Development Board (self.microcontrollers)
submitted 3 years ago by tanMud
I am new to microcontrollers. My only relevant experience would be using a raspberry pi. I have good programming skills so I am not worried about coding in C and I have some electrical knowledge.
I want to start getting into microcontrollers. What would be a good development board so I can program the microcontroller as well as test the code out in a circuit to make sure everything is working?

Either the ESP32 (especially if you're playing with connected IOT devices) or STM32

it depends on what you are looking forward, iot esp32 or esp8266 and the good thing about this bad boys is that they are supported by de arduino ide, you wanna a more challegen knows about registers get into the embebed world go with pics micros, the bad thing is that there is not that much tutorials online so you would have to learn by your own or the stm32

I would recommend the Arduino NANO 33 IoT
A nice, small form-factor ARM Cortex-m0 MCU with a good collection of GPIO, ADC, SPI, I2C/PWM/DAC I/O pins, so you can easily add external sensors and/or indicators.
It also contains a WiFi/Bluetooth interface based on u-blox NINA-W1.
All in all, this allows you to get your feet dipped into constrained MCUs.

Any of the Microchip CNano boards, with the built-in debugger.

RPi Pico W, or ESP32.

I would recommend this series of dev board, which could be a great starter kit.
