An introduction to the Wio Terminal

The Wio Terminal is a microcontroller with WiFi support. It compares with Arduino when you add a WiFi Shield. Also, it compares well with the ESP8266/ESP32 which are also microcontrollers with built-in WiFi support. For the end-user, all these can be programmed using the Arduino IDE and MicroPython. That is, you can choose between any …

Using Arduino IDE for the ESP32 in a LXD container

The ESP32 is a dual-core microcontroller that has both WiFi and Bluetooth. The ESP32 is the next generation of the older single-core microcontroller ESP8266 that only had WiFi. You can perform most tasks that you did with the various Arduinos but with the ESP32 (or ESP8266) and you also have WiFi embedded into the microcontroller. …
