Ssh... don't fight the symbiosis... accept your fate

Up to n100 you still can cool the passively (see TopTon on Aliexpress).

Above that they need a fan.

Please name the device.

Can't share your experience.

Sometimes stuff is missing. But that's implemented and upstreamed quickly.

All of the newer STM32s have ROM-bootloaders that support UART- or even USB-flash.

For SWD you can one of the ST-Link clones or the free open implementations of it.

We never had problems as a small vendor with ST during the chip crisis and all distributors honored our delivery contracts. Even most big companies don't deal with ST directly when it comes to the last mile.

Porting stuff to another microcontroller would be easy as we are not using too proprietary features... as long the uC has SPI/I2C and a bunch of timers the embedded developers will be happy. Thanks to Zephyr.

Most clones aren't even close compatible to their originals.

Maybe some basic stuff like usart, i2c works fine. But the the deeper you dig into the specialties the more you will have problems.

And STM32s and expensive? Maybe if you buy them from Digikey or Mouser. With the right distributor they are dirt cheap.

They still are.

No vendor until now was able to push out microcontrollers with a solid Wifi integration. Sometimes you can find weird 2-chip-solutions.

I still wonder why ST doesn't bring one. That device would be a multi-billion-business.

Espressif has stellar datasheets and a very good HAL (esp-idf) with an established community process.

This is more about the application running on that device.

Not really. Just very good ones.

I also work a lot with ESP32s. Their ADCs (non-linearity, and with the integrated calibration you loose resolution) don't make too much fun.

Will do. The experiment isn't yet dismantled.

Going to write the ferrite core on my next shopping list.

The second URL sounds great. Thanks for posting.

Maybe you can find something around the Copernicus project if the EU has some stuff. Or NOAA if it's from the US side.

Raw logs, history access and APIs to weather data are usually $$$.

Like at the ECMWF: you can have a look at all beautiful charts for free. But if you want to have the data behind them they want to see big cash.
