The ESP32 is a lot better in many ways, but it suffers a bit from version 2 syndrome. The decision to go dual-core in particular. Personally I'm looking forward to the ESP32-S2 coming in quantity.
- leggomylibro 7y agoThe S2 lacks Bluetooth though, doesn't it? The second core is meant to handle the network stack, leaving the first core to focus on program logic. With ESP8266s, it can be hard to write complex applications while keeping heavy WiFi usage stable. Although, I'll bet the 8266 firmwares and libraries have improved a lot since I was using them.
- sjwright 7y agoThe ESP32-S2 is best thought of as a spiritual successor to the ESP8266. If you need Bluetooth, I’m pretty sure the ESP32 is still being produced.
- Narkov 7y agoWhat's wrong with having dual core?
- sjwright 7y agoBecause it’s simply too slow for dual core to be useful. Few people will bother investing programming resources to extract maximal benefit out of those dual cores when faster single cores are dirt cheap.
