You'd think that 8- and 16-bit platforms would be obsolete by now. Never ceases to amaze me how much runway they have despite all of these super cheap 32-bit options coming to market

Exact same though I had 3 years back, but I have seen some niche industries in India they still use 8 bit MCUs. Some people still wants to continue with even 8051 (family).

Hi @Petr Dvořák ,
I didn't know about the '?''?' wildcard option for designators in KiCAD. Thank you for pointing that out!
This will already help me for 90% of the cases I struggle with. In my next design, I will for sure use this wildcard to avoid non-matching designator numbers.

However, the other 10% of cases is when a design is "ready" but I forgot to add a component here or there. Last minute changes - you know... I think I can still use my script in those particular circumstances. So the effort is not in vain

Thanks again for pointing out the wildcard option. I learned again something new today.

Hey @MCU, MPU & Kits fans. Just a reminder on tomorrow's Office Hours meetup, which will feature a discussion on transitioning from Maker platforms like Arduino to professional development tools/solutions.

I actually think we'll hear about a lot of developers who migrated in the other direction. In fact at CES I met with my friend Marcellino Gemelli of Bosch Sensortec who said they've gone all in on the Arduino Pro line.

Hi @accur4te at that time I used python2.7 which used to come by default in older raspbian os. Now in 2024, if you're trying run Python code it will throw an error. As per new changes Raspberry Pi OS uses python3 by default. Apart from this don't forget to install paho-mqttpaho-mqtt library. Share more details about what kind of error show-up on RPi terminal
