WCH has recently launched a new ultra-low-cost RISCV microcontroller, CH32V003. It runs at 48Mhz and has 16KB Flash and 2KB RAM along with other general-purpose interfaces (GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART) available on most microcontrollers. The MCU could be used in many low-end applications where cost is a major constraint due…

⚡Many engineers, startup founders don’t understand clearly what is Hardware Design, they don’t see any difference between Hardware design and PCB Design. They ask questions like “can you design PCB for my battery-based sensor or BMS or data logger?” What they really mean is “can you design hardware for my…
