Hello, I am new to microcontrollers. I am looking for a board, that can transmit data wirelesslessly, works on a LiPo battery, has enough power to light 6-8 LEDs and a temperature sensor. Access to data transmission via bluetooth? Please feel free to suggest if there my requirements are contracdictory.
Greetings. Thanks for posting on the forums.
Generally speaking, any Arduino with an ATmega328 should be able to accomplish what you are asking for as long as your LEDs do not consume too much current. The ATmega328 can source 40mA per digital I/O pin(14 total) and can do 200mA max across all digital I/O pins. If you stick with say a 15mA LED you should be fine. You could also go with a ATmeg32U4 board instead as this processor is similar enough. Both the ATmeg32U4 and ATmega328 can work with the sensors, batteries, LEDs and bluetooth module you choose to use.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have additional questions.
