Re:Gemini can't show me the fastest way to copy memory in C#... by hakfoo on Saturday February 10, 2024 @12:23PM (#39328137)
I think the problem is more that-- assuming a comparable price-- they're probably going to skimp out on the "lower level" stuff in a kit with an Arduino. If you have a perfect timer, you don't need to showcase basic resistor-capacitor timer circuits, or pack a huge bag of related components. If you can define any logic function you want in code, there's no need to discuss wiring 74xx gates to each other.

The person I replied to did not mention anything about what was included in the arduino kits, just that they refused to consider them at all.

How is wiring 74xx gates together more or less applicable to basic electronic circuits than an 8bit CPU breakout board?
