Speaking of controlling LEDs, there's also https://www.atomvm.net/doc/main/index.html. From a very quick scan it looks like it would need some fiddling (especially around the filesystem) to get it to work, but being able to scale down to smaller devices than a full pi would be very, very interesting.

Wow! That does look interesting:

> With AtomVM, you can write your IoT applications in a functional programming language, using a modern actor-based concurrency model, making them vastly easier to write and understand!

> It also supports WiFi networking on devices that support it, such as the Espressif ESP32. All of this on a device that can cost as little as $2!

If ErlangRED made it to a $2 chip, I'd be very happy!

Shouldn't be too hard to get AtomVM onto chips now, according to rumour that's been worked on and made simpler.

This recent talk, https://www.elixirconf.eu/keynotes/the-atomvm-and-new-horizo..., probably showcases the process to some extent so it's a good idea to keep an eye on their YouTube channel for a recording.
