Note: Because of the current time of year (Christmas etc), untracked letters have been slow and unreliable. Take this into consideration when making your purchase.

Features:
USB-C Interface: No more messing with micro-USB cables—faster and more reliable connections.
Dual-Core ESP32 Chip: Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for flexible wireless communication.
38-Pin Design: Plenty of I/O options for all your sensors and peripherals.

      …or a 64-core Threadripper? What's your use case?

      • Just general IOT usage. Smart lighting, routines, etc. Also pihole but idk if you can use raspbian with this.

        I currently run pihole and unbound on a 2w using raspbian lite

          this is ~1/16th the price at the will act as a middle man for IoT devices for smart lighting, scripts, small pieces of code, automation, etc.. But an esp32 cannot run an operating system.. You cannot run raspbian on an esp32.

          What are you trying to do? Consider pming me and I can give you some clarity on your path of least resistance.

          • @iLikeBargainz: thank you for the info, tbh I don't have anything planned yet, just curious about it all. I appreciate your offer for help though :)

          • @iLikeBargainz:

            esp32 cannot run an operating system

            ESP32 and ESP8266 can run Mongoose OS, but it appears to be a very basic OS, it can only download and execute programs.

        • Also pihole but idk if you can use raspbian with this.

          I don't think you can run stock pi-hole on an ESP32, but there are similar ad blockers designed for it such as https://github.com/s60sc/ESP32_AdBlocker or https://github.com/zachmorr/esper .

      Depens on your use case. ESP32 is more reliable and have more documentation than RP Pico based wireless boards. In terms of performance, I'm honestly not too sure as the RP2350 chip is still relatively new.

  • How much RAM and flash does this have?

  • Waiting for some deals on PI zero 2W or PI5 ?

    • Pi 5 is very unlikely to be on sale. The Zero 2 W was on sale a few weeks ago but is unlikely to be on sale again for a while.

  • What are people using for power cables and bricks?

    • Old phone chargers are the go or anything that has USB power out.
