The new Arduino UNO R4 Wi-Fi
It has been a while since my last post, but life gets in the way sometimes. The UNO form factor and the claim it was a 5V board made me pay more attention this time to this new board from Arduino. Having an ESP32 for Wi-Fi support was a nice touch, so while I did not make it as a beta tester, I shelled out some cash and got a commercial unit as soon as it was launched. It is not only the built-in Wi-Fi but lots of other goodies, but you cannot but love the led matrix display <3 My first experience with the board was in an M1 Mac, which was completely trouble-free. The second test was with a Windows 10 machine, and the results were not good: I could not upload code to the board even though it was detected and the port was correctly set. I searched around and discovered this is a known issue . Bummer :-( That error happened using the new 2.1.0 IDE, so I returned to the older version installed on my computer, which was a no-go too. So I think that is all about it with Windows so far.
