No experience with the board you mentioned, but i do have a couple of VS Code extensions that might help you with the VS Code aspect you mentioned. The ESPTool one takes care of the firmware flashing. The MPRemote one lets you use MicroPython's MPRemote commands in a point and click fashion. |

Are you the devil? I've wasted sooo much time trying to get VS code to work, earnestly following various online guides. It never manages to find the esp32 board then says 'no problems have been detected in the workspace' just to taunt me. I hate it with a passion. |

I am not the prince of darkness, nor do I play him on TV. In all seriousness though, the extensions don't do anything spectacular. They're simply wrappers around the Python modules that do the work. I wrote the extensions because I'd rather point and click than type command-line args. |

Well I installed your MPRemote because point & click would be nice but still no esp32 to be found &, of course, no problems in the workspace as ever. Normally I get nothing but dumb insolence from VS code but this time some output in the problem free workspace...Error running command mpremote.devs: command 'mpremote.devs' not found. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes mpremote.devs. |

If you're interested in working through it, you can post an issue on my github page: https://github.com/DavesCodeMusings/mpremote-vscode/issues |

At your leisure squire, seems to be a terminal issue? |

@kjm1102 Have you seen the FeatherS3? This has two efficient 3.3V regulators, one of which can be switched off under program control. This enables external devices to be powered down before entering deepsleep. The board has a deepsleep current below 50μA and is ideally suited for battery applications. |

Nice hardware shame about the circuit python |

My fav esp32 boards are ones that come with upython already installed. At a pinch I can use Thonny to install the latest upython. The problem is most espp32 boards don't have an efficient regulator for battery applications.
Does anyone have an experience with upython on https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/ESP32-S2-Pico? It's got a nice reg but the rigmarole described to get upython on it seems daunting, I've never had any success with VS code or any of the espressif toolchains.
