In this blog post I want to share some results that compare Python code running on a few microcontroller boards that I have collected through my experiments with hardware, along with my laptop and a Raspberry Pi 4 to help put things into perspective. But there is really no comparison to be made, the use cases are completely different and I find microcontrollers unbelievably useful in spite of the slow speed they run code at.
