The Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi is a development board for gaming, interactive art, sound design, and other electronics projects. It uses the same form factor as the Arduino Mega and Due and provides dual-core processing with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

Let’s break down all the powerful features of this board.

Microcontroller (STM32H747XI): This dual-core 32-bit microcontroller has two communicating cores (a Cortex-M7 at 480 MHz and a Cortex-M4 at 240 MHz) you can even run MicroPython on one and Arduino on the other.

Wireless communication (Murata 1DX):  Whether you prefer Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, the GIGA R1 WiFi supports both. You can even quickly connect to the Arduino IoT Cloud and keep track of your project remotely. And if you are concerned about the security of the communication, the ATECC608A keeps everything under control.

Hardware ports and communication: Following the legacy of the Arduino Mega and the Arduino Due, the GIGA R1 WiFi has 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), 3 I2C ports (1 more than its predecessors), 2 SPI ports (1 more than its predecessors), 1 FDCAN.

GPIOs and extra pins: Arduino retained the Mega and Due form factor so you can adapt your custom-made shields to the GIGA R1 WiFi (remember this board works at 3.3V though!) and added extra headers to access extra pins, leaving the total count to 76 GPIO pins, and the best part, you can access them from underneath, so keep your project as it is and just think about how to expand it. The board also includes two additional pins: a VRTC so you can connect a battery to keep the RTC running while the board is off and an OFF pin so you can shut down the board.

Connectors: The GIGA R1 WiFi includes onboard connectors for peripherals. Additional components may be needed for your project. This board has:

  • USB-A connector suitable for hosting USB sticks, other mass storage devices and HID devices such as keyboard or mouse.
  • 3.5mm input-output jack connected to DAC0, DAC1 and A7.
  • USB-C to power and program the board, as well as simulate an HID device such as mouse or keyboard.
  • Jtag connector, 2x5 1.27mm.
  • 20 pin Arducam camera connector.

Higher voltage support: In comparison with its predecessors that support up to 12 volts, the GIGA R1 WiFi can handle a range of 6 to 24 volts.
