tinkering with ESP32, Micropython and Arduino
Today I'm dipping my toes into the ESP32 microcontroller, and at the same time exploring a couple of different ways of programming them.
I tried both the good ol' beginner friendly Arduino IDE and then stepped out of my comfort zone to try micropython for the first time.
Not the most earth shattering experiments, I realize, but I learned something so it's not a waste of time.

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I do it.
