  1. I’ve worked with the #STmicroelectronics products, since the 1980s (just after their merger). Like most others who work with #MCUs, my familiarity and comfort with ST is due to happenstance, not due to conscious choice. Still, I’m quite happy with my lot in life. Of late, however, I’ve gradually become fond of the #Espressif family.

  6. Trying to harness the #fediverse #electronics #hobbyist #brain ...

    I've got a busted consumer product here that has 2 #Holtek #microcontrollers in it. Either one would be sufficient to run this product (a brushless-motor tower fan), but #MCUs are cheap, so why not throw a second one in if it saves a few centimeters of wire?

    I'm trying to determine if there's a #standard #serial #physical #layer in use here to communicate from one #MCU to the other. It's one-way communication.

  11. For #embedded hardware, I use ARM #MCUs most of the time. But of late I've been exploring RISC-V, which I hope becomes as prevalent as the one-ARM bandit.

    As for embedded software, there are loads of languages available: C++, Rust, Python, Lua, JavaScript, TypeScript, OCaml, Ada, you name it they've got it. But my favourites tools for the task are C, TinyGo, and Zig—compact, simple, fast, unadorned, all business, controllable, and in the case of Zig, safe (well, at least safer than the other two).

  16. Schau an, das #Zeal-Projekt hat unlängst ein kompaktes Dateisystem für 8-bit-Systeme veröffentlicht (deren Fokus liegt natürlich auf dem #Z80):

    github.com/Zeal8bit/ZealFS

    #ZealFS Läuft auch unter GNU/#Linux, mittels #fuse. Dem ersten Blick nach zu urteilen lässt sich das problemlos auch auf den üblichen kleinen 8-bit #MCUs verwenden.

  19. With all those #MCUs laying around, especially those neat #PSoC parts, I've got a bunch of STM32F-series parts, on devboards and breakouts. Even with their quirks, they're really the big dogs I reach for when I need a real computer for something, especially the CM4F parts with fast flash.

  23. #PSoC #MCUs are super-cool because they're basically a decent hard CPU and small FPGA/analog array. The PSoC 5LP even has a hardware FIR engine that works terrifically with very good IDE designer support. Really neat family of parts that are under-appreciated IMO

  27. CW: Boring introduction

    With the sudden influx of new users, time for another #introduction.

    I'm an azure-winged magpie living in #China doing #embedded software development for #PublicGrid monitoring and testing tools. Unlike most of my #ElectronicEngineer colleagues, I am a 100% #software nerd with just enough #hardware smarts to be dangerous. I design embedded #frameworks and #libraries that my colleagues lack the foundations to do create. I chiefly work with the #STM32 line of #MCUs.
