Title: Frame.IoT: An interesting developer board with Arduino support and Wi-Fi
Post by: Redaktion on March 30, 2020, 20:09:35
The Frame.IoT is an Arduino-based developer board that comes with numerous LEDs, 16 in total. The board should be comparatively easy to program thanks to its integrated Wi-Fi connectivity.

What's so interesting about this lol. It's a 40$ ESP-32 board. You can get similar boards for under 10$ or get a Raspberry pi 4 2GB that's infinitely faster for 35$. Why would you buy this?

An m5stack core, which includes LCD, WiFi/ble and case is available for less.

@n @Benjamin123456 Thanks for the feedback! While the board itself isn't shattering the internet, it's cool for two reasons: 1.) Frames are voted on by the community; meaning every component on the dev kit was chosen as the most re-usable, and repeatable needs when developing IoT projects and 2.) the Frame.IoT is designed to be less of a "stacking board" and more focused on form factor and building boards that can be enclosed and left in projects. There are of course, faster, cheaper boards on the market. :)
