The new $49.99 Snapino kit (recommended for ages 12 and up) adds an Arduino UNO circuit board (a tiny but real computer) to the mix, giving Snap Circuits its first true programmability.

Having trawled though Arduino’s just-released Uno R4 literature, here are the Uno R4 WiFi and R4 Minima in a nutshell: Features common to Arduino R4 – ‘WiFi’ (€25, below) and ‘Minima’ ... according to ...

The Arduino UNO R4 boasts a 3x performance increase over the UNO R3 and , in addition, SRAM has been upgraded from 2kB to 32kB, and flash memory from 32kB to 256kB to support more complex projects.

He further explains that, with the Arduino Uno, you can remove the reference capacitor from the circuit, and simply use the stray capacitance present in the board and microcontroller, which can be ...
