It is worth pointing out that arduino isn’t all open source, at the very least their pro series is not open source, they say it’s done to stop people making low quality clones but there are plenty other companies that made SBCs and STM32H7 boards before arduino did. I also haven’t seen any clones of their more advanced boards like the mkr series so I don’t know why they would be so concerned with clones in their pro series. It seems they are just making excuses to keep it closed source.
NGL was skeptical about this video at first with the subscriber count and #of views, but damn bro. Great video. Extremely helpful as I currently search for microcontroller/board solutions during my prototype development to get a high level view of what's out there and what it can do. Really love the small images for the sensor types integrated with each board, made it super easy to follow, and the concise descriptions of each board. 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks man, I am glad you found my overview helpful! Feel free to tell me what I could improve and to suggest new topics - Raspberry Pi is on the list already :)
Thanks for the comparison. Haven't looked at the market in years and trying to decide best dev board. Think i'll go with the Teensy 4 as it's quite potent for its small footprint.
I don't know. It's very little memory. I'm having a blast with the Arduino IDE, though. I bought a pile of M5Stack items and I get it working with a bit of effort. Kind of started with Raspberry Pi Pico and MMBasic, but I also burned a PocketCHIP with a few GPIO ideas which started the interest. It's the same protocols all over and 5v/3.3v with very little current. I2C, SPI, Serial, TTL and whatnot is just electronics, so you can chose any. Documentation is important. It will get "easy" after a short while. "Another I2C device today... First we do this and then that."
That was great video:) Quick suggestion something like this quick guide for esp ,raspberry pi,stm would be great they got plenty of variety and confusion to
You got the specs of the portenta X8 quite wrong. The microcontroller used has two M7 cores and one M4 core, the main processor has four A53 cores and one M4 core. So that’s a triple core microcontroller and the microprocessor is quad core plus an M4 core.
Hm... I must disagree. The datasheet for X8 (docs.arduino.cc/resources/datasheets/ABX00049-datasheet.pdf) and Arduino Store (store.arduino.cc/products/portenta-x8) refer to STM32H747 as a "dual-core microcontroller" and to NXP i.MX 8M Mini as a "dual-core microprocessor". Both terms also appear on the back of the Portenta X8 box. Yes, technically speaking, NXP i.MX 8M Mini is in fact a 4+1 core microprocessor, but STM32H747 is not a triple core microcontroller, as confirmed by another datasheet on STMicroelectronics website (www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32h747xi.html)

Yes, that's true, they only publish PRO hardware schematics, but not editable board files - forgot to mention that, thanks!
Well described, solved so many doubt about which board to choose.
Thank u so much 😊
I’m glad you found it helpful, have fun with your new arduino!
@@TommyBiancoTM sure Tommy. Thanks
You helped me get much sorted out with this video. Amazing video, thanks a lot for the brief overview.
Glad you found it helpful! Let me know if there are other topics you’d like to see (:

If you look for something compact, I’d also consider Wemos Mini’s, especially their S2. Best choice, of course, depends on whether you need wireless.
@@TommyBiancoTM I have a wemos d1 and I love working with it. I'll definitely check out the mini s2. Appreciate the suggestion!
@bhambhole glad it helps! I plan to make a video on ESP-based boards once I find time - it is quite a rabbit hole with many interesting options
@@TommyBiancoTM I'm digging through the data sheets now. Would love to see you cover it. Hitting the bell icon now 😉
very good video thanks for this !
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it, thanks :)
Great video. Well presented. Thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thank you, just what I was hoping to find. Did like though, sorry

Quick suggestion

Thanks for the idea!
I’ll add deep dive videos for ESP and Raspberry Pi to my plan :)
La ringrazio per il suo video. Me Peace molto

Subscribed dude😃
Appreciate it!
Arduino mkr vidor 4000 anybody. Quite q useful board if you need to convert canbus signals into motor motion...
What about Arduino 101
