I remember being recommended to look into ESP32 microcontrollers but it’s not European and was wondering if there are other European ones.

    I like that. Honestly I think I’ll try out those models first before I delve into anything else.

      The RP2350 has a lot going for it. The ADCs are decent and you can get 8 which is a reasonable number. It’s not quite like an STM, but I don’t really like STM’s own SDK, I prefer libopencm3, and STM are expensive.

      Also RP2350 has RISCV core you can use if you want.

        Do you happen to know how is the availability?

        I recall couple of years back commercial companies started buying pis and microcontrollers and even the company I was working for started to look for arduinos in desperation. This was obviously really shitty for hobbyists because it inflated the prices and availability was poor.

          It’s fine. They had issues during covid shortages the same as everyone else and that was the full Pi, not the RP2040. Which was actually fine at the time.
