ESP32

ESP32 is a family of relatively cheap, power-effective and often wireless-capable single-board computers(SBCs). Primarily used in IoT devices, embedded systems and also by hobbyists as a universal platform for development.

Overview

ESP32 series are developed and manufactured by Espressif Systems. Official release date: 6th of September 2016. This family of low-power low-cost and Wi-Fi/Blutetooth-capable development platform offers many possibilities for implementing IoT devices on it's basis. While Espressif have developed their own framework for programming those SBCs, it is also fully compatible with Arduino framework, from libraries to hardware GPIO modules. In it's core, either Tensilica Xtensa LX6(single- and dual-core) or Xtensa LX7(dual-core) processors are employed, while single-core ultra-low power(ULP) RISC-V co-processors also remain an option.
