@dronebot-workshop Show off!
First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.

Didn't know they came with stickers. Must be where the value-added is over the sub-$3 MPU's I buy. 😆
3 lines of code = InqPortal = Complete IoT, App, Web Server w/ GUI Admin Client, WiFi Manager, Drag & Drop File Manager, OTA, Performance Metrics, Web Socket Comms, Easy App API, All running on ESP8266...
Even usable on ESP-01S - Quickest Start Guide

I think I've been shopping too much at the Arduino store lately...
Is that possible ?
PS - it does depend who you talk to, wives have a strange female perspective on this.

@inq I didn't know you bought Arduinos. I thought you were just an ESP8266 guy.

Thus... why I used the word MPU instead of Arduino. Just because it can quack with the best of ducks, but can also meow like a cheta. I still have a few Arduinos gathering dust I bought twelve years ago. 😉

The stickers are what separates a truly great microcontroller from just a bunch of transistors. Pimoroni also give you stickers, which is why I buy their stuff, and DF Robot sends funny looking orange clip-on creatures.
Is that possible ?

That's why I no longer have one, I guess! But actually that was 21 years ago, and I think it was car audio equipment that drove us apart (pun not intended), I was a bit of a fanatic back then. She objected to my removing the spare tire so I could store a spare subwoofer. Right then, I knew where my priorities were!

To err is human.
To really foul up, use a computer.
