It recently occurred to me that I have been accumulating microcontroller development boards for a while, so I thought I’d lay them out for a photo!
Reading left to right, top to bottom you can see:
- STM32 “value line” Discovery board
- STM32-L Discovery board
- STM32-F0 Discovery board
- STM32-F4 Discovery Board
- Cubieboard
- Freescale Freedom KL05Z
- Freescale Freedom KL25Z
- Freescale Freedom K20D50M
- Raspberry Pi Model A
- Raspberry Pi Model B
- Digistump Digispark, with and without headers
- “Xino” Arduino kit, not yet assembled
- Genuine Arduino Uno R3
- Arduino Uno “clone” from SainSmart
- Gainer PSOC
- Propeller
The trouble is I keep spotting new ones and being tempted to buy them too!
That is one _hell_ of a collection! I guess it depends on whether you’ve found uses for them all or whether you have too many ‘useless’ ones.
LOL, that’s even bigger (just) than my collection. Those digistumps are quite cute, remind me of the Minimus USB (I bought 10 when the 8KB versions were available at £4 each – since sold out).
No PIC hardware yet? ;-)
There’s also the Launchpad boards – I’ve been tempted by the low price, but I’ve already got more hardware than I’ve got time to play with (e.g. http://www.omnima.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=16180&cat=254 ), so I’ve decided to stop trying to buy new boards for a while.
“more hardware than I’ve got time to play with” is exactly my feeling. I have looked at the Launchpad boards, particularly as this blog post has a project which seems quite a lot like what I need for my bat detector; PICs are intriguing but I’m not sure I would know where to start; and then there’s all the other PSOC chips …
That’s even without considering combination boards such as Parallela and Udoo.
Love the collection!! I don’t think you can ever have to many! In the last three weeks I’ve purchased the following dev boards to add to my collection:
PIC24K series Microstik http://mchp.us/14PQvbH
Atmel Mega128 series board https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9734
PIC24FJ series dev board picoTRONICS24 http://modtronicsaustralia.com/shop/picotronics24-pic24-development-kit/
Now if only I had some time to use them :-) :_)
Thanks. A few more have crept into my collection recently too :)
As well as a few general-purpose ARM and Atmel ones, I’m particularly intrigued by the possibilities of the Cypress PSOC4 ( http://www.element14.com/community/community/knode/dev_platforms_kits/element14_dev_kits/psoc4_pioneer_kit )
