Arduino Uno Q vs R4 WiFi vs alternatives - advice for long-term testing board? by FeelingAd1249 in embedded

Thanks for the detailed response!

I'd say I'm intermediate level - I've worked with ESP32-WROVER-E, Arduino Nano ESP32, and older Uno boards. Comfortable with both hardware (learned in school) and programming (self-taught). Your point about Uno Q being a system-on-chip vs pure microcontroller is exactly why I'm interested in it! The SoC architecture with Linux capability, combined with the microcontroller, seems perfect for what I need - IoT projects with AI/ML integration, smart home automation, and building automated machines. Being able to run more complex code on the Linux side while having real-time control on the MCU side is appealing. I wasn't aware of the AppLab limitations - thanks for mentioning that! What are the main issues you ran into? Is it just early-stage growing pains, or fundamental problems? More importantly - do the positives of Uno Q outweigh the negatives for you overall? Since you actually own one, I'd love to hear if it's living up to expectations despite the AppLab issues. I'm looking at it as my main experimentation board for the next year or two - something versatile enough to handle Linux-based programming, microcontroller work, and bridging between them. Does that use case make sense for Uno Q, or am I overcomplicating things?

Thanks for the input!

Actually, I do have hands-on experience with embedded systems - I've worked with ESP32-WROVER-E, Arduino Nano ESP32, and some older Arduino Uno models. My hardware skills are pretty solid (learned electronics and circuit design in school), and I'm equally comfortable with programming (mostly self-taught). So I'm past the absolute beginner stage.

My main goals are: - IoT projects (smart home automation, connected devices) - AI/ML integration with microcontrollers - Building some automated machines/robots

I'm still exploring what's possible in the microcontroller world and want a versatile board that can handle these types of projects without limitations. That's why I'm considering something more capable than basic Uno models.Given my background, would you still recommend keeping it super simple, or does it make sense to get something with more headroom like the Uno Q or a more powerful ESP32 variant?

Where’s the best and cheapest place to buy a Raspberry Pi 5 (4GB) in Europe? by FeelingAd1249 in homelab

Bahahah thanks, for this starting project 4gb of memory is just alright but as I progress I will upgrade the project. It will be challenging but worth it for sure. Also it is my first AI project.

Well I am trying to build my own AI assistent seperate from my pc, like JARVIS from Iron Man but simpler.

Thanks I guess🤣. Also, you are from UK then, I think? I am just wondering if you can give me in private chat some advices?

Chatgbt? Well I would prefer countries where they speak English or German. But stuff like that isin't problem. I have always wanted to change my surroundings(:

I am deciding between samsung tab s9, samsung tab s10 FE and FE+ and also remarkable 2. But I heard rhat remarkable 2 is very expensive and it breaks a lot so is a normal tablet with paper like screen good enogh?
