The Arduino Uno Q is a weird hybrid SBC(www.jeffgeerling.com)

I see the bean counters are still in control at QCOM

Nice integrated LED matrix

The UNO R4 WiFi already has that, and launched in the middle of 2023. It uses an onboard esp-32 for wifi and bluetooth.

Qualcomm owning Arduino is a real mismatch as evidenced by this device.

A great pity because likely it’ll end up in the demise of Arduino which is central to the hobbyist microcontroller scene.

I'll be always "grateful" to Arduino UNO R3 for my first foray into hardware-related stuff.

It was mine as well. My gateway into programming too.

I think the "Arduino platform" will live on in Teensy, others.

The hardware is the least important bit of Arduino.

It’s the IDE, as crappy as it is.

Not even the IDE. Those of us that care have switched to VS Code + PlatformIO. The arduino ecosystem is all that matters, and that won't die for a long time. Heck, there are many chip manufacturers building in an Uno header pinout into their dev boards so you can try them out with off the shelf Arduino shields.

The "batteries included" nature of their IDE is remarkable for getting up and running with any random hardware that's meant to be arduino compatible.

Like, you can install support for a board or some hardware and have premade example code running on it within a few minutes. Without even reading any extra documentation.

The IDE is absolute dogshit. IMO they should pivot to contributing to PlatformIO instead to keep this awful IDE going.

It really looks like is it two thirds of what a Klipper-based 3D printer with a monitoring camera would need. It lacks the stepper controllers/power control stuff but it has the CPU/MCU duality you'd want, it could comfortably run a proper LCD panel, run an on-board slicer, even run on-board CAD.

Weird take. The Raspberry Pi Zero 2W would have seemed more like the natural comparison rather than the Raspberry Pi 4 or 5.

I find it more interesting to think of the Arduino Uno Q as a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W but with 2GB / 4GB of RAM and even lower idle power than the other options with that much RAM. That makes it intriguing as a very low power always-on headless server with GPIO as a bonus.

RP Zero 2W is $15 and Uno Q is $44

The Uno Q has 4 times the RAM plus 16 GB of eMMC built in so what's your point? Its idle and max power consumption and CPU benchmarks are more in line with the Zero 2W.

Depends on which dimension, e.g. https://www.jeffgeerling.com/sites/default/files/images/ardu... from https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/arduino-uno-q-weird-h...
