Wait for Metro M7 or get an ESP32 board now?

Post by Chrismander »

Hi, new to Arduino/ESP, have played around with an Arduino Uno and also a ESP8266 for a wifi project. I am now looking for a bigger wifi capable board and am hoping to switch from Arduino IDE to Circuit Python too.

Should I wait for the Metro M7, or get an ESP32 now? How different will they be in capabilities and features, other than the shape?

Thanks for any input!

Chris

You can always get a Metro ESP32-S2 now (which has some nice features) and get started, then pick up at Metro M7 when it's available if you like. I figure it's better to be doing something now rather than waiting some unknown amount of time instead.
