Arduino Uno R4 WiFi Factory Demo?

Official Hardware Classic UNO R4 WiFi

Not sure if this is the correct category, but is the factory demo sketch for the new UNO R4 WiFi board available anywhere? I just received my boards and the initial experience is kind of delightful and I don't want to overwrite it just yet without knowing if I can restore it. :slight_smile:

Hi there @robertgallup , happy to hear you liked the demo sketch! I'm attaching the .ino and .h so that you can upload new sketches to your board :slight_smile:

Awesome! Thank you so much! It's a very simple sketch with a fun animation. I'm now free to go exploring. :slight_smile:

Superb! This really should be on the 'getting starting' page. I've searched quite some pages, manuals and github repo's to find this. Thanks to Carlos A from the support team I've found this post.

@rnldnkp great suggestion! We will likely add it to the getting started page for the UNO R4 WiFi board :slight_smile:

The sketch is now hosted in the arduino/ArduinoCore-renesas repository on GitHub:

It will be accessible via the File > Examples > LED_Matrix > MatrixIntro menu in Arduino IDE starting from the next release of the "Arduino UNO R4 Boards" platform.

Nice work Karl!

Hi @ptillisch - sorry to divert this thread, but could you also post the factory 3-color blink sketch for the Giga R1?

I have been searching for it an unable to find it.

Thanks

Thank you for sharing this demo sketch. I also thought it was interesting and worthy of further study, so finding it on this forum was fantastic.

It really should be one of the example sketches that come with the board library.

Anyway, I appreciate it being shared here :slight_smile:

It has been added as one of the example sketches. It was added after the time of the latest release of the "Arduino UNO R4 Boards" platform, so it will only be found among the examples after you update to the next release of that platform. Until then, the most convenient way to get it is from the attachment in post #2 of this topic.

Happy New Year,

How can one update to the latest platform release? I am using Arduino IDE 2.2.1. When I first plugged in the R4 WiFi board I think it installed version 1.0.3, even though I don't know how to look it up, either.

Thanks in advance,

Hi @dpant1. Happy New Year to you.

  1. Select Tools > Board > Boards Manager... from the Arduino IDE menus to open the "Boards Manager" view in the left side panel.
  2. Scroll down through the list of boards platforms until you see the "Arduino UNO R4 Boards" entry.
  3. If a newer version is available, you will see an "UPDATE" button at the bottom of the entry. You can click that button to update to the newest version.
    If you instead see a "REMOVE" button, that means you already have the newest version installed and no action is required.

You are welcome. I'm glad if I was able to be of assistance.
