## Overview
This page describes how the module of a Wemos D1 mini and ESP8266 is wired to the radio module and is flashed with the latest Firmware.<br/>
Further information will help you to communicate to the compatible inverters.
On this page, you'll find detailed instructions on how to wire the module of a Wemos D1 mini or ESP32 to the radio module, as well as how to flash it with the latest firmware. This information will enable you to communicate with compatible inverters.
You find the full [User_Manual here](User_Manual.md)
## Compatiblity
For now the following Inverters should work out of the box:

## Things needed
In order to build your own Ahoy DTU, you will need some things.<br/>
This list is not closing as the Maker Community offers more Boards than we could cover in this Readme.<br/><br/>
If you're interested in building your own AhoyDTU, you'll need a few things to get started. While we've provided a list of recommended boards below, keep in mind that the maker community is constantly developing new and innovative options that we may not have covered in this readme..
We suggest to use a WEMOS D1 mini Board as well as a NRF24L01+ Breakout Board as a bare minimum.<br/>
Any other ESP8266 Board with at least 4MBytes of ROM could work as well, depending on your skills and goals.<br/>
Make sure the NRF24L01+ module has the "+" in its name as we depend on the 250kbps features provided only with the plus-variant.
For optimal performance, we recommend using a Wemos D1 mini or ESP32 along with a NRF24L01+ breakout board as a bare minimum. However, if you have experience working with other ESP boards, any board with at least 4MBytes of ROM may be suitable, depending on your skills.
Just be sure that the NRF24L01+ module you choose includes the "+" in its name, as we rely on the 250kbps features that are only provided by the plus-variant.

To also run our sister project OpenDTU and be upwards compatible for the future we would recommend to spend some more money on an ESP32 board which has two CPU cores and a NRF24L01+ module with external antenna.
If you're interested in using our sister project OpenDTU or you want to future-proof your setup, we recommend investing in an ESP32 board that features two CPU cores. As Radio you can also use a NRF24L01+ module with an external antenna. While this option may cost a bit more, it will provide superior performance and ensure compatibility with upcoming developments.
