<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Frankly, using RP2040 for 6 tone TOG is not so impressive to make video about it. Microcontroller based TOG replacements are available for decades now. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">> I agree that it does seem a bit crazy to replace some basic logic with a whole uP, but the arguments for doing it are pretty convincing. Doing twelve 9-bit dividers in hardware is going to be a lot of chips, whereas the uP is only one. That makes it much easier to fit inside whatever it is you're fixing. And it's cheaper - a boardful of simple logic costs *more* than a processor these days because of the economies of scale. It *is* crazy to use a million transistors when 10,000 would do, but when they all come on one chip and costs pennies, it starts to make a lot of sense.</p>

They certainly keep the original division ratios and consequent frequency error.</p>
