The Adafruit Feather form factor and the Raspberry Pi 40-pin header have a similar effect. In these cases it's because of an open specification and a rich market in IO boards.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoIt's odd because I've never seen an RPi header on anything but an RPi, but Arduino is ubiquitous. I find it hard to believe some scrappy maker enthusiasts in 2005 accidentally changed every vendor's form factor, especially considering they can't even agree on an IDE, and those came first. Seems like there must have been an consortium or a spec or an RFC that was agreed upon? Odd that arduino.cc doesn't mention it.
