    After being thoroughly disappointed with the Wio Terminal, I picked up an M5 Stack Fire development kit. For any of you that want to get started with IoT development this monster will let you code in C++ (Arduino, ESP-IDF) or MicroPython. And you don't have to wire anything. This thing is gold plated in terms of its featureset. It's like some people sat around and asked "what can we realistically cram onto an ESP32?" and then they did it. It also has a magnetic base and will attach to legos and will run on a chargeable LIPO battery. All in a neat package with stackable components for extending it. It can do a lot. It's a great development kit and well worth the $50-$60 So if you want to get started on IoT development, or if you already have and you just want a heckin neat little widget, give this thing a shot. Make sure you get the Fire edition. It has PSRAM. Feature brief: ESP32 xtensa6 based dual core @ 240mhz Bluetooth/BLE WiFi 8MB of PSRAM 16MB of Flash ILI9342C 320x240x16bit screen (I think touchscreen, i may be wrong) Simple speaker and microphone 3 programmable buttons Built in gyroscope/accelerometer Temperature sensor LoRa radio (I think?) SD Reader Will connect to Grove components

    To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

        I'm intrigued enough that this might just be the thing to get me into IoT development. "Currently unavailable" from Amazon.com, .ca and .co.uk. :-(

              You could always hook a motor up to it. ;P

                  Sorry, it's not. It's just a shameless plug from a really happy user.

                      If someone's gonna advertise a product, this is the sort of thing I'd much rather see.

                        I'll be releasing a GFX enabled library for the M5 Stack shortly. I've already got it working, but I want to nail down support for all of the peripherals included and their are quite a few. After I do that, it's an internet enabled weather and time station for the refrigerator. :) In the process, I'm currently developing a regex to C++ state machine generator so I can parse JSON without using flash space for an entire JSON library. :)
