I started with ESP some months ago and built a wifi temperature sensor (the "Hello world" for an ESP).

Some days ago I noted kickstarter project combining the ESP8266 with an Atmel ATSAMD21. It's Arduino compatible. seems to be a very small but powerful platform for lot of IoT hacks.

I like ESP8266 and ESP8285 and ESP32

- Thu Jul 09, 2015 3:57 pm #22869 I see that the Atmel SAM D21E / SAM D21G / SAM D21J
documentation says

The Atmel® | SMART™ SAM D21 is a series of low-power microcontrollers using the 32-bit
ARM® Cortex®-M0+ processor, and ranging from 32- to 64-pins with up to 256KB Flash and
32KB of SRAM. The SAM D21 devices operate at a maximum frequency of 48MHz and reach
2.46 Coremark/MHz.

So they run at half the speed of the ESP8266 and have the memory capacity of the smallest ESP8266. So it looks like they add a lot of functionality but would likely slow the ESP8266 down . I think I'll wait for a faster chip to marry it with and in the meantime get the ESP working at its full potential . Just try bumping the upload speed to 921.600 baud instead of 115,200 and amaze yourself .
