On Amazon.com, 3 pieces of the ESP8266 cost $13.99 and one ESP32 costs
$10.99, so yeah!
Perfect for making clocks. Please post the details.

Greetings all...
The ESP8266 is another WiFi capable board that's available and affordable. They're a bit slower and have less memory and fewer pins than the ESP32 but are fine for many WiFi applications, like a clock. Since I have a couple ESP8266 NodeMCU boards left over from another project, I thought I'd see if I could port Bruce's NTP clock code to run on one. It was pretty easy to get it going (an additional board definition, one line of code, and a few wiring changes) so if anyone's interested, let me know & I'll post the details.
Thanks to Bruce for sharing his clock projects. One can never have too many clocks. :)
