W600-PICO – A New $2 WiFi IoT Board that runs MicroPython
The beauty of capable computing is that aside from being cheap enough, it should also be good enough. While we have seen some great WiFi IoT boards like Wemos D1 mini and Lolin32, there has not been anything like the newly launched W600-PICO board from Wemos. The new W600-PICO board,...
