minus-squareCroquette@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoArduino has its place for self-taught hobbyists. For a lot of projects, a simple code is more than enough, so there is no point of going into the more advanced mcu like esp32 or stm32.
minus-squarephlegmy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoNot since the pi pico came out. It’s cheaper, more capable, and you can still use arduino code if you want.
minus-squareCroquette@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoI can find an arduino nano clone for 3$. There are use case for ultra cheap electronics like that.
minus-squareSinAdjetivos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoSure, but you can do better for $3. Smaller, more powerful, similar power consumption

minus-squareSteveTech@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoI can find the official Pi Pico for $3.50, I’m sure clones are cheaper than that.
