| Nov 18, 2016 at 7:19 | comment | added | Lundin | @rackandboneman Why would you call one of the least code-efficient CPUs ever made elegant? Elegant like an elephant in the porcelain store. Time to pick up C programming, perhaps. | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 18:44 | comment | added | R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE | @rackandboneman: If you use a modern chip targeted by GCC or LLVM, you'll never have to learn any MCU. Just write high-level code. | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 16:08 | comment | added | rackandboneman | 8051 is elegant, and it doesn't seem to really die, so you can concentrate on programming rather than having to learn a new MCU every few years :) | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 14:40 | comment | added | Lundin | A brand new Cortex M0 costs around 1€. Why would you go dig for old crap MCUs from the Jurassic period? I'd gladly pay hundred times more if it meant that I didn't have to work with some icky old relic like 8051, 68HCxx or PIC. And how are you gonna program them? You'd have to go dig for tools too. Program an 8051 in assembler then build your own in-circuit debugger based on some questionable hobbyist schematics found on the internet? No thanks. I'd rather be up and running on an ARM, with a free C compiler in less than 1 hour. | |
