| MarkS:
I finally broke down and bought myself an Arduino Mega. I hate the platform, and have always viewed it as child-level, but I need more GPIO than the more powerful microcontrollers I own have and I find myself interfacing to 5v parts more often than not, and more than a handful of level shifters in circuit SUCK! I feel cheap and dirty. I'll need to hide it from my ESP32-based controllers. :-DD |

If you are using an ESP32 and feel clean you should see someone about that ;) |
| Black Phoenix:
Excuse me but can someone ELI5? |
| mrburnzie:
Real G's will buy an Arduino and run raw Atmel compiled code on it. There is a reason for the ISP connector on it ;) |

Hah, look at this! 😂 https://www.cnx-software.com/2023/04/28/meet-the-1000-esp32-board-with-512-gpios-12v-24v/ |
