Arduino has been cheating on you. Part one
The boss of it all
I know. It’s hard to accept. You’ve been loving somebody who has been lying to you. Somebody who was hiding uncomfortable truths.
Let’s talk seriously
Before you think I am mad, I am talking about Arduino in this series of articles.
And to be concise, I will reveal all the secrets Arduino has been hiding from you.
And you should care about all these things if you want to increase your literacy on embedded SW and firmware and you must care about them if you want to become an embedded SW developer.
But, what’s wrong with Arduino?
Well, nothing indeed. Arduino is an ecosystem made of boards and a SW layer that allows people with scarce knowledge in programming to create their own HW/SW projects.
But, but… a big fat BUT.
When you try to do something a little complex or you are compelled to dig deeper in this world of “firmware and embedded systems” then, you realize that Arduino is hiding lots of things.
Lots of important things
The sort of things you should know if you are pursuing a career in embedded systems or want to be more than just an Arduino maker.
