    You claim that resistors are not simple components and back this up by showcasing multiple circuits with components that are not resistors. Resistors are the simplest components because they are linear and don’t have any calculus operations like with capacitors and inductors.

    FYI: The best microcontroller for a flashing LED project is not using a microcontroller, just a 555 timer IC, one capacitor, three resistors, and an LED, with two additional capacitors optional since they are more for using it as a CPU clock and not as an LED timer circuit. No programming required, only math you can do on a calculator.

    • @elewizard

      Why you are not using two transistors instead? If the problem is only blinking an LED. here the problem is not to blink an LED. The problem is to setup and configure the MCU

The datasheet is copyrighted 1975, lol.) and I have no idea what they have been used for or what the internal ROMs have been programmed with. Anyone got any idea how I could get a ROM dump out of them or how/if I could bypass the internal ROM and use an external EEPROM for program storage?

    To turn on/off an AC appliance (like a light bulb), of course it's much simpler to just use a *relay* which can switch both AC and DC loads. The only real purpose of introducing a triac to a system is to clip the AC waveform and provide throttling which is a super useful function. That could have been made clear at the beginning of the video.
