Could it work with an ESP01?

Sadly the ESP01 doesn't have an ADC and we need one to measure the solar panel input voltage.

An ESP8266 has one ADC channel with 10bit resolution so it may work, but the little extra resolution of the ESP32 and far more flexibility made it an easy choice. The ESP32 has 12 bit resolution (0-4096).

So the answer is yes ??

Comparison - note ESP32 has bluetooth. What is the concern about flexibility?

Sure, give it a shot! I haven’t tried it. And it will definitely work great if you’re using one of the now-supported DPS5005 power supplies that have input voltage measurement built in.

I’m curious though, why an 8266?
