ESP32 alternatives #129

Closed gcormier closed 1 year ago

gcormier commented 1 year ago

Has any thought been given to one of the newer ESP32 variants that support native USB? It can mean ditching the CH340.

If WiFi is not needed, simply the raw MCU could be used. If WiFi is desired, a module could be used. The smallest is the ESP32-S3-MINI,

Both would require hot air or reflow ovens to assembly though which really raises the bar, so that might be out of scope for the goals of this project.

Looks like the S3-MINI is on the "future todo" list :)
