I just love what the esp32 can do - in the right hands!
It is such a capable piece of kit for arduino prices - love the 8 bit arcade builds people have done. I bought a few esp32 when lockdown started but having kids means the time I thought I might have now has evaporated. But wonderful to read what others are able to do.
- afandian 6y agoThere's hope! I found my esp32 board was just the right amount ready-made (especially with the Arduino ui) and flexible to get some meaningful toy projects for my child. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22691603 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22691603 Though I suppose it gets harder with more than one child!

- pjmlp 6y agoThe ESP32 is more powerful than the PC I had access to in the school computer club, which we basically used to play defender of the crown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC1512 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC1512 Still, we could use most high level programming languages of the day, even though Assembly was still the name of the game for anything requiring performance. I think many don't realize how much these modern tiny devices are actually capable of.
