One of the features of most microcontrollers is that they allow easy access to connected peripherals like sensors and actuators. This allows fast, accurate, and inexpensive operation. However some recent Arduino boards use microcontrollers that obfuscate the underlying hardware interfaces. A look into the Arduino Library for these parts show that they are calling vendor …
I thought it would be interesting to compare the speeds of various Arduino boards, from older designs to the newest microcontrollers. I looked at the following: Note that the Nano 33 IoT, the Nano RP2040, and the Uno R4 (WiFi version) all have an ESP32 as a coprocessor for the radio functionality. The Nano ESP32 …
