Well unlike the Atmel chips, it is -- like it's predecessor the ESP8266 -- a totally internet focused MCU. So with TLS and HTTP requests, and receiving streams and WebSockets and whatever else, it's not hard to imagine what to do with it. More is better. For example I have one ESP32 setup with 8 megs of PSRAM that does a full scan of a currency exchange every 15 seconds. Loads all the data into RAM, which I can subsequently process. Run LED displays on after, trigger other events etc. It's pretty cool!
It's certainly alot more direct to implement than booting up Armbian on a PI, and then starting Node, and then....

- hungryforcodes 6y agoWell I wanted to have the exchange info on my watch, which is the simplest answer. :P https://www.banggood.com/LILYGO-TTGO-T-Watch-2020-ESP32-Main-Chip-1_54-Inch-Touch-Display-Programmable-Wearable-Environmental-Interaction-Watch-p-1671427.html https://www.banggood.com/LILYGO-TTGO-T-Watch-2020-ESP32-Main... (I get no money if you click that btw -- it's just for reference) The watch has some "trading features" even. If I see an interesting trade I can let it take the trade and finish it to "take profit", while I go and do something else. It has a touch UI and a 240x240 16bit colour screen -- so lots of possibilities there.
- elcritch 6y agoYou should checkout Nerves sometime. Flashing an rpi0 and booting directly into a programmable environment is great.
