Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I need to find a processor that uses the least amount of current as possible
I was going to use the Armmite L4 along with a HC-12 to receive the data as it's relatively low power especially when sleeping
However the FireBeetle ESP32 uses only 0.008 mA while hibernating and it has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in

Any suggestions on anything lower power that can get data from Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
Ideally that can use either MM Basic or Annex Basic RDS

Annex Basic RDS is available for the ESP32, but I don't know what the low-power characteristics are.
PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed

Thanks :)
I'll stick with the STM32L4 then and just turn everything else off while it's sleeping
