I’m thinking about getting an ESP 32 but I’m not sure whether to get the Arduino nano version or a more original ESP 32

Welcome to the forum If the Nano form factor is not important to you then I would say get an ESP32 Dev module rather than the Nano ESP32 One reason for saying this is that the pin numbering on the Nano ESP32 is a minefield as it seems to have fallen into the trap of trying to allow for both the cl…

Like @UKHeliBob mentions, the pin numbering on the Nano ESP32 is a bit of a rabbit-hole. My experience this past week or two has led me to have to resort to games like this, which actually started when I decided to play with the Seeduinos... // Map button input(s) and RGB strip output // I am usin…

I have both Nano ESP32 and ESP32 Boards; but, I feel comfort to work with 30-pin ESP32. The other day, I was trying to do DAC operation which I did not find with Nano ESP32 BUT with ESP32.

@deeppy1 One BIG difference between the two is the pin spacing. On the nano it is 0.6" on the ESP32 devkitc it is 1.0", making the nano a much more breadboard friendly

Thanks I’ll take this into consideration

This is how I have made my ESP32 to be breadboard friendly. [image]

Is it better to get a nano esp32 or an ordinary esp32
