Esp32 devices are fully configurable using the SimpleFOClibrary and will work with all driver types.
BEWARE
From the SimpleFOClibrary version v2.2.1, the library requires the esp32 arduino package version v2.0.1+
Some example esp32 based boards:
Board | Name | Specifications | Link | Price |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | ESP32 | (ex. NodeMCU) - 3,3V / 5V logic - 16 PWMs - all pins interrupts - 240MHz - Wifi + Bluetooth | Ebay | 10€ |
![]() | ESP32 R32 D1 board | - 3,3V / 5V logic - 16 PWMs - all pins interrupts - 240MHz - Wifi + Bluetooth - Arduino headers | Amazon Ebay | 10€ |
![]() | FeatherS2 ESP32-S2 | - 3,3V / 5V logic - 8 PWMs - 13 analog channels - all pins interrupts - 240MHz - Wifi | Adafruit shop | 20€ |
![]() | Metro ESP32-S2 | - 3,3V / 5V logic - 8 PWMs - 1813 analog channels - all pins interrupts - 240MHz - Wifi | Adafruit shop | 15€ |
Arduino IDE support package
ESP32 boards are supported using arduino-esp32 package, it is open source software provided by the espressif. You can download the support package through the Arduino Board Manager
by searching for esp32
or follow the instruction of their webpage package installation.
ESP8266 boards support
MCU | 2 PWM mode | 4PWM mode | 3 PWM mode | 6 PWM mode | pwm frequency config |

Esp8266 devices are still in the initial support phase in the SimpleFOClibrary and have been tested with a set of different drivers. These boards have only 4 pwm pins so the 6PWM motor control cannot be implemented, as well as having only one analog input, the foc current control is not possible.
Board | Name | Specifications | Link | Price |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | NodeMCU ESP8266 | - 3,3V logic - 4 PWMs - all pins interrupts - 80-160MHz - Wifi | Aliexpress | 2-10€ |
![]() | ESP8266 ESP-12E D1 board | - 3,3V logic - 4 PWMs - all pins interrupts - 80-160MHz - Wifi - Arduino UNO R3 headers | Amazon Aliexpress | 3-10€ |
