Rabid Prototypes has taken to Kickstarter once again
to launch their 14th campaign to raise the required funds to take their new
electronic Tachyon Microcontroller development board into production. The
Tachyon is a lightning-fast open-source Arduino Zero compatible board,
featuring a 32-bit ARM M4F processor running at 120MHz, and equipped with 128K
of RAM.
Tachyon’s pinout is nearly identical to both the Neutrino and Arduino
Zero, making it a drop-in replacement for virtually any project already
equipped with one.
Specifications of the Tachyon Microcontroller
include :
– Microcontroller: Microchip ATSAMD51G18A ARM Cortex
M4F
