![]() Sharing on the motivation behind the board on his Hackaday post, Clyde noted that: It was one of the few things Clyde discovered late and we should be getting a new name for the board when it’s ready to go into sales. Ah yes, Launchpad is the name of a board by Texas Instruments. Corpus, the Launchpad is a tiny Arduino compatible microcontroller development board that does away with the “probably overused” ATmega328p used in the classic Arduino boards in favor of a newer, cheaper, and equally capable ATtiny1616 microcontroller. Meet the Launchpad A 2$ development board targeted at helping newbies get into programming and making.ĭesigned by Hackaday user, Clyde D. While catering for advanced users is important, we believe there is room for both and are glad to see someone else thinking and building something along that line. The culture of creating solutions targetted at beginners, is one that is quickly fading in the ecosystem, as most of the boards or project we review in recent times are power-up boards, focussed or more useful to advanced users. Boards like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi have their origins, deep in education, either maker education as a way for people to express themselves (Arduino) or an affordable and portable way for people to learn about computers and programming (Raspberry Pi).
