Cortex-m0 wouldn't be utterly insane, but yeah. An avr or pic or z80 would fit better :)

- tonyarkles 11y agoI used to agree, but there's now extraordinarily cheap cortex-m0 chips available too. E.g. Freescale Cortex M0 for $1.09 in singles: http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/MKL03Z8VFG4/MKL03Z8VFG4-ND/4800183 http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/MKL03Z8VFG4/MKL03Z8V... Cheapest AVR (ATTiny4 for $1.36) http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/ATTINY4-TSHR/ATTINY4-TSHRCT-ND/2477315 http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/ATTINY4-TSHR/ATTINY4... Cheapest PIC (PIC10F200 for $0.60) http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/PIC10F200T-I%2FOT/PIC10F200T-I%2FOTCT-ND/665887 http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/PIC10F200T-I%2FOT/PI... They're all at least in the same order of magnitude. And in my experience, arm-none-eabi-gcc is a way nicer development experience than MPLab or AVR Studio. avr-gcc is decent once you get it set up properly.
- cwyers 11y agoRight, but how hot does it get? I like my toast brown and crisp.
- tonyarkles 11y agoHah, I have only once managed to get one hot, but its ability to simultaneously execute code was seriously compromised!
