Padauk Microcontrollers Exploration And Usage Then there’s the actual programming of the mcus. the micro c compiler padauk provides essentially implements a sub set of the c language, with some macros to replace things like for loops. The padauk microcontrollers — especially the 3 cent pms150 and newer pms150c — are all the rage these days. i first heard of the part via a @mikelectricstuf tweet . dave jones of the eevblog did a brief (for him) video looking at the padauk stuff, and then a pair of videos using the padauk ice and programming an otp part .
Padauk Microcontrollers Exploration And Usage In 2019 tim’s blog published an exciting piece called “ the “terrible” 3 cent mcu – a short survey of sub $0.10 microcontrollers .”. and as you can read, did things from padauk come up as a good choice. combined with with the open source toolchain free pdk (and the easy pdk programmer) was this a no brain contender for more exploration. By: jenny list. december 29, 2021. if you follow the world of small microcontrollers you will certainly be familiar with the usual fare of atmel, arm cortex, pic, and others. but these aren’t. The main focus is on supporting µcs of two padauk series: m series otp (otp = one time programmable) f series mtp (mtp = multiple time programmable) padauk µcs are extremely inexpensive, priced as low as $0.03 pc in volumes of 100, which is why they generated a lot of interest in the hardware community. Getting it onto just any microcontroller seemed too easy, so i wanted it to run on the smallest µc i could find — the attiny4. a while later, i ported the program onto the infamous three cent microcontroller, the padauk pms150c. oh, and it’s completely self contained inside an rca jack – and detects when it gets plugged in.
