Hi, this is my first post
I recently got a Arduino r4 Wifi. I absolutely love it tbh
I have been experimenting with leds and the joystick
But feel limited to this, because I don't know whether the Arduino will connect to another device without an internet connection
I'm looking for projects in robotics and possibly a drone
The R4 has an ESP32 onboard which can be programmed for various WiFi tasks. It can function as a WiFi access point in its own right, or can connect to another device such as a WiFi router. You can find some information to get you started here:
https://docs.arduino.cc/hardware/uno-r4-wifi/#tutorials
Click on the 'Tutorials' tab a little way down and you will find some WiFi related articles. Also have a look at the Examples that you can find within the IDE. See Files -> Examples.
