John Spikowski:
I was able to get MicroPython loaded on my ESP32-DEVKITC32D board. I'm using Putty on the RPi 3B to connect via /dev/ttyUSB0.

I was able to get my DS18B20 temperature sensor to work with the ESP32-DEVKITC32D board.

The interpretive method of programming sure beats having to compile an image and flash it to the controller with each experiment.

I'm going to flash my ESP32-PICO with MicroPython to free up my faster board for more demanding projects.

I got MicroPython running on my ESP32-PICO board. The sensor blinks each time it's scanned.

This is a ESP32-PICO MicroPython pystone_lowmem benchmark example. This also shows how to use upip to install additional libraries.

This is the same benchmark but using my ESP32-DEVKITC32D board and increasing the processor frequency rate.

I retried the ESP32-PICO (not related to RPi Pico) and increased the frequency to 240000000 it ran faster than my ESP32-DEVKITC32D board.  :o


>>> pystone_lowmem.main()
Pystone(1.2) time for 500 passes = 428ms
This machine benchmarks at 1168 pystones/second
>>>


I need to do a side-by-side comparison to see what makes them different.

I found a post that shows the RPI Pico pystone_lowmem results.


>>> exec(open('Pi_Pico_Pystone_lowmem.py').read())
Pystone(1.2) time for 500 passes = 460ms
This machine benchmarks at 1086 pystones/second

ESP32-PICO-D4

Detailed Spec.

ESP32 contains two low-power Xtensa 32-bit LX6 microprocessors. (240 MHz) The internal memory includes:

* 448 KB of ROM for booting and core functions.
* 520 KB of on-chip SRAM for data and instructions.
* 8 KB of SRAM in RTC, which is called RTC FAST Memory and can be used for data storage; it is accessedby the main CPU during RTC Boot from the Deep-sleep mode.
* 8 KB of SRAM in RTC, which is called RTC SLOW Memory and can be accessed by the co-processorduring the Deep-sleep mode.
* 1 Kbit of eFuse: 256 bits are used for the system (MAC address and chip configuration) and the remaining768 bits are reserved for customer applications, including flash-encryption and chip-ID
* 4 MB Flash
* Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
