Arduino GIGA WiFi - First Look
DroneBot Workshop
@dronebotworkshopAbout
Welcome to the Workshop! The DroneBot Workshop is the place where I work with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and lots of other cool microcontrollers, components, and sensors. This is a channel for learning and understanding. While I do build projects, most episodes focus on showing you HOW things work, so you can use the information to bring your own designs to life. Every video has a corresponding article on my website at https://dronebotworkshop.com , along with the diagrams and code samples you’ll need to build your own creations. You can also participate in discussions on my Forum at https://forum.dronebotworkshop.com. Please note that I no longer do any sponsored videos, enquiries for these will be ignored! If you'd like to know more about me or the DroneBot Workshop you can read the FAQ at https://dronebotworkshop.com/about-dronebot-workshop/faq/ And if you have technical questions please ask them on the Forum. Welcome to the Workshop! I hope you enjoy your stay! Bill

The most powerful Arduino yet - meet the new Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi board! Article with code: https://dronebotworkshop.com/giga More articles and tutorials: https://dronebotworkshop.com Join the conversation on the forum: https://forum.dronebotworkshop.com Subscribe to the newsletter and stay in touch: https://dronebotworkshop.com/subscribe/ What looks like an Arduino Mega, works like an Arduino Portenta (but costs a lot less), and has a ton of exciting new features? It’s the Arduino GIGI R1 WiFi, the newest microcontroller board from Arduino. This beast may look like a Mega 2560, but that’s where the resemblance ends. The GIGA has even more I/O ports, 76 of them. It has an integrated Real Time Clock, 16-bit Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs), 12-bit Digital to Analog Converters (DACs), and CANBUS connections. It also has a USB-A connector that you can use with a keyboard, mouse, or USB storage device. Its STM32H747XI microcontroller has two powerful high-speed cores, and you can even run a MicroPython program in one core and an Arduino C++ program in the other. The GIGA has a Murata LBEE5KL1DX-883 radio module for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication. Here is a breakdown of today's video: 00:00 - Introduction 02:23 - Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi 11:07 - Look at GIGA board 13:54 - Getting Started with the GIGA 15:46 - Fixing Linux Error 22:18 - Example - WiFiWebClient 26:45 - Real Time Clock 28:25 - RTC Manual Code & Demo 33:19 - RTC WiFi Code & Demo 36:38 - Working with USB 38:41 - Read USB Directory 41:52 - Write to USB Drive 44:23 - Read from USB Drive 46:05 - Using the ADCs 50:55 - Using the DACs - Waveform Generator 58:03 - Conclusion While the hardware for the GIGA is nothing short of amazing, the software is currently in development. I had many issues getting it all to work. I’ll show you how to resolve these issues if you encounter them. But software issues aside, this powerful microcontroller board will find many great applications in robotics, process control, and IoT (it’s ready for the Arduino IoT Cloud). Hope you enjoy the video! Bill
