Easy & Powerful Arduino Alternative? #2 MSP432 Beginner's Guide snnwstt: I got the newest version few weeks ago (November 2019) and it does not require any welding anymore (unless you add an optional LCD or OLED display to it. It also uses CSS version 9 (looking familiar if you know, say Microsoft Visual Studio, wit extra views and add-ons to debug a MCU after all) and the TI's site seems more up to date too, with a lot of new stuff. Seems that TI is pushing hard to promote it. Less details are required to install the soft, with a more straight approach from the doc too to use it. Still, the later online tutorials are clearly perfectible though. They, TI, don't seem to have clearly identify the intended audience yet (sometimes too basic, sometimes too many details obscuring rather than explaining, .. The hardware seems really great though, impressive.

Idk how to feel about using msp with energia. I mean energia is a crappier version of arduino. Try making complex applications with ccs/iar and you'll be missing for a month digging through non-existent resources, convoluted million page long datasheets, and half baked sdks to apparently make development easier.
Want to make something quick and dirty -> arduino + atmel chips
Want to learn and/or develop commercial consumer products - > IAR workbench + TI/stm chips to get started

Raspberry Pi is a Single Board Computer that has these GPIO. Yoi should try this out as well and make conclusion whether this can be considered a microcontroller.
You will program the GPIO with Python using the library.
Careful though. It is not as durable as those others like Arduino and these alternates that focuses on Microcontroller. Just one volt mistake can destroy your 35!

Hey man, I love your stuff!
I have a touch of criticism as a long time viewer. The title of this video was for an Arduino substitute, but given the lack of supported features, it really wasnt. I know TI probably wanted you to focus on their kit, and thats fine, just try not to get in the habit of making misleading titles.
Love your stuff, keep on being top notch

Yo GreatScott, i have some ideas for projects you can
try/create to make a new video: D
1. a mobile car heating for the driver area and windows
2. a present card, and if you open it will play your music
3. a little spy cam with memory for videos
Hope this are good concepts for you; p

Good! But a bit of advice, when you mention arduino you should be a little specific because arduino DUE is still more powerful than these two boards. I know when you say arduino you mean UNO but most people don't.

Regarding other alternative MCUs, I have been looking at Atmel/Microchip's ARM MCUs, the ATSAMD21 and 51. Adafruit put out the Metro Grand Central with the '51 in the Arduino Mega form factor.

Am I the only one who finds this board very confusing compared to the Blue Pill (STM32) or the Teensy? And. I don't know, I just don't have a good feel about it.

Given that the Arduino Uno official boards around 20 the competitive price of the TI board is very attractive If you're looking to support the first party manufacturer.

It would be good to have a video on the different mcu commercially available on the market and how to use them. Something that is more industrial than Arduino.
