Micropython on ESP32

Any opinions on ESP32 for running Micropython? I know it is not as developed/mature as ESP8266, but I need the extra RAM. I am hoping that general WIFI and simple GPIO is in fact working fine with current builds, since that's all I really need.
Intel core i7 8700K on an MSI Z370 Tomahawk for a gaming/streaming/low-end video editing computer. What RAM do I get? Does CAS Latency matter? Does the jump from 2666 to 3000 ?[size=1][url=https://www.ucbrowser.vip/][color=#333333]uc browser[/color][/url] [url=https://shareit.onl/][color=#333333]shareit[/color][/url] [url=https://appvn.onl/][color=#333333]appvn[/color][/url]

These days the ESP32 is probably at a similar level of maturity as the ESP8266 port. I would absolutely recommend the ESP32 over the ESP8266. But yeah, WiFi and GPIO (and lots of other things) work just fine.

It depends which board you choose as to how much RAM -- some models have SPIRAM (e.g. I have a TinyPico which has 4MiB of SPIRAM).

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question :)

Hey,

I would also recommend ESP32 over the ESP8266 and in that Wifi and GPIO will work smoothly.

Yes, you can extend the ram as well accordingly.

ok, now I'll try with ESP32 port. Did you succeed?

Hi
I've had a similar experience. I do a lot of esp32 stuff in micripython, but I keep having to use arduino C stuff for so many things. I'm just holding on for this platform to mature. In the mean time, I've started surveying what code is out there before I pick a language.
