Problem Description

the library does not set i2c pins for ESP-01 correctly. It comes with default 4 SDA/5 SCK which ESP01 is missing. It should set them GP2 and GP0.

MCVE Sketch

#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {

// requires manual initialization
Wire.begin (2,0);

}

void loop() {

The default (sda,scl)=(4,5) choice is historical and it is not advised to change them now.
Sadly, there is no esp01 in the available board list.
What can be proposed is to add a new board variant (= a new board esp01 or esp01s or both) with proper documentation.
Would you be keen to make such a proposal ?

Changes would happen there where you can amend the board list displayed in the IDE and allow selecting the matching variant. Its include files would go to variants/esp01/.

I often use ESP-01 with AHT10 in my projects and they work OK if SDA is on GPIO0 and SCL is on GPIO2.
