Best board for university projects
Our entire class uses these now. The community support is amazing, and finding example code for almost any sensor is very easy.

Perfect for beginners and pros alike
This board is incredibly easy to set up. I had MicroPython running within minutes of unboxing. The dual-core performance is surprising for the price point.

Excellent learning tool
As someone new to embedded systems, this board made the transition smooth. Only giving 4 stars because I wish it had built-in Wi-Fi, but that's expected for this model.
