Unless you're incredibly space constrained I don't really get the point of that 2040 Zero, it just costs more for fewer features. The Pico is already pretty tin

Unless you're incredibly space constrained I don't really get the point of that 2040 Zero, it just costs more for fewer features. The Pico is already pretty tiny. The Pico is really good at pin interoperability at least, in the land of ESP, what appears to be lots of IO pins quickly turns into barely enough if you're lucky, with pins connected internally to flash or the bootloader or whatever. I really wonder why they even bother breaking those out. The ESP32-CAM comes with 10 data pins, and only 4 of them are actually generally usable lol.
