Arduino Uno vs ESP32


We will have a comparison of the specifications of Arduino Uno and the ESP32 DevKit v1 DOIT Board

Arduino Uno

ESP32

Please refer to the table below for the detailed comparison −

The above table itself would have driven home the point that ESP32 is hands-down much better than Arduino. No wonder it has become popular, especially in the IoT domain. Apart from the points listed above, ESP32 also has cryptographic hardware accelerator, that makes it possible to send HTTPS requests. ESP32 can be programmed using the Arduino IDE, and also other platforms like Espressif IDF, Micropython, LUA, etc.
