An ESP32 seems a better fit to me, and would also be cheaper and more power efficient.

- peteforde 3y agoThe ESP32 didn't launch until we were already in market. Still, I would politely suggest that you're underestimating the part where we needed low level access to a camera module that came with the RPi. Even if the ESP32 had been out, we didn't have anyone handy to spend six months reverse engineering CMOS registers. Everything is super easy a) in hindsight and b) when you're commenting on Hacker News and not actually doing it.
- pomatic 3y agoGiven that you can't share the unique details of your use case, what could have been an interesting discussion regarding design tradeoffs is moot. (And I would politely ask that you don't make assumptions about what I might or might not have actually accomplished in similar spheres, you have zero idea.)
- peteforde 3y agoIf you read the whole thread, I've gone into significant detail. Happy to answer any further questions you might have to the degree that I'm able.
