Can anyone recommend a #RasPi alternative for #embedded #electronics projects? There's the #Arduino, which is nice, but sometimes you need something with a little more oomph.

My mother-in-law overestimates my command of the Spanish language (though knowing French is admittedly helpful).
She claims that I understand 80% of what I hear. It's closer to 30%, but I can piece a lot together through context.

I love that every single time we order cat food, we get a tracking number after it's arrived.

in reply to Michał • • •@RicoElectrico I'll second the recommendation on ESP32. I probably have 10 of them now and they are quite capable.
That said, the Pi Pico is decent too, especially if you have unusual high speed signaling requirements.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •my current project is doing just that and with #esp32
[edit]This setup uses a handful of #esp8266 with sensors, all in a mesh with network, plus one esp32-c3 as the bridge to the normal home WiFi network, and a #RaspberryPi Zero for data storage

If I need an operating system, I plug an AdaFruit board into a Raspberry Pi.
My most popular project in that area is: github.com/shapr/bloohm

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •Arduino produces a range of boards, including ones that are far more powerful than the Uno.
I would recommend the Pi Pico though if you're looking for something faster than the Uno and still cheap. There's Arduino IDE support for them as well.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •@xorbit I just started using one, a C6 (that’s what they had in stock in the shop where I was ordering the other stuff.)
I program it with the Arduino CLI, because that’s what I’m used to and I don’t want to learn another toolchain before I know if I need to. I’m impressed so far. The dev board is cheaper than an Arduino Nano, it has many features, WiFi, Bluetooth, Flash memory is very flexible.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •depends on your use case. Pi and Arduino are extremely different beasts.
Do you need lots of GPIO? Network? Wi-Fi? Memory? Flash? Camera/LCD connections? Floating point or integer only? A multitasking OS (with X! and a GPU!), an RTOS, or bare metal? Interoperability with some ecosystem? With good community support or something raw that you can slog through in god-mode and never need to update?
