What Are Your Most Popular Dev Kits or Reference Design Kits?

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

I was asked this question the other day. What Are Your Most Popular Dev Kits or Reference Design Kits? On impulse, I would venture to say the Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone. I'm sure there are others. Sensor kits, FPGA kits, Motor Contr0ol kits, Power kits, come to mind, but I'm not sure which ones element14 would consider "popular."

So, I figured I would ask you.  What are your most popular kits?  If you have the time, please leave a comment below. 

Thanks

Randall Scasny

    Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pi is my favorite.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of any boards that use the standard layouts such as Arduino Uno or Adafruit Feather. As such, the Nucleo boards from STMicro are always great to work with since they are Arduino…

    STM32 Nucleos are very popular. I have seen them everywhere where the serious MCUs designs are made. I think that there are two key things for making board popular: Price to performance ratio …

    I tend to like development kits that relate to parts that I might want to use in my current or future designs.  The kits that I have gotten the greatest value from were some of the Atmel (now MicroChip) 'Xplained' boards/kits. I used a few of these boards to prototype some of the products that I have produced.  They assess to each pin on the processor and allow you an easy way to interfaces chips to the processor.

    I have purchased several of these boards, utilizing different processors from the ATtiny and Atmega families.

    Xplained boards are nice, but newer Curiosity Nanos are better, I think. Slight smile
