Is there a way to return esp model num/type ? similar to getChipID() or macAddress() ?

I'd like to write code that can do different things based on which model it's flashed onto and have one code run on different models.

I don't think the first 3 bytes on the MAC Address will do.

Thanks,
Rey

If you still want to check ChipID or MAC address, esptool.py has "chip_id" and "read_mac" option.

Thanks again.
