Tagged: SW_IDE_S7
#Discussion(IoTStack) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
Could STM32 Blue Pill overtake Arduino as the preferred platform for creating IoT prototypes?
MakeCode is an open-source visual programming tool that’s easy to learn and use — makers around the world are already using MakeCode today with the BBC micro:bit. It generates Static TypeScript, a variant of JavaScript that’s optimised for newer powerful microcontrollers like Blue Pill. MakeCode could be the missing element that will make Blue Pill wildly successful for IoT.
-Blue Pill is packed with features, yet costs under US$ 2
– Microcontrollers are joining mesh networks to become smarter collectives. Cheap microcontrollers like Blue Pill are needed.
– The closest competitor, ESP8266 / ESP32, is still slowly growing its software base from scratch (though the embedded WiFi is a huge advantage)
5-Blue Pill developers have plenty of open-source Arm and STM32 codeto guide them
So what’s holding back Blue Pill? Blue Pill is way more advanced than the ancient Arduino Uno
