Looks like the Nano has 16MB of flash as opposed to 2MB on the Pico W, as well as Bluetooth, an onboard accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, temperature sensor and cryptographic co-processor.
I already responded but I wanted to say thanks. Your response sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole learning more about what my controllers are all about, what they’re best suited to, etc. and I’m realizing I should have done that a little sooner.
I wanted to jump in and get things done previously (and I’m glad I did that at least), but I suspect digging deeper into this will actually be a huge benefit to future projects. There’s a lot to know!
Wow, I totally missed the cryptographic co-processor. That’s very appealing. I’m not sure how I’d use 16MB of flash in my projects, but I’m guessing that’s one of those things where once you have it, you can’t imagine working without it.
