Say Hello To The New Arduino Uno R4 WiFi

Welcome to the world of the new Arduino Uno R4 WiFi! This video will introduce you to the latest addition to the Arduino family. Just like its predecessor, the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi is packed with features that will make your digital and analog electronics projects even more exciting.

This board comes with a Renesas ARM processor and an internal real-time clock, Unlike like the Arduino Uno we used to build a clock in our previous video. But, what sets this one apart is its built-in WiFi capability! Yes, you heard it right. Now you can connect your projects to the internet and take them to the next level.

So, if you're looking to upgrade your Arduino Uno or just starting with microcontrollers, this video is the perfect place to start. We'll unbox the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi, run through its features, and even do a quick project to show you how easy it is to use.

Happy New Year, Paul! Awesome video. Looking forward to projects to come.

[melplishka]

Wow awesome, I’m really excited to retry this board for auto mods. This is a complete game changer. Ty Paul for sharing this one. Happy new years to you and the fam buddy.

[mschwage]

Happy new year. Thanks for the overview of what looks like an awesome board.

[dunanub]

I mean you could just use an esp32 s3, what dou you need the rest for ?

[tvtoms]

Awesome stuff! Thanks for the write up and first look at this R4 board. Happy New Year as well.

[ericwhite]

Happy New year, hope you finally got all the money for the channel sorted out and actually started to get paid for your content. Thanks for the hard work.

[blazingtrailsrc]

this is the first uno board that made me want one i think most of the time i just a use a nano but this is awesome

[StevePilgrim]

Excellent review & intro! Happy New Year!🎉

[bblod]

Happy New Year Paul, Blake and Doggly.
Neat little computer. I'll stick to hardware, you can build the software 😎
☮️ brother.

Nice there’s analog out and an opamp though there’s not a ton of audio that can be done with one opamp. Wifi is great, that’s helpful being built in. Don’t really need the display, wish that space could be repurposed as a prototype area.

I think it is weird that everything is getting an ESP32 bolted to it just for wifi. What is the point of having a low power arduino with a wifi module that has more power in the co-processor as your main mcu. It loses what made the UNO an UNO. A wifi uno should be an ATmega with a wifi chip.

[cheetahkid]

No, you are awesome, well done getting the 100, 000 subs UT trophy.

Happy New Year 🎉🎉 Paul. I just wanted to point out that the ARM chip is a Renesas chip.

I still have 3 of the R3 versions and a stepper motor daughter board to stack on one of them. They were limited because of memory and speed for more advanced cnc projects but price wise a super bargain.

I have many more of the esp32 style boards which are even cheaper, faster and have a form factor that works great on bread boards.

This R4 will probably be put out in the mini format down the road.

I wish they would have added a small display instead of the LED array.

We think alike as I too was thinking it's now got the power of a tinsy for audio stuff.

I think we could program digital versions of effects pedals into these and build them into guitar effects pedals.

These could also be used with stepper drive boards to run cnc machines and 3d printers.

It sounds like it's got far more processor than pins to take advantage of all that power but they were trying to maintain form factor for backwards replacement capability. Everything has it's compromises.

it sadly doesnt have i2s, which would have been waaay greater for audio. the esp32 can, but they didnt give it pins for the i2s on that either so, its okay but not the go to.
then id go with the wroom esp32 or stm32 or teensy i guess. but i love this board, great tinkerer

I have the R4 Minima, not really an issue but it takes about 3-4 times as long to ship out sketches compared to the R3, any ideas why?

"You can see the matric commands work by....just using the matrix."
EEGADS! Where have I heard that before ?

[SomeGuyInSandy]

If they do this to the Mega I'm there! Have a great 2024!

[damainx]

is it too hard to add an on / off button!

[ChipGuy]

I like the idea of a beefy ARM MCU on an Arduino, but there is a lot stuff on it that looks useless to me. I would not have done that LED matrix but a second row of I/O instead, like in the Arduino Due and Mega.
