minus-squareKyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoEspressif is still just Espressif. The RP and Nordic semiconductor chips are good too, though RP is also a corporation now.
minus-squareProfessorozone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 hours agoI assume RP is raspberry pi? That’s a single board computer. Arduino is a microprocessor.
minus-squareKyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 hour agoYes, the 2040 is a microcontroller. RP 2040: https://www.seeedstudio.com/XIAO-RP2040-v1-0-p-5026.html RP 2350: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-XIAO-RP2350-p-5944.html Nordic Semi nRF52840, Bluetooth only board: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-XIAO-BLE-nRF52840-p-5201.html There are a few others by this manufacturer of different chips, none quite as fast as the ESPs though: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/SeeedStudio_XIAO_Series_Introduction/ I’m only linking the Seeed ones because they’re high quality. They’re also the only ones I’ve found this size with built in battery chargers. Hope that helps. Oh and as a bonus, here’s someone using the RP2040 and an OLED to turn a lego brick into a Doom machine: https://youtu.be/TJHSMpYi8bg https://youtu.be/6wBrOV2FJM8
