| Nov 16, 2023 at 1:20 | comment | added | periblepsis | @rhetta It's short-hand for the generic idea of some microcontroller (unit) without being specific about which. Basically, it just means something that only needs power and ground and software and doesn't imply anything about surrounding connections or parts other than the microcontroller itself. Some do require an external oscillator source, most don't these days. It also tends to connote something with just a few pins and usually not 32-bit or 64-bit. But the idea is vague enough that it could in some minds imply more. The idea evolves over time, too. Never the same twice, I suppose. | |
