1.1. ESP32

ESP32 integrates Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz band) and Bluetooth 4.2 solutions on a single chip, along

with dual high performance cores and many other versatile peripherals. Powered by 40 nm

technology, ESP32 provides a robust, highly integrated platform to meet the continuous

demands for efﬁcient power usage, compact design, security, high performance, and

reliability.

Espressif provides the basic hardware and software resources that empowers application
