When I bought my first pyboard theirs was the only one. It's great to see how it spread! permalink fedilink source parent [–] HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 11 months ago Imo, arduino is also mostly a software project nowadays. While they did make a bunch of avr boards that were quite novel and interesting at the time, now they are not as good in terms of both price and performance compared to various arm-based boards. What keeped arduino alive is a bunch of libs and arduino ide cores for various boards ppl have written over time. permalink fedilink source parent
