What is your take on Qualcomm Arduino becoming Persona Non Grata

colporteur 5 days ago

I'm a big Arduino fan. I recall the purchase announcement.

I chimed in at the time but I've been sidelined for the last year on microcontroller project so I have to experience to speak of.

I read this article and thought E14 peoples could share their insight.

I'm switching all my small projects over to Seeed Studio XIAO boards. I certainly can't afford to purchase a bunch of Ventuno boards.

I do a lot of small projects that require I2C, SPI, and a few GPIO, plus maybe a radio. I almost exclusively use XIAO boards for those. I use Arduino and RPi MCUs a lot less than I used to. The ability to have a huge choice of different MCUs in the same small footprint is great and many of the boards are really low cost (under $10).

I think the Uno Q and Ventuno Q may be a good fit for larger projects, but it will take some time to see if they will work for me. I’ve tended to use RPis in that space.

They do look interesting but one question that I could not answer from their product page is what tools do they use to get programmed?

I mean, I do almost all this kind of development inside VSCode with mostly PlatformIO but it wasn't clear if that's the one to use.

I almost always use Zephyr RTOS

I use the Arduino IDE, but you shouldn't have problems using VSCode with PlatformIO. Like the Arduino IDE, you would need to use the appropriate board library (platform) and board specification depending on which Xiao type you are using.
