Is there an ESP32xxx chip I can use for my project?

Postby pmi2410 » Sun Nov 10, 2024 6:49 pm

I have a project prototype for a wifi controller using a Pi Zero W. The Pi Zero W is used to control a separate hardware board using the SPI bus, GPIO pins, and the I2C bus. It also provides a small web site over the WiFi connection to allow the user to interact with the hardware. The code is written in Python, and the OS on the Pi is Ubuntu. I would like to replace the Pi Zero W board with a WiFi SOC and that runs on a flavor of Linux and allows me to continue software development in Python. Is there a chip in the ESP32 family that I can use to replace the PI Zero W board?

No (current) member of the ESP32 family can run (a production version of) Linux, so if that's a requirement, then ESP32 chips won't fulfill that.

MicroPython may be worth checking out.

What ESP32 should I look at for the following specs:
ESP-NOW support
ADC
DAC
GPIO
WiFi
Bluetooth optional

What dev kit should I consider?
