| If you're limited to Python and aren't an EE/CS, sure. Developer support is one of the key points for hobbyist- and industry-useful MCUs/SBCs. There are other interesting boards out there: --- ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 --- C and Python in the box https://docs.espressif.com/projects/espressif-esp-dev-kits/e... $9 gets you - 32-bit RISC-V - WiFi 6 2.4 GHz - BLE 5.3 - Zigbee 3.0 - Thread 1.3 - ARGB LED --- ESP32 RISC-V Rust board --- $19.80 https://www.espressif.com/en/dev-board/esp32-c3-devkit-rust-... - Temp and humidity sensor - Inertial measurement unit - Li-ion charger - USB-C --- Orange Pi 5 Pro --- $141 http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontro... - Rockchip RK3588S - 16 GiB LPDDR5 - GPU 10x faster than an RPi 5's - NVMe without a hat - WiFi 5, BT+BLE 5.2 - H.265 8K@30fps encoding and 8K@60fps decoding - AI accelerator built-in Once upon a time™, c. 2000 for hobbyists, there was primarily BASIC Stamp (with BASIC obviously) and PICs with their own assembly ISA. Yep, we had to walk 100 miles barefoot to school in the snow back then. ;) |
