A New Kid On The Mini ARM Block
The breadboard microcontroller experimenter has a host of platforms to work with that can be had in the familiar DIP format. Old-school people can still find classic 8-bit platforms, the Ardunisti have their ATMegas, and PIC lovers have a pile of chips to choose from. But ARM experimenters? Out of luck, because as we have previously reported, popular past devices such as the LPC810 in a DIP8 package are now out of production.
News comes from China though of a tiny ARM Cortex M0 for pennies that may not be in a DIP8, but is in almost the next best …read more
