Enough people have data that only requires 32 gb . I agree it ' s a pain in the ass to use 32 gb because I usually fill it up . I don ' t think storage is very expensive so I don ' t see why a base model has to be 32 gb . But it is what it is . <| sep |> this sounds like something that a filler queen from rupaul ' s drag race would release . <| sep |> golden parakeet or golden conure , Guaruba guarouba , is a mediumsized goldenyellow Neotropical parrot native to the Amazon Basin of interior northern Brazil . <| sep |> Damn . I might have to visit the store because $ 260 CDN is not appetizing . <| sep |> Wow , a lot of information here , and a lot of semiinformation . Remember , you saw it on the web , so it must be true . I ' ve done a lot of work using dynamic allocation on Arduinos . 1 . Yes , it works . Nicely . 2 . I usually malloc at startup . This is especially useful when dealing with things like LED strips and LCD displays . I can calculate their parameters at setup , then allocate the device and use a pointer to it . myLedbegin instead of myLed . begin , etc . This lets me use the same code on production runs when the physical addresses of thermometers , for example can vary . 3 . A lot of the standard libraries STL , I ' m looking at you assume there is RAM to spare . Lots of it . Even the others use up decent amounts . 4 . C methods don ' t use up extra RAM . I ' ve tested this . 5 . Yes , if you are mallocing in loop , you will have to be just as careful as in real code to monitor for memory leaks . They will kill your app . Might be worth throwing in some ASSERTs and stressing while debugging . Also , while debugging , do a malloc 100 in setup and just keep the memory . This will quicken up a stress test while checking for leaks by reducing the heap size . 6 . Manaicbug is a good provider . If you can tighten the code , work with himher ? . This would be great ! I ' ve had to tune my code a lot at times to fit into 2 K . 300 LEDs at 4 bytes apiece calculation buffer RGB storage takes a big chunk of the space .
