I have no idea why, but it's just so damned satisfying
I'm an embedded developer and a few years ago I introduced another (web/desktop) developer to simple microcontrollers. His reaction was the same. It's basic programming, but there is something really visceral about making a cylon LED chaser or wiggling a motor back and forth.
That connection to the physical world outside the computer is what's kept me in embedded systems for 20 years.
