I was very confused when the article referred to

> Chief microcontroller rival Adafruit

Implying that Adafruit makes their own competing microcontrollers, which sure would have been news to me.

Edit: sees sibling posted at the same time. Well that would explain it.





Historically neither of them made any microcontrollers. Arduino shipped Atmel and Raspberry Pi chips. Adafruit has boards with a variety of microcontrollers from various brands on them.

This is different now that Arduino is Qualcomm-owned and ships Qualcomm silicon, of course.


To be fair they're shipping Qualcomm+STM silicon now.
