@AmpBenzScientist i realise this is how it works but that doesn't mean i'm not allowed to bitch about it and point out examples of it being done better
@AmpBenzScientist i have this rant whenever i have to work with embedded systems, really. but i gotta say, it felt a lot less chaotic to work with the Microchip PIC series of chips.
@AmpBenzScientist Microchip had their PIC BASIC stuff before Arduino was even a thing. they have some experience with making stuff more user friendly. with that said, their PIC32MX chips (MIPS based) were more of a pain to work with.
@lore I think you would be pleased to know that MIPS now produces RISC-V MCUs. Maybe they realized that no matter how impressive it seemed on paper, they had a dumpster fire for people that had to work on them. I will admit that they were impressive and I have seen some of the most professional Low C code used on MIPS.
