The price of these aren't quite as egregious as the incredibly dated ATMEGA8-based Arduino Unos, but these still aren't really priced competitively to other offerings on the market. This is even considering other ESP32-S3 boards.

I'm using the Arduino RP2040 in a project. This is also in the same form factor as the Nano and is truly remarkable in terms of value for money. Really impressed with Arduino

Can you expand a bit on the value for the money?

This board is $21 with headers... I've seen a ton of esp32 boards for much less.

What do you think makes this board worth the extra cost?

When compared to other Arduinos, probably.

Can you post your recommendations? I'm looking to build some stuff for fun, like DIY CO2 sensor.

Say I go for something else than Arduino, what am I missing out on?

That's a bit rough as a price tag for an esp32s3 board... They've been available with lcds included for $20 for quite a while at this point. Bare they're around 10-15$.

Based on a pre RISC-V ESP32.

Unfortunate.

It has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and an IMU built in which is very useful for a robotics project I'm currently working on. Plus it has a huge amount of RAM and flash compared to an ATMEGA Arduino
