I need to strip some stuff out of one of my project sketches so it's more "Instructable", but there are two routes I use for variables: EEPROM and local filesystem (SPIFFS). I tend to have bad luck with EEPROM for some reason, so putting data in a local file on the ESP has been my go-to route. In the end, a local file is just data across some addressed space on the chip, like EEPROM, so it's all about the same and will take some added libraries and coding to make work either way.

I find that "cheap" is relative to where you are willing to get them from - though I do agree, all ESPs are relatively cheap, and there are much more robust versions that will give you more bang for your buck. I just think we all get a little bit of enjoyment out of pushing components outside the limits they were designed for! Thanks for reading...

Wow, you might be number 7! Thanks for reading!
