Hackerbox 0106 - Epoch

*Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video!* https://www.pcbway.com/ In this video I check out Hackerbox 0106 which introduced me to the Arduino Uno R4. There are many neat examples to give a nice intro to using this microcontroller even ones that show its full backward compatibility with existing shield designs. The onboard LED matrix and RTC are neat additions to this Uno that make it stand out and they are front and center in some of these examples. We also dip our toes into one of my favorite things, locksport/lockpicking. I enjoyed playing with this hackerbox. Hackerboxes was kind enough to be game for another *giveaway* this time around. We still need to limit it to the US only.
