Ask HN: Is ESP / Expressif dominating new IoT projects? https://ift.tt/3ErRth0 ESP seems to have a strong open source following, is quite popular. Is it becoming the best choice for new embedded mcu / iot projects? I'm returning to the embedded world after a 5-year hiatus and Expressif has really exploded onto the scene while Adruino, AVR, and microchip seem a bit more sidelined. Especially for cost-conscious projects, or regarding connectivity options (ie. wifi). Does it make sense to use AVR/Microchip for new projects of low-medium complexity or would most people recommend ESP-family mcu boards for new-starts? 1
