Anybody work with Arduinos? They're cool little circuit boards, aren't they?
@proto_azure I have a small, unreasonable bias against them. I am rather interested in the ESP chips...
@Lwasserman Is there a disadvantage to using Arduinos?
@proto_azure No. I was trained on Motorolla 68HC12s, and later used PIC chips. I see Arduinos, and the snotty, rotten part of my brain screams, "Damn hobbyists!" There is nothing wrong with Arduinos. My only problem is that I went to school for embedded controls, and am being fussy.
@proto_azure That said, I highly recommend that you take the time to understand your pinouts, peripheral circuits, and assembly code, as opposed to just using shields and premade libraries. I really believe that it's good to know why something works.
