<r>Currently running a Pi 4 (4GB) as my home server: Pi-hole, Plex (light usage, 1080p only), and a Syncthing instance. Stable for ~2 years now.<br/>
<br/>
Nakikita ko yung Pi 5 (4GB and 8GB variants), faster CPU, faster IO. Tempting na mag-upgrade. Pero:<br/>

<t>Linux + RT MCU sa one board — interesting positioning. Para sa thesis-grade IoT projects, possibly the right form factor.<br/>
<br/>
Pero yung price ba comparable sa standalone Pi 4 + Pico combo? Kasi flexibility-wise, separate boards mas modular pa rin — pwede mong i-reuse parts for other ...

<t>Math Royale parang fun. Galing namin sa Math Olympiad route din noong nasa high school pa kami. Yung mga eskwelahan na Don Severino na talagang serious sa STEM. Kudos sa support ng circuitrocks.<br/>

Sa students nito — sana mag-share kayo ng mga puzzles dito after the event. Curious ako sa ...

<t>Para sa thesis ko, prototyping muna ako in CircuitPython kasi mas mabilis i-iterate. Adafruit libraries are great. Pero unsure ako kung yung ESP32-S3 fully supported na ba — yung wifi/BT specifically.<br/>
<br/>
May naka-deploy na ba dito ng CircuitPython on ESP32-S3 with networking? Worth it ba ...

EE 3rd year, currently working on an IoT thesis project. Lurker for years sa Arduino subreddits, ito yung first proper PH community na sinubukan ko. May existing thread na ako sa ESP32 vs Pi Pico W kung interested. Looking forward to sharing notes with the more experienced folks here.

<t>Gamit ko yung BME280 sa IoT thesis project ko — confirming, ito yung tamang pick kung kelangan mo ng pressure data for weather/altitude. Yung accuracy sa temperature side mas maganda din kaysa DHT22 sa comparison ko (had both running side by side for 2 weeks; BME280 was within ±0.3°C while DHT22 ...

<r>Welcome sa "the hardware is fine, it's always something else" club haha. Yung error mo, IDE failing to talk to the bootloader. Karamihan ng cause:<br/>

<r>Hi all, plinaplano ko thesis project — sensor node na nag-uupload ng readings every 10 seconds, 24/7 for 6 months. Hati ako between an ESP32 and a Raspberry Pi Pico W since both have built-in WiFi.<br/>

May naka-deploy na ba dito ng either of these for long-term unattended logging? Mainly ...
