Listen, starting out in any area involves a lot of blundering, and if that area is hardware hacking or electronics, than your blunders can cost hundreds of dollars in component replacements.
Not everyone has an endless supply of cash. And not everyone grew up with a dad who was a techie and could show us the ropes (I'm probably the first person in my entire bloodline to even see the inside of a computer).
If you're rich, or if you were able to control for mistakes because you had some sort of mentor to help you, then good for you, you get to start with the Big Boy stuff. But for the rest of us who aren't so lucky, Arduino is our best option.
I can't believe that you are so autistic that you kill another thread just to be butthurt lmao. Bumping for mega autism

BRAINLET R A I N L E T
(unless you're programming the thing fully in AVR assembly)
Grayson Peterson
You give people who do use arduinos a bad name for making to stupid thread. sage
Aaron Richardson
yup, all the leet hackers use raspberry pi
Ryder Davis
I use Arduino because I'm a brainlet
Logan White
Grab yourself an esp8266 instead, much cheaper
Matthew Rodriguez
brainlet here arduino ftw
Noah Long
I used an arduino to spoof a DMV emissions test. they're great
Jose Stewart
My first experiences with programming were with arduino and bash. 8 years later I'm an embedded software dev feelsgoodman
>Not everyone has an endless supply of cash. but STMicro, Infineon, and TI all have cheaper options
the #1 selling point of arduino is how braindead easy it is. It's great for people who are new to programming, and for quickly prototyping/testing stuff. Any other common MCU platform is going to give you better flexibility and performance, but that's not arduino's goal
Lincoln Morris
On consumer-available μCs you don't get any cheaper than a chink arduino clone though. Especially if you want to factor the potential cost of a programming/training board.
William Walker
>not buying a fucking usbtinyisp programmer >not programming the chips bare >using the (((arduino ide))) You're sacrificing massive performance by using the Arduino library.
wtf is the point of this thread? are you looking for validation or something? Literally no ones gives a fuck what microcontroller you use that's something you should research and decide yourself holy fuck I hope this is bait.
Adrian Rodriguez
Nobody cares about your shitty blogpost, turbofaggot. Now fuck off.
Easton Ortiz
Actual retard heare, I ride an arduino to skool evry day.
Henry Richardson
You can still use the registers n stuff
> Anyone wanna rate my port bit flipper code uint8_t portnxor(uint8_t port, uint8_t pmask, uint8_t pval){ return (port ^ pval) & pmask; } //sample use PINB = portnxor(PORTB, 0xF0, 0x50);
Daniel Perez
I use Arduino for dirty prototypes. Just easier. This. Arduino library is shit. But you still can do low-level stuff, no prob. And you can still compile in avrstudio (or how it is called) and upload. No prob.
Jason Thomas
Nothing wrong with Arduino. Brainlets are brainlets because they make up shit and state it as fact while being horribly wrong.
Gavin Cox
Here's another interesting one - the OSCCAL register > unguaranteed +- 40% internal clock speed
