   Thanks for your feedback - I dislike "pushing" the buy button, but you are right that it's hard to find on mobile, so I have added a [Buy a TinyPICO] and [Buy a TinyPICO Nano] button in the main body of each respective page.

   I wasn't recommending it, I was replying to someone else's comment that inaccurately compared my TinyPICO to an Espressif DevKit. I don't have to lead EVERY comment with "I'm the developer and..." - That's

   I'm the only owner, designer, manufacturer and financially involved person with any of my boards. If it's not my name on the post, it's not someone tied to the product beyond being a customer.

   The S3 is not out yet, not even close. My FeatherS2 has 16MB of flash and 8MB of PSRAM, and that has native USB. My TinyS2 has 4MB Flash and 2MB PSRAM and native USB and is the TinyPICO form factor. The ESP32-S3 for a "TinyPICO" f

   Espressif don't make a 16MB variant of the D4, and because the Flash is in the SiP, external flash can't be used. sorry :(

   Sorry, I don't mean to nitpick, but the Espressif Dev-Kit boards are 2.5 * bigger than the TinyPICO (not 1 cm) and have no onboard battery management - something that most ESP32 users want - and no extra PSRAM. They also have no low cu

   Thanks for your thoughts, but just to clarify - the 'LILYGO T-Micro32' is not a dev board with USB chopped off. It's just a PICO-D4 chip and antenna. It's got no Serial2UART, no USB, no LDO or any power management, no

    Thanks for adjusting the main topic name. The OP isn't the creator of the project, I am, but it's super cool he posted about it. Cheers :)

    The white block at the end of the PCB is a 3D Antenna - much better performance over a PCB antenna or 2d chip antenna.

    You can use MicroPython on the FeatherS2 :) Obviously no USB mass storage mounting, but code compatibility with the TinyPICO .

    This is a better comparison - full dev board, just add your own USB connector of choice . https://www.tinypico.com/tinypico-nano

    That's a module - it cant be used for anything unless you mount it to a bigger carrier PCB and add all of the extra components.
