Welp it had to be. After failing to even get started with the #msp430, the #Arduino, the piece of shit #tiny88, the fuckin #acorn from #digispark, I gave in and bought two rpi2040. I spent today trying to figure out how to output a uart signal. I figured it out for 8 bit. But I learned that 9bit is something you can't do with Arduino X. So here I am doing what I didn't want to do... Gonna try a #raspberrypi. Supposedly it can do #9bitserialcommunication. I highly doubt I will succeed.

I'm thinking I need to do a speed test for my Tiny88, Pi Pico and Arduino Nano Every. My initial thought is to do something like..

Zero timer and counter
start timer
Main point
Add to counter
If timer greater than 10 seconds print counter and quit
Else go back to main point

I'm thinking I should stick to C++ on the Nano and 88 but python on the pi, simply because it will reflect how people actually use the SBCs. Not many want to jump through the hoops needed to do c++ on the Pico.
