A small ARM developmentboard from SMDprutser, that is available on GitHub: Searching the prerequisite Chinese websites to satisfy my shopping fetish I came across a neat little ARM Cortex-M0 chip which is an extremely good bang for buck. I believe it is the smallest chip available in a reasonable hand-solderable...Tags: ARM Cortex, developmentboard

Sjaak has published a new build: When you get started on ARM microcontrollers things are very overwhelming at first… After coping with the first few hurdles like installing a toolchain and IDE, the next part should be getting a tool to program the chip. Many vendors have some kind of...Tags: ARM Cortex, STM32

Sjaak has published a new build, the STM32/GD32F103 QFN32 breakout board: Uptill now I used 0603 sized resistors and capacitors but for this project I switched to 0402 to save a few mm on the board. I have soldered many challenging chip packages so I felt confident. The technique is...Tags: ARM Cortex, gd32, prototyping, STM32

Sjaak writes: The battle isn’t AVR Atmega vs Microchip PIC anymore.. More and more people are moving to ARM chips. As easy as it sounds but it isn’t. ARM is an company that invented the ARM chips, but doesn’t has a silicon fab, instead they license the design to several...Tags: ARM Cortex, STM32, toolchain
