Best ESP Module for Wi-Fi Connectivity in Remote Monitoring with FreeRTOS and MQTT?
Hi guys i'm currently trying to do a project using ESP32, FreeRTOS, and MQTT for remote monitoring and control. I need to select an ESP module for Wi-Fi connectivity. Which module should I choose for considering the following:
However, I believe the ESP32-WROVER's advantages, such as its built-in antenna, higher memory, and better performance, make it the best choice for my project. I'd appreciate feedback on my selection and any guidance on how to mitigate my concerns.
- Hosting a web server with graphics (minimum flash memory size)?
- Reliable wireless connectivity (<200m range) in a sealed enclosure (track or wired antenna)?
- Balancing performance and reliability: ESP32 alone or combined with ATmega328PB?

Solution
and while the ATmega328PB is a reliable microcontroller, it might not offer the same performance or ease of integration for Wi-Fi and complex tasks as the ESP32. Combining the two could add unnecessary complexity unless you have specific reasons to use both.
