All the buzz might be about the new improved Codebug model on kickstarter ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/codebug/codebug-connect-cute-colourful-and-programmable-iot-wearable ) meanwhile you can get the original codebug complete with badge kit for a reduced price of £6.77 at CPC/farnell: http...

Great to see it supports python now, and a lot of sensors also being launched alongside it.

Can run python

Yes, it's an esp32 the bigger brother to the 8266:

also didn't realise esp32 now has internal temp sensor, and bluetooth as well as wifi.

Arrived and had plenty of fun with it: https://github.com/mikerr/arduino-oled https://camo.githubusercontent.com/666393b8e2dc200f6ec895cd3e5ba42e3877af9e/687474703a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f4e516e624879496d2e6a7067 Arduino based programming, so should work with ardublockly- https://ardublockly.emb...

Wrong thread, and about 2 years late .. have a read here for some codebug history :
