@rtyler I use the #DFRobot #Firebeetle, which is under $10. Direct: https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1590.html Quicker US availability from #DigiKey at: https://www.digikey.com/short/wb8tj530 There are other options, including models with USB-C. If you don’t want to solder, #Gravity cabling plus DFRobot sensors works. Worth checking out.

@rtyler I’d have to look at the BOM, but I think all of my #DFRobot #Firebeetle ESP32s with basic temp/humidity sensors have been under than price — even given the relatively high price for #DFRobotGravity cabling — minus a fancy case and power source. I’ve repurposed leftover plastic containers with lids from the grocery store as cases, and just about any USB-A power adapter works. I run them with #ESPHome.

@ryan ooh also #dfrobot usually have a little maker thing on the go. They will send you items to make and post about it. Currently there are a lot of ws2812 stuff I think up for play.
