is there a finished microcontroller module on tsci's repos?

tested and physically ordered? No- though we would fund people to do this!
the most complex tscircuit boards- some with fairly complex IC routing, are here: https://github.com/tscircuit/sparkfun-boards

we are looking to sponsor $500-2.5k/mcu board if people make good ones. Let me know if you have a project in mind!
we like the RP2040/RP235x chips fwiw
but others are probably ok
i might try to use one of the really cheap CH32V003 chips.
yea that's fine
i love that
we'll 100% sponsor fabrication as long as your board is open-source, and like i said if it works we have $500-$2.5k/completed board. It's worth more if it uses auto-layout/autorouting and also points for complexity
i don't put bounties up for these yet even though they're extremely valuable because often people run into bugs and I feel bad when they put a lot of effort in, but you're a smart guy and can figure it out 😁
btw i love those cheap chips haha
very exciting
so, do i just start a git repo with the chip and then send a link somewhere once im done?
yep, as long as you have a LICENSE file w/ MIT/Apache 2 and it's pushed to tscircuit.com you're good
i would recommend MIT because then we can credit you and add it to our official sample boards at some point
any bugs you fix along the way can get you sponsorship/bounties as well
the ch32v003 needs an external programmer. is that fine? and also would that be under the sponsor? since i don't have usb serial adapter yet.
You’ll need to write a proposal for that, if you make the repo and create an issue we can review it and put a budget on equipment etc
@Seve what do you think? https://tscircuit.com/Heinrich-XIAO/greenpill
Heinrich-XIAO/greenpill - tscircuit
It is a microcontroller-based development board featuring a CH32V003F4P6 microcontroller with wiring for power, reset, UART communication, an LED power indicator, and optional reset button and jumper connections. To import and use the greenpill component in a project:
```tsx
import Greenpill from "@tsci/Heinrich-XIAO.greenpill"
export default ...
Hehe i wish the build was working, will check out soon
build fixed
Looks like a nice module
I wonder if we could put it in the micromod processor board form factor
Are you trying to manufacture as is? How is it programmed
it's programmed with a WCH-LinkE
Via the jumper?
yup
Yea we can sponsor this, can you put it inside a micromod processor board form factor? Will look more impressive for our investors 😁
If you import @tscircuit/common it should work.
The programmer is cheap and we can sponsor it too
like this: https://www.sparkfun.com/micromod?
MicroMod - SparkFun Electronics
MicroMod
Yep! It should be simple to shove it inside using @tscircuit/common. @Abse did a lot of work on it
I will try to help in a sec
Or maybe later
But then i can easily play with the module with function boards for testing
Its a really cool little chip
Oh btw how is this powered….
Maybe micromod can provide power?
i think it can from what i can tell
since its just m.2
I guess its just a module atm
yeah
Yea cant wait to play with it
