The new Arduino UNO R4, insights from Arduino and Renesas! - Elektor Engineering Insights #24

Something has happened over at Arduino! The much-loved and respected UNO got an upgrade...and a half. Thanks to a collaboration with Renesas, a global leader in microcontrollers, the board has been pimped to 32 bits with more flash, more SRAM, and more new features than you can shake a stick at. Join Stuart Cording, the #electronicsreporter, as he gets the full lowdown from Alessandro Ranellucci, VP/Head of Arduino Makers, and Robert Nolf, System Architect with Renesas. And check out what our respected maker community thinks of this development, too, with questions and project ideas from @DIYGUYChris and @MaxImagination!

Why is the SPI bus so slow? The old R3 is faster.

"promosm"

5V ARM is so weird

[@gedtoon6451]

Yes. But really useful for back compatibility with the Uno R3.
