#70077 Hi,

What is general difference between ESP8266 and ESP32? Is ESP32 same to manage as ESP8266 and can be flashed on same way? Is ESP32 lua compatible?
I'am familiar with ESP8266 and now maybe I buy some ESP32 but need to know if is same to manage, thanx, Faramon

#70107 In short: esp32 is 2 x esp8266 (two cores), more iram, more dram, bluetooth, hardware i2c and pwm and most important: the radio (wifi/bluetooth) handling is completely done on one core, while the other is for (your) applications.

The "SDK" is completely different, barely comparable.
