Arduino Nano ESP32 - It's nice - but maybe not for me...

I thought I should take a look at this board as its been doing the rounds on YouTube and it’s an ESP32-S3 board.

It is a nice - if slightly expensive board - but I’m not sure I’d recommend it unless you are already bought into the Arduino Nano ecosystem. They’ve made a big effort to make it pin compatible with the existing Nano board which means you have to use the Arduino pin numbers and not the ESP32 GPIO pin numbers. I think this is going to cause a lot of confusion!

Especially as they mention the GPIO numbers in their nice diagram! Do not try and use them if you are using the Arduino framework with this board - you’ll get quite unexpected results…
