minus-squareCroquette@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up22arrow-down1·1 day agoArduino has its place for self-taught hobbyists. For a lot of projects, a simple code is more than enough, so there is no point of going into the more advanced mcu like esp32 or stm32.

minus-squareSteveTech@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·18 hours agoI can find the official Pi Pico for $3.50, I’m sure clones are cheaper than that.
