Haven't taken a look at new raspberry pi's in a long time, looks like these were announced in 2021 and 2024. Didn't know they started producing microcontrollers too! Thanks for the tip!

The SDK is good, for something based cmake... Give me straight make! APIs are all C, which is good. It's all just what you'd want to find really. No massive vendor IDE trying to be forced on you. No wacky build systems. No C++.

I like that. Honestly I think I'll try out those models first before I delve into anything else.

The RP2350 has a lot going for it. The ADCs are decent and you can get 8 which is a reasonable number. It's not quite like an STM, but I don't really like STM's own SDK, I prefer libopencm3, and STM are expensive.

Also RP2350 has RISCV core you can use if you want.

Do you happen to know how is the availability?

I recall couple of years back commercial companies started buying pis and microcontrollers and even the company I was working for started to look for arduinos in desperation. This was obviously really shitty for hobbyists because it inflated the prices and availability was poor.

It's fine. They had issues during covid shortages the same as everyone else and that was the full Pi, not the RP2040. Which was actually fine at the time.

That's good to hear. Thanks for all the info, appreciate it!
