Running GRBL on an original UNO pointed out the old hardware limits. The software was limited because of memory constraints and the speed limits prevented four and five axis machines from running without better boards with more pins. I haven't checked since GRBL was first ported over to the 32 bit platform but any expansion they added might again run on these new UNO boards. Most 3D printers are using bigger boards with more pins and memory but there's a chance you could now run Marlin on one of these UNO's too. That might help hobbiests to try more complex builds.
I often wonder regarding the need to introduce newer boards with the same functionality as many already present boards, like the Arduino nano Esp32 or rp2040 nano connect. But more the boards, the merrier it is i guess.
While I appreciate your review of new vs old Arduinos, I must protest your suggestion that the Macintosh was superior to the Amiga of the same vintage. Sound, color, OS - the Amiga beat the early Macs in every category. I owned two versions of the Amiga back in the day. Sadly , I sold both when Amiga production ceased.
Well, you could put those older boards in a display case and open up an Arduino museum. Using a spreadsheet? You will learn the power of the dark side in accounting 😂 ☮️ brother.
Great video+explanation+presentation! Thank you for sharing! Well done mate - NEW SUB 🙏🏻

I never meant that Amigas were inferior. Simply that they were a different ecosystem.
The decimal point when you were measuring LED current... I'm confused.
Yeah, me too!

Thanks for the tips!
