For Arduino, 2023 was a very notable year.
After several agreements and partnerships with industrial brands such as Bosch for the Arduino Nicla, the Arduino platforms are expanding, moving from being a popular board for hobbyists and makers to entering the world of industrial applications based on embedded devices.
The ‘classic’ version of Arduino UNO R3, based on the AVR 328p, survives, and probably will for many years. However, the most recent Arduino boards implement powerful Arm-based microcontrollers oriented to IoT and embedded machine learning (ML) applications.
In this issue of The Shed, I will introduce an Arduino platform that can boost the makers’ creativity. Arduino UNO R4 does not replace previous versions but completes the coverage of the wide range of Arduino scenarios.
The experiments presented in these three articles have
