The competition for "very hard to beat for the money" hasn't been Arduinos for decades; it's cheap ARM Cortex boards, e.g. STM32 Nucleo - or ESP32.
I think ESP32 is really the one to beat.
Arduino have been lazily cashing in on their brand name for many years.
- StableAlkyne 1y agoIs there a good comparison site anywhere for boards nowadays? I still usually gravitate to the Pi or Arduino, but mostly due to a combination of lack of familiarity with other brands, and being a repeat customer for stuff that just works
- IshKebab 1y agoI don't think so. Mbed used to have a nice one for all the boards that support Mbed, but that's dead now. Looks like Zephyr has an extremely comprehensive list: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/boards/index.html https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/boards/index.html Doesn't include prices though, and it's really too comprehensive - it seems to include lots of boards you can't actually buy. So maybe not very useful for finding good boards.
- arjvik 1y agoWhat’s a “good” RiscV board to start using for small projects? Looking for a successor to the RPi - good documentation, easy to write bare metal for (no SDK), no surprises.
