𓀐 @p~KvvCyw: Here we discuss microcontrollers (MCUs), single board computers (SBCs), and their accessories, such as Atmel mega and tiny AVRs (Arduinos), PICs, ARM boards such as blue/black pill STM32, ESP8266/32s, RP2040, Raspberry Pi, and others. For general electronics questions (power supplies, level shifting, motor driving, etc.) please ask /ohm/. >where can I find verified quality microcontrollers and other electronic sensors or parts digikey.com mouser.com arrow.com newark.com >but that's too expensive aliexpress.com (many parts here are fake, particularly specific parts out of stock in the above sites) lcsc.com >I need a part that does X and Y, with Z specifications. How can I find it? use DigiKey's or Octopart's parametric part search. Then purchase from one of the sellers listed above. >how do I get started with microcontrollers, where should I start? There is no defined starting point, grab a book and start reading or buy an arduino off ebay/amazon and start messing around. There are a plethora of examples online to get started. >resources: https://github.com/kitspace/awesome-electronics >RISC-V microcontroller list: https://codeberg.org/20-100/Awesome_RISC-V/raw/branch/master/RISC-V_MCU_development_boards.pdf

Retarded lurker here... I do not have the funds yet to get into at least starting to make stuff with these microcontroller deals... how do I explain to my boomer parent who WAS an Electrical Engineer who worked for SONY way back compact disks released, that getting a proper workstation and work on this will further my cyber security degree route.... I can only think of how these could further my understanding of hardware and software security... I just do not know how to explain it so I am not getting chastized for seeking out knowledge.... other than saying hey the chinese are able to get into your net and finances through your unsecured printed btw
