Good day all. Please I need assistance figuring out whether pull-up resistors are needed on gpio 0 and 2 of esp-01 for normal operation. I've gotten confused by the datasheet. If the resistor is required, can a 1k or 10k suffice.
for normal operation.
That is going to depend entirely on your (missing) definition of "normal". If what you connect to the pins pulls the pins HIGH or LOW ALL THE TIME, then pullup or pulldown or pull-sideways or pull-backwards or pull-forwards resistors are not needed.
If whatever is connected does not always make the pin HIGH or LOW, some internal or external pull-some-way resistor is needed, unless you like dealing with floating pins.
