That one never made the front page so I think it's ok to let a second thread run. Thanks for linking to it so people can read those comments also!

#4I'm running a few ESP32s and given their widespread usage I was surprised to notice that Espressif stock is very much near the lows of its 5 yr range, having lost over 2/3rds of its value from the peak. Is it just a function of market volatility? Do they have competition?

#5Looks very nice.
Apparently does not have double precision fp.
Also no WiFi or BT so it's rather different from their current offerings.
768k internal RAM will be useful.

#6Huge huge fan of ESP32s over Arduino/RPi/etc for any/all projects where I can do so. I’ve probably got 15-20 ESP32 projects around the house, and have done somewhere around 80-100 for other people.
Arduino does a great job with marketing but at the end of the day you could do 99% of Arduino projects with an ESP32 for 1/10th the cost, use less power, and get way more features at the same time, while still using the Arduino IDE or VS Code with Platform.IO.

How do you connect them? I would actually love to have a few PoE powered and connected ESP's since you have to power these things anyway.

It has ethernet. So if you're feeling brave, try making a breakout board to interface with it.

Why via a wifi mesh of course: https://www.espressif.com/en/products/sdks/esp-wifi-mesh/ove...

That's really cool. I'd start with star topology first though, with just 4-5 devices. In my use case it's just gardening stuff.
