Encountering compilation errors with the ESP32-C3 Zero can be challenging. Ensure your development environment is up-to-date, including the latest board definitions and libraries. If issues persist, consider exploring alternative microcontrollers like the STM32L152RBT6, an ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M3 MCU with 128 KB Flash memory and advanced peripherals, suitable for various applications. This might better align with your project’s requirements and provide a more stable development experience.
