    nice!

    Canโ€™t find it anymore…

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aldrick Castro says:

    whats the website for this?

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MrHallows says:

    An oldie, but undoubtedly a goodie.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! David Perkins says:

    a 'cheat-sheet' on steroids! Does it come with a magnifying glass? ๐Ÿ™‚

    I would like to add a little word to the start of this video: HI!!!

    Wow that's so cool! ย My last design had an Intel chip with a 1700+ page manual. ย Would have loved this sheet for that thing!

    Dave, it appears you pulled the links, as they probably disappeared as well. Searches for NEC uC datasheets produce anything from 16 pages to 763 pages. Aughh…

    Should we call this "Documentatiophilia"? ๐Ÿ˜‰ย

    Dave's in love with 80 pin flatpack

    i always feel that, since documentation isn't an essential part of a product, cases where the docs are good means that the product itself is probably pretty descent. no one's going to spend a lot of time documenting a poor product.

    Two people clearly need new glasses when clicking the *thumbs up* button ๐Ÿ™‚

    I've noticed that "unbelievably bad" and "unbelievably good" evoke the same reaction, rapid exhalation! I've had my laugh at this, but seriously, I am enjoying your vblogs.

    Hi Dave, there are these things right that were invented a long long time ago that will probably give as much excitement and enthusiasm as you have for these one page datasheets. They're called "Sheilas"! Might wanna check 'em out ๐Ÿ™‚

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adrian Gallus says:

    he is driven crazy by pdfs…

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James O'Doherty says:

    I think that's just what "trawling" sounds like with an accent. ๐Ÿ™‚

    @TheMrHwarang Yes. There are many meaning for the word trolling. Are you going to have a giggle when I say I wear thongs?

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ivan V says:

    If someone did that for any popular microcontroller I would buy them in a breeze.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cary Swoveland says:

    Dave is a kid!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars EEVblog says:

    @truhlikfredy That's likely!

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars truhlikfredy says:

    you probably inhaled the solder smoke for way to long ๐Ÿ˜€

    Pretty amazing video ๐Ÿ™‚ I also love simplicity. It reduces time required to quickly learn the new uC. Toshiba and Fujitsu also produces some insane uC's that nobody (i mean, few guys) might have touched.

    I recently got to use a Rabbit semiconductor single-board computer for a project, and they had a similar poster (a bit larger than what you've shown from NEC) and I had the same impression: awesome!

    Whoa, that's gorgeous!
