We currently support devices that use the ESP32 and the nRF52 microcontrollers. Both of these offer low power consumption and long battery life, but each come with their own advantages:
## ESP32
The following ESP32 devices are supported:

Cleaned up documentation, wrote some pros/cons I edited the section to hopefully make it easier to read. I'd also propose we add a warning that the T-TEcho is very buggy currently and people should be warned to check the current status of bugs or check with the community, but I'd leave this up to some else's discretion.

- Lilygo TTGO T-Beam - version 0.7 -- Very old, no power management chip, difficulty with GPS module and is frequently confused with other devices.

Advantages:
- Strong hardware/software support, as these devices have been on the market for a longer period of time
- Wi-Fi capable, with full [web interface](/docs/software/web) support
- Numerous 3D printed case designs are available
- Range Test module is supported
Disadvantages:
- Devices do not use Bluetooth 5.0 (BLE), as such may may draw more power

- Draws 90-95% less power compared to ESP32
- Very low Bluetooth power usage due to Bluetooth 5.0 (BLE)

- Strong manufacturer documentation for RAK Wireless products
Disadvantages:
- No Wi-Fi without additional hardware, the Web interface can only be used via the Serial connection option.
- Newer hardware, as such less software-side support.
- Currently, cannot be used with the Range Test module.
- Fewer 3D printed case options.
