From Arduino's Terms & Conditions [1], Section 8.2: "8.2 User shall not: - translate, decompile or reverse-engineer the Platform, or engage in any other activity designed to identify the algorithms and logic of the Platform’s operation, unless expressly allowed by Arduino or by applicable license agreements; or - extract or make copies of the information contained in the Platform (except with respect to Content owned…

And with such poor value for the money. When an Arduino costs as much as a Raspberry Pi 4, it's eliminated from contention.

The “Platform” is just the website. They are saying don’t hack our servers. There is a caveat for content published under an open source license (like the docs).

A bit of topic , but I wonder if people who are starting in this field not directly start on esp32 platforms. It's so damn easy to develop with AI on these platforms. In the past we spend a week on lcd drivers alone. Now one can build an entire application that controls other devices via serial, has its own fancy UI, has all kind of useless features like 40 languages, its own webserver, OTA, demo modes and more. With…

The first ESP32 board I worked with had some damn WiFi stack running in the background—not nearly as "bare metal" as I had come to expect from having just stepped out of the Arduino world.

(I've since learned, from an LLM, ha ha, how to turn that off if you don't need it.)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Pull off the C/C++ band-aid already, it will give you a clearer understanding of how these chips actually function. =3

Not everybody has time or needs to understand how these chips function. I don't need to know how a CPU functions to write python.

Yeah how dare he suggest you improve yourself or learn more about the thing you seem to be interested in operating. I could understand if we were on a website about technology and curiosity, but this is just hacker news.

can I "teach" my llm on it though?

Later in court: it wasn't me! It was my agent. LLM agent

"Long-Range" sensor projecs? Is the long range in the room with us? It is I2C not very well known for long ranges. Especially with motors and electric drives and their EMI I2C is not the best decision. From the title I was more in "Oh, what type of long range wireless they have opted for?" and didn't expect I2C. For long range wired I would consider more a RS485 or CAN. Short ranges like in a small robot arm, a small…

There is really no good reason to ever use I2C, except if that's the only interface your peripheral supports. Debugging a stuck I2C bus, and attempting to un-brick the bus for a stuck slave (disabling ISRs, unhooking DMA, reconfiguring pins to GPIO, clocking the slave out of its coma and then doing everything in reverse) is just not worth it.

EDIT: I was hoping for HaLow WiFi!
