It's sort of a shame this is built around an Atmega chip as opposed to an ARM Cortex M0 like in the Teensy. I guess it doesn't need much horsepower for a 128x64

It's sort of a shame this is built around an Atmega chip as opposed to an ARM Cortex M0 like in the Teensy. I guess it doesn't need much horsepower for a 128x64 monochrome display, but it wouldn't have been much more expensive to put a much more powerful CPU in it. E.g., if you want to maintain a framebuffer, there goes 40% of your RAM.
- mmastrac 10y agoI had the same thought. At this point, those 8-bit computers are really not worth it unless you are using the really tiny form factors and size is a major concern.
- uola 10y agoSeemingly the whole point is to be accesible and simple by being arduino compatible. It has also already sold and shipped $400k+ worth.
- Sanddancer 10y agoThe Teensy is source-level compatible with the arduino, so it would have pretty much the same level of accessibility.
