~~The chips after the esp8266 are also very nice ๐Ÿ˜Š~~

Edit: Don't mind. I was on mobile and only saw the first column.

The ESPs are really nice. Affordable, nice peripherals and plenty of them. Wifi and Bluetooth are a dream come true for IoT stuff. And they come with crazy amounts of RAM. Like 520kB is plenty. And with the PSRAM we can also fit in seconds of webradio buffer, images and whatever. Also the newer ones also have USB so you can just mount them on the PC and drag and drop Python programs.

I have at least a dozen of them.
