Atmel is so visible though, no wonder they're getting gobbled up. From a hobbyist point of view, I see so many projects involving Atmel chips is almost makes me think they have a monopoly on that, growing, segment of the market. This probably has as much to do with cheaper cost as it does with (relative) ease of use.
- gherkin0 11y agoIsn't it more that Arduino boards dominate the hobbyist microcontroller space, and they have historically used AVR? IIRC, most new Arduino models are now ARM based.
- nerfhammer 11y agoNewer ones coming out are ARM but they're not a direct replacement yet due to being significantly more expensive uno currently retails for $25, the arm-based zero is going for $50
- andrey-g 11y agoUno and Zero are not directly comparable.
- wycx 11y agoThere are even some MIPS ones like the Yun which use Atheros SoCs.
