For an extra $1 now you can get integrated WiFi (and Bluetooth but there isn't any BT software support yet) in the form of the $5 Pi Pico W, so that's one route to talking to an IP network for IoT or something like this. A neat thing about the Pico is that you can do hard real-time interface protocols using its PIO (Programmable I/O) channels and DMA and still implement the whole thing in MicroPython.
