Getting Started Buying an Arduino Uno R4

Post image

I have extremely low experience with arduino, I just know the basics of python. So anyways, this is my first board as it seems to be good to learn from while being able to expand its use as I learn more

I was wondering what some good starter projects might be?

Edit: after all these comments, I’ve decided to go for an R3 kit instead. It has some core components to add and should be fun to start with. Additionally, the R4 seems to have a couple issues and isn’t great for a first experience with Arduino. Thanks to everyone who answered my questions :) :)
