minus-squareFrezik@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·5 days agoNow try debugging on a microcontroller with none of that UART stuff Arduino gives you. Print statements? Ha, try debugging by blinking an LED.
minus-squareTheAgeOfSuperboredom@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 days agoLED? Luxury! 😁 I had one board with an improperly loaded power supply and I could tell what it was doing by the pattern and pitch of the squeal. It did have a debug UART though, but I did come to find the sound pretty useful too!
