Crafting queries for replacements.

Here are safe, drop‑in replacements for U1 (ESP32‑WROOM‑32D). Per the ESP32‑WROOM‑32E/32UE datasheet: “ESP32‑WROOM‑32E / ESP32‑WROOM‑32UE modules use ‘Type 3’ footprints and can be replaced with ESP32‑WROOM‑D / ESP32‑WROOM‑U modules.” This confirms footprint/pin compatibility.

Notes
  • Compatibility source: ESP32‑WROOM‑32E/32UE datasheet states they can replace ESP32‑WROOM‑32D/32U on “Type 3” footprints.
  • If you want external antenna performance, choose a 32UE option; otherwise, 32E is the simplest drop‑in.
Which direction do you prefer: internal antenna (ESP32‑WROOM‑32E) or external antenna (ESP32‑WROOM‑32UE‑N16)?
