Comment on Microcontroller recommendations for a weather station
Lauchmelder@feddit.org 1 day agoThank you for the advice, but it’s not really what I’m looking for. I am looking for something really lightweight for now, and the ESP32 is a bit overkill. And codeless deployment sounds horrible, I want to actually write the ode myself, I should have mentioned that!

Unless you’re making thousands of something, an ESP32 is cheap enough that it shouldn’t matter whether or not it’s overkill. Getting something simpler will only save you a few pennies unless you’re overspending as ESP32 breakout boards are available for less than £2.
The power draw will be a problem, though, unless you disable WiFi. They’re not really button-cell-friendly.
