Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 Module - HM-10
Bluetooth 4.0 module (Low Energy) compliant with ISM 2.4 GHz, master/slave operating mode with transparent data transmission, based on the Texas Instruments CC2541 chip with 256K of Flash memory and 8K of RAM.
Overview
This is a Bluetooth 4.0 (Low Energy) module compliant with ISM 2.4 GHz, with master/slave mode of operation and transparent data transmission, based on the Texas Instruments CC2541 chip with 256K Flash memory and 8K RAM.
It can be controlled through simple AT commands (via UART) or programmed with custom applications. Ideal for use in projects where Bluetooth connection is needed, such as between microcontroller and PC. Power supply ranges between 2V and 3.6Vdc.
Note: SMT mounting.

"But can it run Doom?" is more than just a joke in the tech world. It is also a decent litmus test for the computing power of hardware. That test isn't very relevant for modern computers, but it is still worth asking when discussing microcontrollers. Microcontrollers vary in dramatically in processing power and memory, with models to suit every application. But if you have an Arduino Nano ESP32 board, you can run Doom as Naveen Kumar has proven. The Nano ESP32 is a small IoT development board for the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, featuring Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity. It also has a relatively high clock speed and quite a lot of memory: 240MHz and 512kB SRAM, respectively. That still isn't enough to meet the requirements of the original Doom release, which needed a lot more RAM. But Kumar demonstrates the use of an MCU-friendly port that runs well on this more limited hardware. Want to give it a try yourself? You'll need the Nano ESP32, an Adafruit 2.8" TFT LCD shield, an M5Stack joystick, a Seeed Studio Grove dual button module, a breadboard, and some jumper wires to create a simple handheld console. You'll have to compile and flash the Retro-Go firmware, which was designed specifically for running games like Doom on ESP32-based devices. You can then load the specialized WAD (Where's All the Data) files. Kumar reports an average frame rate at a 320×240 resolution, which is very playable.
