DESCRIPTION
The latest version of the immensely popular development board Arduino UNO is Rev 4. It is a modernized and refined variant of the classic. Instead of a 16MHz ATMega328P, it now features a 32-bit 48MHz ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller. In addition to a faster and more capable microcontroller, it also offers more memory, a USB-C connector (with HID), improved power supply (6-24V input), CAN-BUS, a 12-bit DAC, and an operational amplifier.
The WIFI model includes everything from the Minima version, and in addition, as the name suggests, a WIFI and Bluetooth module, a 12×8 LED matrix, QWIIC connector, and an RTC (Real-Time Clock) with external battery backup.
UNO Rev 4 is 100% backward compatible with the older UNO boards and has 5V GPIOs. All UNO-compatible shields and codebases also work with the R4 version.
UNO R4 is launched in two versions: a simpler variant (Minima) for all projects based on previous UNO models that require a bit more computational power and memory, and a variant with extended functionality (WIFI) for more advanced projects.
