yeah it’s more efficient this way but all you need is ne555 + mosfet tho? still no need for it to be turing complete

I was just thinking that yeah again all it needs is some basic components. Like how a light bulb or fan might have multiple power settings but I don’t expect them to be able to run doom.

Yes, but think about it like you’re a Chinese manufacturing engineer with only basic electronics education. You COULD do that design, build out the pcb, custom tool it to fit your plastic housing, etc etc… Or you could go to the manufacturer down the street who already makes pre designed voltage reg MCU’s on a board and spend like, 20 minutes in an IDE to code the specific voltage levels and button presses. When production volume and turnaround time is the only things that matter in this shovel waste crap, “wasting” silicon is MORE expensive financially than building out the optimal solution.
