read 2 or more resistive values
read 2 or more external switches
operate a relay or silicon switch alternative
and if possible
be capable of 2 way communication with another identical board
be capable of 2 way communication over the internet through an app
I started off looking at the micro Arduino boards and then the ESP for its wifi and have had several people ask if I had looked at python as a language to learn. So when I saw python being developed for the ESP it has made me wonder whether the ESP could just be used as an SBC in its own right for something like this whilst running python allowing me to do away with the Arduino completely
From a processing power point of view this project would require practically nothing as its a real time monitoring of the resistive and switch inputs for an alarm application. But I have absolutely no idea about program sizes having never attempted anything like this before. So I thought I would ask the question before spending money on items that might turn out to be unsuitable for the application
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this
Cheers
Mike
