Raspbery Pi Picos are extremely capable for their price as well! It isn't like we are out of options these days.

Sounds crazy, but I just get full pi zero 2s for any little hobby projects. It’s just simpler to have everything even if I’m only blinking leds.

As far as I know, these don't have programmable IOs (PIO), though, which may make it more difficult if you want fine timing control of your GPIO, such as "bit-banging" (not really with PIO) arbitrary protocols. And they have much lower power consumption.

Fair point though, the price difference isn't much, an the Pi Zero are much more capable.

I actually have a KB2040 too from Adafruit, they snuck it in there (free) I think from when I ordered 20 of these metal gear servos

We all really should be supporting the Teensy guy.

Paul is an amazing person. Brilliant, broad skillset, and a pleasure to talk to. If he was a little less introverted he’d be the new Wozniak.

They are expensive but damn the IO is insane, I made a robot with a Teensy 4.0 and the clock speed damn base is 600Mhz

I think I know all those words but as an outsider I have no idea what you're saying :D

Just a bunch of microcontroller providers, the last one is an FPGA, I still haven't learned FPGAs yet or how to design my own PCB but on the list

edit: beagle bone black is an SBC apparently
