hi all, i don't know, but it seems the teensy series are a bit overpriced compared to the competition?
as i found a cortex m3 with 80mhz cpu 512k ram, 1024k flash, wifi, which is breadboard friendly and includes a serial programmer for a total price of $5,50 (rounded upwards) excluding shipment.
the embedded module (stamp size, for custom pcb's) seperate costs 1,99$
i know it doesn't beat the teensy in size, as the setup requires interface wiring for uart programming and is a bit more difficult to set up.
it has arduino IDE support too.
this makes me wonder the extra price you pay for the great support by teensy is worth it?
i won't link the product here, unless i get approval from paul.
so, to sum it up: the teensy is great in small sized projects, but is 'bigger' in one's wallet.
question to all:
would you like the excellent support by PJRC and like to pay more for it compared to the meh support and cheap price?
