Microcontrollers & SBCs
- Microcontrollers are special purpose PCBs [Printed Circuit Boards], while SBCs are Single Board Computers.
Single Board Computers (SBCs)
Raspberry Pi
- A family of SBCs
BeagleBone
- An opensource SBC platform that includes several models of varying capabilities
ZimaBoard
- A crowd-funded, hackable SBC
Microcontrollers
RP2040 Boards
- In 2020, Raspberry Pi introduced their first custom chip, the RP2040, first used in the RPi Pico. It has become wildly popular as the basis for a number of devices.
RPi Pico & Pico W
Badger2040
Tiny 2040
Arduino
- Rather than SBCs, Arduino (and Arduino-compatible) boards are microcontrollers, suitable for robotics and other embedded applications.
Arduino-Compatible Boards
BBC micro:bit
Circuit Playground Express
Seeeduino Xiao SAMD21
ESP32 & ESP8266
- Arduino-compatible, but also runs on MicroPython
ESP32-Based Boards
Bee Motion ESP32 PIR Motion Sensor
IDEs
- Integrated Development Environments
Books & References
Programming Books
Online Resources for Microcontrollers
- articles & tutorials
Glossary
- a growing collection of terminology used in the SBC/microcontroller world
Electronic Components
- Resistors, Diodes, Capacitors, oh my!
