The definitive guide to programming on C.H.I.P. I've been working in the software business for over 30 years but until recently, hadn't been playing directly with Micro Processors. When I bought a Raspberry Pi and then an Arduino, I'm afraid I got hooked. In my house I am surrounded by computers of all shapes, sizes and capacities... any one of them with orders of magnitude more power than any of these small devices... however, I still found myself fascinated. As the number of available single board computers continues to grow, CHIP caught my attention. As one of the cheapest on the marketplace yet remaining full featured... In May 2015, a small company called Next Thing Co launched a Kickstarter project for a new MCU module which they called C.H.I.P. (which in this book I just call CHIP). The goal was to produce a credit-card sized Linux computer for $9. Their initial ask was $50,000 to get the project going. They received $2,071,927!!!
