What is ESP32? The BEST Arduino replacement

ESP32 boards, in my opinion, are the best Arduino alternative hardware. Not only they can be used almost like any other Arduino board, ESP32 have built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, and are crazy cheap. On top of that, many boards have built-in OLEDs, LiPo chargers or LoRa radio modems. Some of them even have GPS receivers and full-blown power management circuits like AXP192. Have I mentioned that ESP32 has 2 cores and runs FreeRTOS? Take that, ATmega328!

I found this super useful. It really helped me understand that this platform has grown beyond the 8266 "cheapo wifi" board into a whole platform in and of itself. Excited to try them!

In case you did not know: This guy is also a LEGEND in FPV/Drone electronics.

hi pawel, I cant believe meeting you here outside INAV ! you are legend!

he made a very competitive autopilot in a RC plane model guys, the smartest guy Ive ever met on the internet!

I use theses guys daily. Great for remote monitoring dew point and air pressures at the plant.

I am very looking forward to this series. I've been struggling to make this transition and one stickler that comes up a lot is power utilization. Since I use mine off battery or sometimes with solar this can be a issue as it uses more power then the older simple ones. I'd love to see them with load and current test maybe? In any case this series will be very helpful.

Yeah, i love the ESP32s, too. Too bad they don’t support 5ghz wifi. Also i am looking for usb hid support. This is only included in the esp32-s2 which is not „the“ esp32 but a more slimed down version (e.g. single core)

Does ESP32 can deal with frequency measurements? Like if I want to build LC oscillation circuit, will ESP32 be able to measure the frequency?

What are your thoughts on the Teensy 4.0 boards?
