ESP8266, buy a couple of them, learn how to make the light blink, connect using builtin Wifi, send data, etc. $3 from China to $10 in USA. Get the NodeMCU form factor, add usb cable. Check the YouTube videos on this device, many projects and cool hacks.
Or the ESP32, which is more money but has more RAM and a little more power, as well as adding Bluetooth. SparkFun has their ESP32 Thing for $20.
- pjmlp 10y agoThe ESP32 is specially cool, given that is powerful enough to run any kind of development environment from the 16 bit days (MS-DOS, Amiga, Atari ST, ...).
- patrickg_zill 10y agoGiven the neat things hackers have been able to make with the 8266, I look forward to seeing what is done with the ESP32.
