Favourite Microcontrollers to Use with Flowcode?

Post by WonderNomad »

Hi all,
I’m curious to know which microcontrollers everyone here prefers to work with when using Flowcode. I’ve mostly been using PICs so far, but I’d like to expand my projects and try out different options.

Do you have any tips for beginners switching from PIC to Arduino, ESP32, or ARM?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊

The choice of chip depends on the task. It is all very individual. 24 bit and 32 bit provide more opportunities but more problems arise. It is worth trying everything for general development. For example, on the ESP32 module (32-bit dual-core Xtensa LX6 microprocessor up to 240 MHz) you can make a remote video surveillance system.

Hi WonderNomad

Try the ESP32 (Pico= small footprint )
for example Atom Lite:
A good and inexpensive part in a stable housing.
Well documented and from various suppliers
You can connect many additional modules and also try out Bluetooth and USB to connect to the App developper

Hi, stefan,
Thanks a lot for the recommendation! The Atom Lite looks like a great option to start experimenting with ESP32.
ESP32 is indeed one of those microcontrollers that you end up using a lot in different projects.
I’ll check out some modules and maybe try the Bluetooth features too.
Appreciate your help! 😊
