Week Two: Embedded Programming

So this was a simulation week !

For this simulation week I decided to do a chaotic generator in wokwi

Anyone who knows me, knows pretty well that I am a big lover of chaos. So this was a fun little chaos machine to play with.

The code for it can be downloaded here.

Also for a groupassignment we compared micro-controllers:

The primary distinction between different types of microcontrollers lies in their architecture, with two notable categories being AVR8 and ARM32.

AVR, introduced in the 1990s, uses RISC instructions and is widely favored for its affordability and popularity. In contrast, ARM-based microcontrollers are generally more powerful but come at a higher cost and consume more power. Microcontrollers also vary in bit size, such as 8-bit, 16-bit, and beyond, with higher bit versions typically offering greater speed at an increased price.

Within the AVR category, the ATTINY series stands out. On the ARM32 side, popular options include SAMD, RP2040, and ESP32.
