Microcontrollers

digilog.pk stocks the full range of microcontroller development boards and bare microcontroller chips available in Pakistan — Arduino (ATmega328P, ATmega2560), ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, PIC, AVR, ARM Cortex-M, Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040), and more. Whether you need a complete dev board to prototype quickly or a bare IC for final PCB integration, we have the right microcontroller at the best price with fast nationwide delivery.

Why Microcontrollers?

• Embedded control — process sensor inputs, drive outputs, and run control loops in real time
• Low power — µA sleep currents enable years of battery life in IoT nodes
• Deterministic timing — hard real-time response impossible on Linux-based systems
• Small footprint — bare ICs integrate directly into your custom PCB
• Huge ecosystem — Arduino, PlatformIO, and MPLAB X provide rich toolchains

Microcontroller Families

• AVR (ATmega328P, ATmega2560) — the core of Arduino Uno and Mega; 8-bit; massive tutorial library
• ESP32 / ESP8266 — Xtensa 32-bit with WiFi + Bluetooth; king of IoT applications — see ESP32 & ESP8266
• STM32 (ARM Cortex-M) — 32-bit high-performance; for motor control, DSP, and industrial communication
• PIC (Microchip) — widely used in Pakistan universities; 8/16/32-bit families with MPLAB X
• RP2040 (Raspberry Pi Pico) — dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+; MicroPython and C SDK
• MSP430 — Texas Instruments ultra-low-power; for coin-cell operated sensing
