Ch55xduino is an Arduino-like programming API for the CH55X, a family of low-cost MCS51 USB MCU. The project tries to remove the difficulty of setting up a compiling environment. Users can simply write code in Arduino IDE and hit one button to flash the chip to get code running. No configuration or guesswork needed. CH551/2/4 may be the lowest part count system that works with Arduino. The minimal system only requires one chip, 2 decoupling capacitors, and one optional pull-up resistor. These features made it ideal for DIY projects. At this moment the project is still working-in-progress. Support most Arduino functions (Except pulse, shift, tone). Refer to examples in this repo for more info. https://github.com/DeqingSun/ch55xduino
This board looks very similar like the Arduino Micro or the Adafruit Pro Trinket. What are the benefits of your board compared to them? Why re-invent the wheel again?
Is the datasheet of the CX552 only available in chinese? I think the 1kB RAM is not enough for an average Arduino based application.

The EEV Blog released a couple of videos about this chip and the effort the community put into building a development environment and reverse engineering some commands. Because, the documentation is mostly chinese and there are more or less no ressources availiable.
Thank you. For hobby electronics, it does not matter if the MCU costs 10 cent or 100 cent. So for china this could be an interesting product. But I doubt that the rest of the world is interested as long the datasheet is not well translated.

And, considering how clumsy the Arduino implementation of STM blue pill is (delivered without Arduino USB boot loader, must be flashed beforehand by serial method, but who needs Arduino if he already can flash the chip in a much better way including fuses), I hope that this will work right out of the box. An original Arduino installs it's driver upon first contact with the host systen. THATs the user friendlyness that Arduino stands for and made it popular.

I did the USB Part myself https://github.com/kprasadvnsi/CH559_Doc_English Here we have a big thread about the WCH MCUs in German. Beitrag "uC für 0,20€ CH552 / CH554 von WCH Billig Micro mit USB Funktion, Chip vorstellung" Btw Aaron here did recently something similar Thomas
Hi Denqing, Why did you deleted the Youtube Comments from my Implementation of the CH55xDuino ? Not so cool. https://youtu.be/EMDJe7JQ76g
Hi Aaron, I have no idea why it is invisible. But I really didn't delete it. Here is the comment on my Youtube app. I don't know why it is invisible on your page. I can not see it on the regular youtube page either.
You can not build an Arduino Micro or the Adafruit Pro Trinket for less than $1 each. But this board you can. Also, there is no fine pitch part on this board. The soldering is much easier.
Thank you Denqing for clarifying it. Strange youtube censorship Then forget about it :)
