Can you suggest any specific part numbers? Thanks.

Atmel M0s.

The comparison was with the Nucleo 32 board, not a bare package.

Maybe I'd like to publish the design so other people can make their own. People like cheap stuff.

DIP is easier for prototyping or hand assembly, and then it's nice to have a compatible SMT part if a board is being made someplace.

Yes I know about those but they're not really comparable.

That's interesting and worth keeping in mind. I'd seen the maple mini before but didn't know about these clones.

In reality the AVR is more than powerful enough for most of the things they are used for: monitor a few pushbuttons, turn a light on and off, etc. High computational power has its uses but I'm also interested in micropower devices where the cpu runs at a few khz, just enough to run an RTC and a few gpio inputs.

But he was correct that you are trolling. Who cares about pinouts. Who cares about the same peripherals. So where is the second sourcing this is about, Einstein. I have yet to see a post of yours which is other than trolling, could you please keep them within SED, not that CAE is perfect but we don't have any regular trolls.

You're as stupid as he is, obviously.

The peripherals are very similar. If your code isn't a pile of spaghetti, changing one peripheral for another isn't a huge problem. The hard stuff doesn't have to change.

To put it another way, "here's your sign." A disagreement is not a troll, stupid.

Perhaps so, engaging in an exchange with the troll of the group I have known to be that for many years. Not the brightest thing to waste my time with indeed.

So you have to redesign the board, you have to modify the software and you have a "second source". Whoever told you you have anything to do with design and programming has lied.

Yeah, feel free to disagree you are a troll. Or that 1+1=2, whatever. Dimiter

Yet you insist on doing what you think to be stupid. That *is* classical stupid.

Better than having no product to sell. Yes.

Yet you're stupid enough to continue doing something that you think is stupid. Amazing. ...or you're just another liar.

So where did I lie, Einstein.

You don't read very well. Either you're stupid or you're a liar. Pick one.
