Mind Map

First of all I did a mind map to understand the embedded systems better.

Microcontroller comparison

I compared two different microcontrollers: ATtiny1614 vs RP2040.

You can find my comparison table here.

This are the datasheets I used:

ATtiny1614

RP2040

Wokwi

This week I started with something simple to try out the inputs and outputs in relation with the microprocessor

1. Open Wokwi and choose the PiPico

2. Select the Micropython starter template

3. Add a button, a resistor and a Led

4. Connect the circuits

5. Write the code


        from machine import Pin
        import time
        button = Pin(12, Pin. IN,Pin.PULL_DOWN)
        led = Pin(1,Pin.OUT)
        while True:
        if button.value():
        led.toggle()
        time.sleep(0.5)
