Follow us on social! https://linkin.bio/embeddedcomputingdesign Rome wasn’t built in a day — and neither are professional (or just experienced) programmers. Whether you’re 14 or 40, coding and programming can be a hobby, a useful skill to add to your resume, or something more. But you have to start somewhere, right? That somewhere could be this little CodeBugTM. This tiny board is a super versatile programmable (and even wearable) device designed to provide an introduction to basic coding and programming. To help with all the wondrous possibilities, the CodeBugTM includes a Microchip PIC18F high-performance microcontroller, which features a C compiler-optimized RISC architecture and operates at 64MHz. The device can additionally be connected to a Raspberry Pi GPIO to further expand its capabilities. To that end, when used in tandem with a Raspberry Pi GPIO, the CodeBugTM can be controlled and programmed using Python3. The device is outfitted with CodeBug Connect, an IDE and USB disk drive 1 MB of onboard storage space and enabled by Wi-Fi connectivity that allows developers to connect the device directly to a web browser for seamless file transferring and editing. CodeBugTM Connect documentation also includes other resources to help you get started such as sample code and guides on how to create your first program using remote deployment and instructions. With the holidays right around the corner, CodeBugTM is a great gift for anyone interested in learning general-purpose programming. If you or someone you know could benefit from one of these, you can purchase one from Digi-Key for just $19.54. Of course, there’s also the option of entering this week’s raffle to win this CodeBugTM for free — we’ll even ship it right to your door free of charge if you win. Thanks for watching and good luck in the raffle!
