AVR is still fine for many uses but it's a 16bit controller. You can now get 32 bit ARM boards for about the same price, with more memory and better tooling. If starting from scratch, there's no reason to go with AVR.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoAVR can run at 5V and has 10mA drive on it's pins. Sometimes that matters for what you need to interface with. The newer chips with integrated USB have nice features like a high speed 64MHz timer and the serial port is free of conflicts.
- trasz 5y agoCool. The RP2040 can put up to 12mA, and it's adjustable per pin.
