Hardware Help Plastic case

Post image

I recently got an Arduino Uno R4 WiFi, and it came in this plastic case. How do I remove it?

the board is just secured with clips / friction and can be removed if necessary

It just pops out.

Good to know. Thanks for the clarification.

I had similar WiFi stability issues and two things fixed it: (1) a watchdog timer that reboots after 30s with no connection, and (2) avoiding WiFi.begin() in a tight retry loop — it fragments the heap. A 5s backoff between retries solved it.

Just pry the edges gently. Clips will let go.
