Even with more and more devices making the leap to USB-C, the Arduino Uno still proudly sports a comparatively ancient Type-B port. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that many Hackaday readers … ...

Arduino has announced the new UNO R4 board family for prototyping and learning. The new models feature a faster microcontroller, a USB-C connector, improved power, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE, and more.

Meanwhile, the Arduino Mega is getting the same USB chip along with an ATMega2560 processor with twice the memory. Right now only 128K is available, but that's a software limitation and they're ...

The Arduino UNO R4 boasts a 3x performance increase over the UNO R3 and , in addition, SRAM has been upgraded from 2kB to 32kB, and flash memory from 32kB to 256kB to support more complex projects.

Features common to Arduino R4 – ‘WiFi’ (€25, below) and ‘Minima’ (€18, right) IO connections are in physically similar positions to Uno R3, and IO remains 5V. USB connector changed to Type-C. 6 – ...
