Can the ESP32 handle multiple telnet connections and the 5V issue

[freebsdx]

Hello,

I looking for the ideal ESP32 board for my project:

https://makeradvisor.com/esp32-developm ... omparison/

One issue is that I would prefer to use 5V version just like an arduino for various reasons, like for 5V all the components like relays are about half of the price. I would need to mesure voltage and current with the ICS current sensor which is 5V again but I guess there is some alternatives out there.

My other question is, which is not completely clear to me after reading through couple of forum posts that can the ESP32 handle multiple telnet requests simulteanously?

I got used to running a C code on an raspi which can easily serve hundreds of clients from the data it received from an arduino through serial. I would like to leave out a raspi from my build if the ESP32 can do this. There would be 5-10 clients connecting with the frequency of 1 minute to pull some information from the ESP32. This is also has to be roboust, eg I don't want it to crash, run out of resources after a month.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Considering the TCP connections, I think there is an option in esp-idf menuconfig that is "Maximum listening TCP Connections".
It says:

Code: Select all

The maximum number of simultaneously listening TCP                    
connections. The practical maximum limit is                            
determined by available heap memory at runtime.
Changing this value by itself does not substantially                    
change the memory usage of LWIP, except for preventing              
new listening TCP connections after the limit is reached.
