ESP32 component

[MJU]

Is there by chance a ESP32 component underway?

This device looks promising.

Hello,

I've bought a couple of the modules but so far not been able to find time to play with them. Hopefully we can do something for these very soon.

I'm loath to do anything too early as the firmware on these types of Chinese module seems to change on a weekly basis.

Afaik there is no standard 'AT'-like firmware for the ESP32 modules like the ESP8266 had. So apart from a component you might need to supply software for the ESP32 as well...

Do we have an update on this? I have purchased some modules from a reputable supplier, Adafruit.
Would like to to use the connectivity features for LoRa radio.

Cheers,

Jack.

I am curious as to what you're attempting to do. The ESP32 component would interface the ESP32 WiFi module to another microcontroller in order to WiFi enable that microcontroller. Not generate code for use on the ESP32.

I am looking to use longer range radios to link 2 ESP32 modules together for a sensor application.

See here. https://youtu.be/w6ygDCTSQug

With these radios, using serial interface: http://www.cdt21.com/parts/files/Data_S ... R-434M.pdf

As I mentioned before, an ESP32 component will not allow you to generate code for the ESP32 itself, just use it to provide WiFi for another (Flowcode supported) controller. Your use case seems to require programming the ESP32, so you will need t look at another solution for that.
If the only goal is to link two controllers using a serially linked radio module you could use another controller that is supported by Flowcode.

BTW, the DS_SLR-434M is narrowband, not LoRa.

The radio modem spec sheet states 2 modes FSK and LoRa.

Thanks for the ESP32 info
