Arduino UNO R4 Minima Development Board

The Arduino UNO R4 is a significant upgrade to its predecessor, packing a punch with its Renesas RA4M1 processor running at 48MHz. This tripling of speed compared to the UNO R3 means smoother performance for more complex projects. The enhanced 32kB SRAM and 256kB flash memory allow for the development of advanced applications, accommodating coding intricacies that were previously unattainable with earlier models.

The inclusion of a new USB-C port is another leap forward, offering greater versatility and ease with connectivity. By boosting the maximum power supply voltage to 24V, this board opens avenues for a broader range of projects involving higher loads.

The CAN bus feature is a noteworthy addition, enabling the connection of multiple extension boards with minimal wiring. This seamless networking capability makes it a prime choice for projects that demand layered communication between components. The inclusion of a 12-bit analog DAC further boosts its versatility, especially for those projects that require precise analog signal processing.

The UNO R4 WiFi version brings even more to the table, with built-in WiFi connectivity options for projects that necessitate wireless communication. For those looking for a budget-friendly alternative without extra features, the UNO R4 Minima provides a simplified yet powerful option.

Keeping its lineage alive, the UNO R4 maintains the trusted 5V voltage, standard form factor, and shield compatibility of the UNO series, making it a familiar and stable platform. Whether you're testing the waters or maneuvering complex creations, the UNO R4 stands as a robust and reliable choice.
