs, some CH340G Nanos and some CH340G USB-serial converters (for use with Arduino Pro Mini ). Since i bought them (maybe 2015) until today they worked flawless under Windows 7, Windows 10 and Ubuntu (various versions). No trouble with drivers or similar.

I'm using a ch340g usb-serial adapter for pro minis. No problem on Win7 and Linux Mint so far.
