Arduino Uno R4

[w0lt]

Is this board supported yet, if not is there any idea of when?

Hello,

It certaionly looks interesting, we don't currently support any of the Renesas devices but I'll get them on the list as the Uno v4 is certainly something we want to be able to support in future.

I am also interested in the Uno R4 Minima, as it has a built-in RTC.

Hello,

Thanks for letting us know. We have a meeting this week and I'll raise the topic of looking at the Renesas chips.

Hi Ben,

I was wondering if you have managed to discuss with your colleagues about the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi, as this comes with a ESP32-S3 WiFi module which I would select for a future project. It is an affordable product, and I hope that the Flowcode development team will consider it.

Hi Andreas,

I've started work on investigating the Uno R4 device and the associated chip family. It certainly looks possible from what I've seen but currently we have a lot of ongoing projects so it could still be some time before we get around to adding it. I'll try and keep chipping away so we can provide something soon even if it's a bit unpolished and in a beta form.

Thank you, Ben! Meanwhile, I will stick with Arduino Uno R3 and do some projects with it.
It's good that the business is going well and you have lots of ongoing projects!
