Aeduino UNO Q first impressions
I attended a talk by David Cuartielles at the Universitat Politècnica de València, where he discussed bio-degradable PCBs. I was lucky that David gave me one of the new UNO Q boards. I couldn't wait to try this beast out, but I faced some initial trouble. You can handle the UNO Q board from your computer using either the standalone Arduino App Lab you can download for free, or you can use the Arduino Cloud service on the web. The latter requires you to download the Arduino Cloud Agent, which bridges the Cloud service with USB communication. The board retains the venerable form factor of the Arduino UNO, although it no longer features a barrel power connector. The board is powered by the USB-C port.

A significant amount of power is packed into a compact board. The recommended power...
