ESPHOME and new CC1101 entry installs but errors on starting

Hi - I am using ESPHome within Home Assistant, running on RPi4 with 4GB RAM. I already have one ESP node working well with temperature sensors. I’m now trying to create another so that I can monitor my iBoost solar diverter using this github project GitHub - JNSwanson/ESP-Home-iBoost: ESPHOME Marlec iboost integration

I have tried this with two different CC1101 boards and several D1 mini clone boards - now I’ve tried with a genuine Lolin D1 Mini board, but am consistent#ly getting errors after compilation and flashing, when the node tries to start. Having googled the error, memory shortage on the board seems to be suggested sometimes - I thought using a genuine board might help but that hasn’t been the case.

Now tryingv to get a little further but really this is beyond me so I would be very grateful for some pointers as to where to look. This is the error I’m getting:

Grateful for any pointers. Happy to post more YAML if necessary, but wondered if there might be some generic cause/ideas.
