UNO R4 Stars: Meet Greta Galli

The launch of the Arduino UNO R4 marks an enormous leap ahead for our group. For us, it’s additionally the possibility to rejoice the individuals who convey our ecosystem to life with their vibrant concepts, radiant enthusiasm, and shining perception.

That’s how the UNO R4 Stars weblog publish sequence started: to spotlight makers who haven’t solely created superb tasks with Arduino, however who’re giving again to the group by sharing as they go and serving to others make something they need.

We invite you to find every profile, hoping you may discover a North Star to navigate round an increasing galaxy or enterprise into fully new universes.

Greta Galli is a 20-year-old maker – in addition to a content material creator, pupil and instructor! – focusing her excessive vitality ranges on robotics and 3D printing. For those who suppose that’s loads, it’s. However take into account she obtained her first style of constructing on the younger age of 11, when she took half in a youngsters’ workshop at a tech truthful. Quick ahead just a few years and she or he heard her highschool would begin educating with Arduino, so she jumped the gun and purchased her first board.

However guess what? She couldn’t work out learn how to get her first blink. And whereas she will chuckle about it now – with 160+ tutorials uploaded to YouTube and the Minion robotic she constructed working round her home – she needed to rapidly come to phrases with the truth that failing is a big a part of making. She obtained assist on the retailer the place she had purchased the board, and saved going.

Right this moment, her work is impressed by the concept you can also make something you possibly can think about. The stranger the concept, the higher! With robotics, 3D printing, and coding, you possibly can create your individual venture from scratch – and study every little thing it’s essential study as you go.

We requested Galli, “What’s your favourite a part of the UNO R4?”

• The built-in PWM on pin 13, which lets you make an LED blink regularly – so cool! 
• Wi-Fi connectivity makes the UNO R4 WiFi variant extremely straightforward to pair with the Arduino Cloud.
• UNO’s customary is appropriate with most shields available on the market.

You’ll be able to observe Galli on Instagram and YouTube, the place you too can discover her tutorial on learn how to make a reminiscence sport with the brand new Arduino UNO R4 Minima (in Italian).
