The Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi is a Mega‑form‑factor development board with integrated on‑board Wi‑Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity. Its wireless functions are based on the Murata® LBEE5KL1DX‑883 module and support independent or simultaneous dual‑protocol operation for IoT communication, remote control, and data transmission.
Bluetooth Specifications & Features
1. Core Specifications
- Dual protocol stack support for Classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE):
- BLE: Supports 5.X via Cordio stack and 4.2 via Arduino Stack; low‑power design ideal for battery‑powered devices
- Bluetooth Classic: For traditional audio and point‑to‑point data communication
- Communication: Shares antenna with Wi‑Fi; short‑range (typically 10–30 meters, environment‑dependent) low‑latency communication
2. Application Scenarios
- Local control: Direct BLE connection from mobile phones to control 3D printers, audio devices without network
- Data collection: Receive short‑range sensor node data and upload to cloud via Wi‑Fi
- Audio transmission: Use the on‑board 3.5mm audio jack for Bluetooth audio playback or recording transfer
