Ever wonder which component "brain" is best to run your project? Ponder no more!

  • Hey, watching your shows, the MCU has another pro. You can build it from parts and make design very easy. example 135 you built texting radios using a MCU and built the MCU on the board. In episode 167 with the Raspberry pi parts were removed to make fit in a smaller case. I do not mind removing parts but I brake alot of parts. I like you idea of have the Raspberry pi with optional part ie usb/ethnet/hdmi

  • Got some great answers of the differences between the 3 main used components, but I'm still not sure which is the one i should be thinking of using for say making my own pcb for a cnc machine, or a quadcopter. I like the idea of been able to create your own boards. I do remember my uncle made his own cable box back in the early 80's, in his basement workshop... made the entire board from scratch...
