Microbit vs ESP32
Developers should learn Microbit when working in educational technology, STEM outreach, or prototyping simple hardware projects, as it provides an accessible entry point for teaching programming and electronics to novices meets developers should learn esp32 for building iot devices, smart home systems, wearables, and industrial automation projects that require wireless connectivity, low power consumption, and real-time processing. Here's our take.
