Here’s the solution. Stop using Arduino. That’s how people power work. Then a new open alternative will pop up, and people can start using that. Ones desire to create and build, should never belong to only one brand - but a universal brand - whenever possible.
i think it was already dead and replaced by the esp32s - the original arduinos are too expensive for what actually offered: get the performance of a 8-bit cpu with 2k RAM but at raspberry pi prices
Hopefully places like Adafruit will stop stocking them. They should also post explanations for people searching directly for them.
Stupid question.
Does this apply to what you write and upload on the Arduino IDE to your boards? Or just whatever you publish on their website/ cloud?
The latter.
“Hello, this brand of tools that was specifically made for people to learn about? Yes, you’re no longer allowed to attempt to understand how they work.”
First it was Raspberry Pi now Arduino. Is ESP32 all that’s left?
What happened with raspberry pi?
It’s more expensive than what it is really worth years ago, among many other problems. It was a cheap and reliable programming platform when it was Raspberry Pi 1.
Isn’t Arduino more of a software framework and less about the chips themselves? Arduino can run on ESP32 and also on a huge array of ATmega mcus.
I don’t actually know that! I have fiddled with esp32 a bit and was disappointed when Pi’s priced out most of the hobbyist market
Is ESP32 open hardware?
nope.
Boycott time. Fuck these pricks and their money.
I’m glad I still have shitloads of ESP8266s kicking around.
Which ESP32 boards do folks recommend lately? Too many options.
Please tell me ESP32 with python is still a good option or did they get bought out too?
Are RISCV microcontrollers out yet? Might be a good idea to rally around making a fully open IDE ecosystem and breakout board standard for it (maybe even make it pin compatible with the old school Arduino, surely they can’t sue for that right?)
I wonder how these terms compare to those of the Raspberry Pi Pico series.
Pico has considerably more power, more than ESP32 even.
Sad :/
