UNO R4: The brand new dimension of creating

The revolutionary UNO R4, introduced on Arduino Day, is now accessible on the Arduino Retailer!

The fourth model of the enduring, beloved UNO provides a complete new dimension to the world of DIY and making revolutionized by the straightforward 8-bit microcontroller over a decade in the past. Take your maker potential to new heights: UNO R4 has a speedy 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 and affords a 16-fold enhance in reminiscence, in addition to extra connectors and connectivity choices than ever – in two variants: UNO R4 Minima and UNO R4 WiFi. 

What’s within the new UNO?

Each variants assist you to begin making or simply improve UNO R3-based initiatives with extra computational energy, reminiscence, and pace than earlier variations – courtesy of the RA4M1 microcontroller by Renesas – whereas sustaining the identical kind issue and 5V working voltage. 

• Extra reminiscence and sooner clock: A 16x enhance in reminiscence and 3x the clock pace imply the UNO R4 can carry out extra exact calculations and deal with extra advanced and complicated initiatives than ever.
• New built-in peripherals: Amongst a number of thrilling new peripherals, you get a 12-bit DAC, CAN BUS, OP AMP, and SWD port – every one increasing your maker potential, permitting you to simply deal with more and more superior initiatives.
• A USB-C® Connector: Embracing the smaller, extra highly effective, and sturdy cable normal!
• An HID system: This characteristic makes interactive initiatives 1,000,000 instances cooler, permitting you to create interfaces with minimal effort and very quickly.

You may get began in your subsequent automation or audio venture with the UNO R4 Minima – a high choose for first-time makers, with its mixture of highly effective expertise and reasonably priced worth – or you may go for the UNO R4 WiFi for those who want extra particular options.

Hook up with your internal creativity with the UNO R4 WiFi

The UNO R4 WiFi variant is ideal for all customers, from inexperienced persons to specialists, desirous to discover the forefront of innovation. This full-fledged board options an ESP32-S3 coprocessor that handles Wi-Fi^® and Bluetooth^® Low Vitality connectivity, so the RA4M1 microcontroller can concentrate on different duties. On high of all of the options within the Minima variant, it affords:

• Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity, plus Cloud-compatibility: construct IoT initiatives, create interactive dashboard and management your venture remotely.
• A 12×8 LED matrix: think about engaged on a inventive venture utilizing animations or plotting sensor knowledge, with none extra {hardware}!
• A Qwiic connector to facilitate fast prototyping: due to all kinds of suitable modules that may be related over I2C, you may simply create customized initiatives and increase the capabilities of your UNO R4 WiFi.
• A built-in mechanism that detects operations which may trigger a crash: if it catches errors comparable to a division by zero, the board stops them earlier than they’ll trigger bother and gives an in depth clarification on the serial monitor

“The Arduino ecosystem has advanced, over the past 20 years, due to the highly effective concept of open supply and the stellar group of 30+ million makers who maintain sharing, constructing, and enhancing. Each new {hardware} product, each new software program resolution has added new worlds – able to welcome everybody. Now, the UNO R4 takes the ecosystem and the group to a brand new dimension of efficiency.”

– Massimo Banzi, Arduino co-founder

So, for those who’re simply starting your Arduino journey, the discharge of the UNO R4 makes it a good time to start out!

Already an UNO fan? The UNO R4 makes it simple to port current shields and initiatives to a complete new stage, and chosen contributors are already serving to us replace UNO R3 libraries. 

A ultimate large thanks goes to our group and early adopters, who’ve supported us these previous few months by contributing their efforts to porting libraries.

What are you ready for?
