I think the difference is that the Honeypot in the OP runs in an ESP8266; a small, single core chip that can be had for under $5.

- drb91 8y agoWhile this is true, why not just get a raspberry pi zero or whatever?
- ktta 8y agoIt is cheaper
- drb91 8y agoIf we’re evaluating cost, surely micropython is at least $5 of lost functionality for a single chip. Only at scale would you see any savings.
- gkm25 8y agoDeveloping on an ESP8266 is completely different than a RasPi Zero. If you want a challenge, and want to write code that can run in 80KB of RAM and have the code and all of its dependencies fit in 4MB of flash, then that’s part of the reason why microcontrollers are popular (also because a lot of them are easy to get going with).
