Well, you shouldn't run out of pins with the 2560. I've got a few Uno R3s laying around and a couple of Nano 33 BLE Senses. The Nano is used in a MIT ML course and they picked it because of all the onboard sensors rather than a bunch of loose components. It's based on the Nordic Cortex M4 uc. > SOMEBODY does or did make something that looked a whole lot like a > PI, but used some PIC instead.

Of course you can go a lot cheaper: https://www.walmart.com/ip/AVR-Development-Board-NO-Chip-Included-DIY- Set-for-8-48-with-USB-Input/2830964591 Walmart? Yeah I'm sure the local superstore has a bunch of them. Must be something similar for PICs or you can roll your own.
