MKR Vidor 4000

The Arduino MKR Vidor 4000 is without a doubt the most advanced and featured-packed board in the MKR family, and the only one with a FPGA chip on board. With a camera & HDMI connector, a Wi-Fi® / Bluetooth® module and up to 25 configurable pins, the sky is really the limit with this board.

GET STARTED

Main Features

The MKR VIDOR 4000 is nothing less than a powerhouse of a board, packing a huge set of features into a small form factor. It features the Intel® Cyclone® 10CL016 for FPGA (Field Programming Gate Array), allowing you to configure a large set of pins to accommodate any of your preferences. But why stop there? The board also has a camera connector, a Micro HDMI connector, Wi-Fi / Bluetooth® connectivity through the NINA-W102 module, and cyber-security through the ECC508 crypto chip. Just as the other members of the MKR family, it uses the popular Cortex-M0 32-bit SAMD21 microprocessor.

Tech Specs

Here you will find the technical specifications for the Arduino MKR Vidor 4000.

Please read: operating voltage is 3.3V

The microcontroller on the this board runs at 3.3V, which means that you must never apply more than 3.3V to its Digital and Analog pins. Care must be taken when connecting sensors and actuators to assure that this limit of 3.3V is never exceeded. Connecting higher voltage signals, like the 5V commonly used with the other Arduino boards, will damage the board.

Please read: black conductive foam

You should remove the black conductive foam from the board pins before usage. If you don't remove it, the board may behave erratically.
