G'day,
I noticed that WEMOS,
https://wiki.wemos.cc/doku.php have now discontinued the LOLIN range of boards but there is a new one called the D32.
It seems odd to me that the LOLIN had a short? run.
Does anyone know about the D32 boards in that these new boards have working Bluetooth?
Just going by Alibaba's site, the cost is $2 US dearer than the LOLIN but more pins and shielding/compliance over the main IC.
If there are more learned peoples than I (wouldn't be hard) could provide the thoughts and comments?
If am not sure wether to wait to see has a solution for the LOLIN ESP32 LITE and Bluetooth or move on to the D32.
Cheers,

I had a Lolin32 pro but it didn't live very long before it stopped working and others found the same problem. They were only sold for a very short time before being pulled from production.
Choosing a ESP32 dev board with psRAM is an advantage when using MicroPython. The D23 doesn't have the psRAM

Recommend that's a hard one.
There isn't a lot of boards with the psRAM but slowly more are popping up. They seem to want to charge more for these boards although the difference in price of the modules used to build the boards is nearly then same: Wroom(without psRAM) and Wrover(with psRAM) is about $0.50.
I have used a few options and all so far for me have had hardware bugs.
Here is a post about a few options

Many people are liking the M5stack board and it's addon boards but it is 1 of the more pricey options.
I am currently using TTGO T8 V1.1 and it has some hardware bugs but it has already been replaced by the TTGO T8 V1.3
I found the best option and cheapest option is just buy the Wrover module and make your own board
