Arduino Unveils Advanced GIGA R1 WiFi Board - from great fun to amazing performance

Are you ready to take your maker skills to the next level? If so, then the GIGA R1 WiFi is the board for you. Designed to be the most powerful development board ever created by Arduino, it's perfect for makers, engineers, and creators who want to work on robotics, IoT, music, computer vision, digital fabrication, and any other project involving machines, interfaces, and real-time processing.

Arduino Unveils Advanced GIGA R1 WiFi Board - from great fun to amazing performance

The GIGA R1 WiFi is a game-changer, offering all the power of the STM32H7 microcontroller in the same form factor as the popular Mega and Due boards. But that's not all; it's also available at an accessible price point, making it the perfect tool for artists, gamers, sound designers, researchers, and more.

With the GIGA R1 WiFi, you'll have the power to think bigger and be more creative than ever. The dual-core microcontroller (Cortex-M7 core at 480 MHz and Cortex-M4 at 240 MHz) allows you to run two Arduino programs simultaneously, or an Arduino program and a MicroPython one. With this architecture, you can separate higher-level logic such as displays, interfaces, and networking from time-critical tasks such as motor control.


The board can be powered at 24V and takes the pins count to the unique number of 76. It all fits in the same footprint as the Mega, thanks to the optimized layout with extra pins in the middle. This means you can boost existing projects or bring new ideas to life with more bang and no bulk.

The GIGA R1 WiFi also provides Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity via a high-quality Murata 1DX module supporting an external antenna. The board features a USB-C connector for power, programming, and HID device capability, as well as a USB-A connector that provides USB host functionality. An input-output 3.5-mm audio jack will enable lots of audio and music projects, while the camera and display pins will do the rest whenever you want to create interfaces, control panels or other creative interactions.

With the Arduino Cloud, you can easily connect the board, create comprehensive dashboards, and control your project from your smartphone using the native app.


So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the Arduino Store page and check out all the tech specs. With the GIGA R1 WiFi, you'll have the power to think, make, and innovate like never before.
