A newbie here.
After reading a small portion of the discussion, this question comes up i
my head, is the cost of microcontroller a very important issue in terms o
picking the right one? How much a microcontroller CAN contribute to
whole product?
Or is it the functionality, speed, power consumption and developmen
toolchain userfriendly-ness more important in the decision?
I am thinking about using Cortex M3 for my server cabinet temp controlle
project, is it a bad choice in any context?
Many thanks in advance
For a server cabinet temp controller project, price doesn't
matter. Choose according to which one will teach you the most.
For the kind of things I do (quantities as high as 100,000
units per hour) price is everything. Do the math.
I just did and find them impressive, especially if the
manufacturing is 24/7 forever. It must be a challenge
to find components in that quantity (0.9 Gparts/year).
I didn't think IC manufacturers could turn out parts at
that rate. If they can, I'd think you'd need to be
mouth-of-the-factory to keep delivery logistics in hand.
