Official Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi Development Board - ABX00063
Official Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi Development Board The Official Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi is a powerful development board crafted for ambitious creators—whether you're a gamer, artist, engineer, or hobbyist with a big idea and a tight budget. Built with the same form factor as the Arduino Mega and Due, this board introduces cutting-edge capabilities with accessibility in mind. At its core lies a dual-core STM32H747XI microcontroller, featuring a Cortex®-M7 running at 480 MHz and a Cortex®-M4 at 240 MHz, allowing concurrent execution of Arduino and MicroPython. Wireless connectivity is seamlessly handled by the Murata 1DX module, supporting both Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® and offering secure communication via the onboard ATECC608A crypto chip. Staying true to Arduino’s legacy, the GIGA R1 WiFi includes 4 UARTs, 3 I2C ports, 2 SPI ports, and 1 FDCAN, along with an impressive 76 GPIO pins, accessible from beneath the board. For expandability and versatility, it features a USB-A host port, USB-C programming and power port, JTAG, a 20-pin Arducam connector, and a 3.5mm audio jack. It also includes a VRTC pin for RTC battery backup and an OFF pin for power control. With a wide input voltage range of 6–24V and enhanced connectivity options, the Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi development board is ideal for advanced IoT, robotics, multimedia, and embedded applications.
