ESP8266 (and ESP32)
These little modules have taken hobby electronics by storm, so of course I grabbed a few of them and have been hacking away quietly on both the ESP8266 and the ESP32.(...)

Forever will stubbornly say "eye too see", not "eye squared see".
I get it, and sure, that's great, but no. Can't make me do it.

Monday morning is when I get distracted by the projects and other info in the @adafruit Python on Microcontrollers newsletter, which is so much more than just Python on Microcontrollers! If you have any interest in microcontrollers and fun projects, it is definitely worth signing up for it.

But there’s always been a horsepower limit, a point beyond which a microcontroller is no longer enough, and a “proper” computer is needed. One of those barriers now appears to have been broken, as microcontroller-based emulation moves into the 32-bit era. [Amcchord] <a href="https://github.com/amcchord/M5Tab-Macintosh" target="_blank">has the Basilisk II emulator ported to the ESP32-P4 platform</a>, providing a 68040 Mac able to run OS8.1. This early-1990s-spec machine might not seem like much in 2026, but it represents a major step forward.</p>
<p>The hardware it uses is the M5Stack Tab5, and it provides an emulated Mac with up to 16 MB of memory. Remember, in 1992 this would have been a high-spec machine. It manages a 15 frames per second refresh rate, which is adequate for productivity applications. The emulator uses the Tab5’s touchscreen to emulate the Mac mouse alongside support for USB input devices. To 1990 hackers, it’s almost the Mac tablet you didn’t know you would want in the future.</p>
