I highly recommend the ESP8266 and ESP32 once you're a little more familiar with the arduinos.
They have Wifi, and the ESP32 is actually very powerful and has two cores. They make for great DIY home automation/IOT devices and are pretty easy to work with.
- IceWreck 7y ago> ESP8266 Second this. The ESP8266 (a nodeMCU) is about as powerful as an Arduino Uno, is about half the size of a credit card, is very thin and costs around $3. The wifi part is the biggest advantage. You can send sensor data directly to your server via simple http requests.
- makapuf 7y agoEsp8266 is way more powerful than an arduino Uno. It's got a 32bit 96MHz proc with 96k of ram and Wifi, often coupled with 4MB flash. Uno has 32k of flash 2k ram and (from memory) 20MHz 8bit cpu.
- Tempest1981 7y agoThe Wemos ESP8266 was a fun start. The only thing I found a bit tricky, iirc, is the limited number of pins, and figuring our the mapping from D0..8 to ESP8266 number.
