| Feb 11, 2013 at 17:28 | comment | added | Anindo Ghosh | I think that's what we have been debating the last couple of days, in meta and in chat. The jury's still out, and I must admit I am biased because of my real-world associations :-) | |
| Feb 11, 2013 at 17:07 | comment | added | JYelton | @Anindo I agree Arduino is practically its own "subculture" of electronics. Still, I fail to see the harm in hosting Arduino questions here. At the end of the day, it's still electronics engineering related. | |
| Feb 11, 2013 at 9:03 | comment | added | Anindo Ghosh | PIC and AVR are microcontrollers, whereas Arduino is a hardware + software platform that incorporates a microcontroller, its bootloader, an IDE, a set of high level function libraries, and an entirely distinct (some would say insufficiently technical) philosophy of doing things, compared to coding down to the metal on any MCU. The comparison is thus not apples-to-apples at all. Yes, questions would on occasion migrate, as they do from SO or DIY.SE to EE.SE or vice versa | |
| Feb 10, 2013 at 21:51 | comment | added | abdullah kahraman | Maybe the Arduino tag is ignored by default and the EE.SE site asks you if it should remove its "ignore" setting for the first time you visit after the change? | |
