I'm thinking of getting one of the dev board that Dave made a comparison video of, maybe I can join in on the black magic fun
All joking aside, beside the two big camps (which are now one
) MicroChip and Atmel, might as well look at other niche/market specific/application specifics Microcontroller like Renesas, Panasonic(If they still exist when we compile the data), etc etc and maybe someone(me included) can very well develop a beginner friendly dev board.
Just throwing out my 2 ringgit (not much value seeing as our currency is dropping rapidly)
