Thanks for reply.

can i use BASIC with the blue boards with 512k flash size
U mentioned that binary is too big for 512k boards?

PS:- Will receive my board in couple of days - while ordering picture looked blue. Not sure which board i will receive.
IMO - BASIC seems to be simplest and best way to use this chip. Gr8 work.

- Tue Nov 17, 2015 5:42 pm #34349 Currently 512k boards are supported. You will have a very limited amount of space to store you program.

The spiffs file system will give you 64k. Some of that is taken up by settings files for the basic interpreter.

Cant wait to see what you make.
