&Overview
The Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi was developed for ambitious makers who want to step up their game. It levels the playing field for gamers, artists, sound designers and anyone entering the tech world with big ideas and small budgets - because it packs advanced features into an accessible component, with the same form factor as our popular Mega and Due.
Microcontroller (STM32H747XI): With 32-bit dual-core microcontroller (a Cortex®-M7 at 480 MHz and a Cortex®-M4 at 240 MHz).
Wireless communication (Murata 1DX): Whether Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth®, the GIGA R1 WiFi offers you everything. You can even quickly connect to the Arduino IoT Cloud and track your project remotely. And if you're concerned about communications security, the ATECC608A has you covered.
Hardware ports and communication: The GIGA R1 WiFi has 4 UARTs (hardware serial interfaces), 3 I2C ports (1 more than its predecessors), 2 SPI ports (1 more than its predecessors) and 1 FDCAN.
GPIOs and additional pins: We wanted to keep the same form factor of the Mega and Due so that you can easily adapt your custom shields to the GIGA R1 WiFi (remember this board works on 3.3V !) and we added additional headers to access additional pins, bringing the total to 76 GPIO pins, and best of all, you can access them from below, so keep your project as is and just think about it after how to expand it. We also added two new pins: a VRTC, which allows you to connect a battery to keep the RTC running when the board is turned off, and an OFF pin, which allows you to power down the board. Connector:
The GIGA R1 WiFi has additional connectors that make it easier to create your project without additional hardware. This board has:
- USB-A port for USB sticks, other mass storage devices and HID devices such as keyboard or mouse.
- 3.5mm input jack for connecting to DAC0, DAC1 and A7.
- USB-C® for powering and programming the board as well as for simulating an HID device such as a mouse or keyboard.
- Jtag connector, 2x5 1.27mm.
- 20-pin Arducam camera connector.
Higher voltage support: Compared to its predecessors that support up to 12 volts, the GIGA R1 WiFi can handle a range of 6 to 24 volts.
