Since the past decade, the Arduino reached a high level of visibility on Maker's community. Before, projects were build using PIC microcontrollers, coded in Assembly language and needed a set of IDEs and hardwares to upload the code to the chip. Nowadays, the Arduino raised up the concept of DIY (Do it yourself) projects of this context, by reaching students, children and hobbyists, helping them to build projects in a easier way.

However, would Arduino be the only one that can influence the Maker's community? In this talk, it will be presented a set of other plattforms to build embedded systems projects, aiming the best performance and low costs.
