>>1264857
hes probably a fucknut that wants to roll his own atmel support circuitry every single time he wants to test something. arduino is nothing more than an atmel breakout board since you can use whatever bootloader you want and their bootloader is free so you arnt paying the ms markup.
Id wager that hes just old, bitter, and just stuck in his way.

>>1265319
its an open sourced breakout board for a standard and powerful microcontroller, something like the micro has just enough to get the chip up and running and nothing more. with chinese clones, if you wanted to make a one off project you could hot glue the damn thing in place and just get another for $3, salvage whatever you dont use (jumper pins and usb port) and move on with your life.

[Anonymous No.1265768]

I assume your talking about the 5x6 drawer thing.
would be nice if its a steady supply of them. Never heard of restore, but googling it shows second hand stores so I assume its like a goodwill.

I like pic related, but they are so damn expensive, even when importing them yourself.
I want like 100 of these(not literally but maybe eventually), and cant find them for under 9 a piece

[Anonymous No.1265769]

>>1265339
>just plug modules
the pins from the atmel chip run straight to the jumpers. You dont have to use "modules".
I program my arduino by writing the C in kate or notepad++, compiling it with gcc, and uploading it though avrdude, you dont even have to use their ide. use whatever the fuck you want.

I linked the exact container you pictured... I even own one of them. 60 of them at 2.19 would be the cost of 13 at $9 each. I'd just get it at that price if you really do want many for the future. Go on aliexpress and you can find these for $5 each with free shipping if you only want a few.

[Anonymous No.1265811]

>>1265769
Just jumping in here.

Arduino suck balls to people with actual microcontroller knowledge for a very simple reason. You have no idea what the libraries actually do when you intend to do something with them. And to be honest you never really figure this out until you read all the pull requests.

Take the esp8266 for instance. If you use a timer before you start wifi and then you start wifi, it'll fuck up your timer. There's no work around and you simply have to start wifi first before you can use that timer.

People who actually studied microcontrollers are used of complete control, not ease of use. It results in incredibly efficient binaries. Arduino libraries are so fucking fat hello world programs chew up more than half the memory sometimes. As a guy who started on hc11s I never liked this fact either because every bite counts but it sure gives u an easy starting point when you know nothing of the architecture and u need to execute something complex like connecting to wifi.

So there's the fucking trade off.

[Anonymous No.1265815]

>>1265811

[Anonymous No.1265817]

theres still the divide between people who thing a small board for testing that has the chip and the required support hardware you'll need every time you use the fucking thing is a good idea, and the ones that think its retarded and want to waste their time making the exact same circuit every time they want to test something.

I keep most of my components and ICs in the small bins in the background. The resistors and capacitors go into separate compartment boxes, there's another black box full of components for a competition robot I've been planning to build for months now.
I'm switching to SMD, so for now all the SMD resistors and capacitors are sitting inside the jar of shame. I also store my jumper cables in a jar. I use stripped pieces of wire and not the fancy ones.
