Great Board, Learning Curve
Hardware is solid. Took me a bit to adjust to the new IDE support compared to the old AVR boards, but worth it.

Excellent Upgrade
The R4 Minima is a fantastic upgrade from the classic Uno. The increased memory and speed make handling complex sketches much smoother.

Perfect for Education
Using these for my robotics class. The USB-C port is much more durable for student use than the old Type-B.
