[Solved] Why there are internal Hall sensor and Temperature sensor in ESP32

Postby human890209 » Thu Oct 18, 2018 2:02 pm

Hi,
I'm wondering why there are internal Hall sensor and Temperature sensor on ESP32?
Are these two sensors used by WiFi, Bluetooth or some other functions to adjust their settings or improve their performance?

Or should I be aware of the temperature and magnetic field of the environment which will damage or disturb ESP32?
Is ESP32 a fragile chip which should be used and monitored more carefully so there comes with these two internal sensors?

The temperature sensor is used by WiFi, to compensate the calbibration for increasing temperratures if it's used in e.g. a WiFi lightbulb. The Hall sensor is not intrinsically used for anything.
