## What it is
A collection of ESP-IDF components (drivers for sensors, LED controllers, GPIO extenders, ADC/DAC, and other peripherals) for Espressif ESP32-xx chips and ESP8266, written in C. This repository is deprecated and succeeded by the per-component esp-idf-lib/core organization.

## Use cases
- read temperature and humidity sensors on ESP32
- drive LED controllers from ESP-IDF
- use I2C sensor drivers on ESP8266
- read ADC and rotary encoders on ESP32
- monitor power and CO2 levels with ESP32
- extend GPIO pins on an ESP32 project

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy ESP-IDF project already using this library
- you need a broad set of ready-made peripheral drivers for ESP32/ESP8266 in C

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the esp-idf-lib/core per-component repositories instead
- you need bug fixes or updates, since this repo no longer accepts issues or PRs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: embedded, developer-tools, sdk
- domain: embedded-systems, iot, hardware
- platform: embedded, iot, c
- tags: esp32, esp8266, esp-idf, sensor-drivers, i2c, component-library, deprecated
