Review on 🐞 Beetle: The Compact Microcontroller for Arduino by Jason Sullivan

Crap Computers & Accessories

I'm getting this troubleshooting error where my IDE doesn't recognize the device and the port won't activate. The supposed "solution" is to find the right reset pins (which are NOT properly documented. EVER) and then you have to do a magic dance to load the code from the IDE, and then the reset pins shorting for just the right amount of time. Of course, the "right time” is not documented either. The troubleshooting instructions encourage you to just keep trying until you accidentally hit the perfect millisecond. Conclusion: I can't upload any code. It might as well have melted.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Minor
