Arduino UNO R4 WiFi
Overview
The Arduino UNO R4 WiFi is a significant evolution of the classic UNO platform, featuring a 48 MHz Renesas RA4M1 Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller and an ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N8 for wireless connectivity. It upgrades the ecosystem to 32-bit architecture while maintaining the 5V logic and form factor compatibility that engineers and makers rely on. This board integrates a 12x8 LED matrix for visual feedback and a Qwiic connector for rapid I2C prototyping.
Why Choose This Part
The R4 WiFi provides a seamless migration path for 5V projects that require more RAM (32kB) and Flash (256kB) than the R3. It eliminates the need for external level shifters in legacy circuits while offering modern features like a 12-bit DAC, CAN bus support, and a wide 6V to 24V input voltage range.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Start by installing the Arduino IDE and the UNO R4 board package. Connect via the USB-C port to flash code and use the Arduino Cloud for easy IoT dashboard integration. Developers can also utilize the Renesas RA flexible software package (FSP) for more advanced bare-metal programming of the RA4M1 core.
