New ARM based MegaDrum running at 72MHz is now available

Submitted by dmitri on Tue, 04/12/2012 - 21:38

From today, 4th December, I introduce a new MegaDrum hardware version. It is STM32F103RCT6 (Cortex M3 ARM) based running at 72MHz with built-in USB support.

For now the main advantage of the new version is a reduced by around 2ms latency over USB thanks to elimination of an intermediate USB chip.

To assure all MegaDrum owners I have to state:
1. I will continue to support Atmega644 and Atmega1284 based MegaDrum hardware and release new Atmega644/1284 firmware versions for any foreseeable future.
2. I will continue to offer Atmega1284 based modules/kits (if they remain in demand) along with ARM based kits/modules with a small price difference between them.
3. Everyone, who ordered Atmega based kits/modules in the past, will get a 15% discount when ordering ARM based kits/modules.
