Ch55xduino, Arduino development package for ch55x

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 key is the ulta low cost of the chip.

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.

I like it.
But, as mentioned, we need an english data sheet.
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.

There are translated datasheets available for the ch554 and for the 
ch559.
I did the USB Part myself

Here we have a big thread about the WCH MCUs in German.

Btw Aaron here did recently something similar

Hi Denqing,

Why did you deleted the Youtube Comments from my Implementation of the 
CH55xDuino ?

Not so cool.

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 :)
