Espressif problem is that their various mcus are very similar in features and for a long time lacked USB which, for example made a RP2040 great for micropython where as circuitpython (adafruits version of micropython) dropped support for ESP32.
Realtek, NordicSemi and rpi seem to be catching up to them in the hobby-space area.
- ncmncm 5y agoAt one time Espressif chips were said to have real problems operating at, and reliably coming out of, extra-low power states. Is that still true?
- antattack 5y agoComing out of low power state (via pin or timer) has never been a problem. Until recently (March 2021) there was a problem turning off the 2.4GHz radio so it actually stopped using power.
