Arturo sent us some Feather M7’s based on the fancy new RT1011 – this chip runs at 500 MHz but is only a couple $ (video). With plenty of QSPI FLASH on board and RAM, it can make for a nice IoT engine. Here I’m using it with our ESP32 AirLift FeatherWing for WiFi connectivity, and a small color TFT. The code is about 80 lines of CircuitPython – available here.
