My experience with this new Arduino compatible board:
Test Date: April 24, 2021
Arduino IDE: 1.8.13
B4R IDE: 3.71
Micro Board: Seeeduino XIAO with 256KB Flash and 32KB SRAM
The XIAO is $8 USD and about 10 times? more powerful than UNO.
Situation:
Arduino IDE runs the XIAO board fine. (e.g Blink program)
B4R IDE runs the XIAO board fine. (e.g B4R Blink program)
When using Arduino IDE:
If XIAO is powered up without being attached to IDE then XIAO will run its program.
Problem:
When using B4R IDE:
If XIAO is powered up without being attached to IDE then XIAO will not run its program.
Possible Cause:
It seems that B4R causes something to be programmed into the XIAO
that makes running the program dependant on the live B4R environment.
Summary:
When using B4R IDE, the programmed XIAO will not run
on it's own, (without being attached to the B4R IDE and "Connected").
I hope someone can comment, as XIAO is too exciting to ignore.
