Arduino raises $32M Series B round

I have an Uno, but I've moved away from Arduino because an Uno costs as much as a Raspberry Pi. Granted, they serve different purposes, but now there's the Pi Pico for $5.

Nothing against the Arduino folks; they really opened up a great avenue for exploration. But it doesn't seem cost-competitive at the moment.

Have a look to Arduino "inspired" other boards, then. The ESP8266 comes to mind which brings onboard WIFI for around $5 or less and is probably a great start into anything IOT-like.

Thanks. I do have an ESP32 board with an integrated OLED display in the Tupperware bin I've stuffed with microcontroller-related gadgets that I'm going to get to "any day now."
