  I messed around with several versions of these and will say they are all sorts of a pain in the ass to get going. The Python stack I was using on them kept crashing when I would put it into power saver mode. Still, it's pretty cool you can buy one for like $2 and basically have a computer that runs Python with some minimal microcontroller functionality.

    I think the software support has improved a lot since I first checked them out about a year ago. I've only used the Arduino libraries, but I haven't had a problem yet. Funny that a 160MHz board with wifi built-in can be referred to as "minimal microcontroller functionality" nowadays.

      Well, I consider a microcontroller to be controlling something not on board, so yeah. :) It's minimal in that it has two pinouts.
