#366 9 New ESP32 Boards: Comparison and Tests

The ESP32 has become a mainstream Maker platform. Therefore, we have many different boards to choose from. Which one fits your project? Let’s get an overview and test the boards. And of course, we will add the information to our comparison table from the last videos.
Contenders are boards from Lilygo (TTGO), Wemos (LOLIN), Sparkfun, Keyestudio, and MH-ET LIVE.

Thanks for taking the time to update the ESP32 boards and the reminder about shipping costs! Happy Christmas Andreas :)

Perfect timing! I was looking for a low power board for my project. Very good presented! Thanks Andreas.

As always, as informative and helpful as it can. Congratulations Mr. Spiess

Thanks for this video, I have more than 10 ESP boards laying on my desk and always difficult to chose the right one for the right project, your spreadsheet is a very good reference.

This video was well made and very informative.
Thank you for making and sharing it.

Great video! Quick note about the TTGO T7 versions and the Live D1 mini: The inner pin headers have the same form factor and pin layout as the Wemos D1 mini. This enables a lot of readily available shields to be used! They can often be a drop in replacement by just changing some pin definitions.

I always use the TTGO T7 V1.3 as it does not have PSRAM, and thus has pins 16 and 17 also available!

Huge thanks for all your excellent videos this year. They have really helped to keep me sane in a challenging year. I don't know how you find the time to make so many informative (and funny) videos.
Hope you have an enjoyable new year. Looking forward to more fun next year.

Thanks for all work you put into these vids, with lots of useful information. It's interesting to see that only one board use a decent antenna. Cheers

[steverussell]

Interesting and useful comparison, thanks. Is there a video for the light sensor project you mention at 10:30? A quick search through your past videos didn't find it.

Where's our Aussie made one the TinyPICO? Seon has shared his comprehensive engineering efforts supporting the ESP32 community. Locally great for me!

[HariWiguna]

Hi Andreas. Thank you for the comprehensive review. I think it's time for me to get more ESP32s :-)

[ziggystardog]

Andreas, thanks for mentioning shipping costs and woes. I have been fighting these lately, as well as items getting lost, cancelled or significantly delayed. I find ordering through distributors and through bigger eBay sellers and Amazon and those with local stock to be faster, more reliable and affordable. Digikey was a favorite distributor when I was a design engineer for similar reasons. As with much of the pandemic I fear these choices may result in smaller businesses being pushed out, but what can you do? +1 for a future video on the topic and the supply chain in general. Thank you.
