HI, I am really liking the Artemis Redboard. However, of course it doesn't have any Wifi capability.
I've been connecting it to Raspberry via USB.

But I want to propose something simpler to a startup robotics group that I want to teach, so I would like to reduce the effort to possibly a single board.

What could I use instead of the Artemis Redboard, that would have Wifi, and USB... for a beginning robot "brains", that could:
-- connect to some motor driver
--connect to Qwiic sensors

thanks

You might have a look at these three products:

• Arduino Uno WiFi R2
• SparkFun ESP8266 Thing - Dev Board
• Arduino MKR1000

None are as computationally powerful as the Artemis and all likely use more electrical power but those might work for you. Also, none have a Qwiic connector but all are capable of I2C. With the right adapter cable, you can still connect Qwiic boards to them.
