I also find that searching within the forum often fails (or just never finishes), and that Google searching is more likely to yield useful results.

It would be great, however, if the forum search feature could be fixed (improved).

We are using ESP-NOW, but only sending broadcast packets. We are not defining any "peers", and so have a connectionless environment. (We implemented a source address in our proprietary packet data implementation so we could address individual devices, while maintaining a connectionless environment) ...

Thank you, ESP_Angus. We have had similar results - meaning we have run without an antenna at various times without noticeable damage. But recently we noticed one unit that had unexpected (highly variable) RSSI readings - even with an antenna attached. Our theory is that the unit was operated withou...

Is it possible to damage the 2.4 Ghz transmitter if I transmit WiFi or BLE packets on a WROOM-32U without an antenna connected?

Phil.

Awesome!

I am interested in the result of your further testing. We are also excited to have the higher performance, but am concerned that it may reduce reliability...

Unfortunately, the documentation is quite limited. And we have only tested this in the lab - we have not commited to changing the bit rate in production yet. Here is what I know: In `esp_wifi_internal.h` there is: /** * @brief enable or disable transmitting WiFi MAC frame with fixed rate * * @attent...

We have the same issue - and have had to change the #define in the IDF. Is there a better way?

Phil.

I believe the default ESP-NOW bit rate is 1 Mbps. A 250 byte packet would take 2 ms just to send it over the air. So round trip that is a full 4 ms (just in "air" time). We are starting to experiment with increasing the ESP-NOW bit rate in order to reduce round-trip time, and are seeing large improv...

We have a similar requirement for running a Matlab Simulink model at 2 Khz. We implemented it as a task, but had the task wait on a semaphore. The semaphore is then "given" in a 2 kHz hardware timer interrupt. The idea is that every 500 us when the ISR occurs, it bypasses the RTOS and jumps to the t...

I am using the Unity unit test framework in the IDF, and would like to provide fake data from hardware ports. (UART, SPI, GPIO, ADC, etc) Does any one have suggestions on how to write unit tests for functions that access ESP32 hardware? Has anyone used CMock, and have advice or opinions about it? Th...
