Re: measure relative distance between devices through wifi or bluetooth (COVID19 application)

Distance estimation can be done using RSSI of received BLE advertisments from other devices. I think there are some hackable smart-watch or smart-bands available on the market which are based on nRF52. This platform can run MicroPython as well. In that case you would not need to develop custom hardw...

Re: ESP 32 - is it possible to use W5500 ?

My understanding is that you can still use socket API of the Wiznet chip if you write a driver for that. It just won't be exposed to lwip. Am I right?

Re: ESP32 auto reset circuit

@Roberthh Reset is triggered immediately after the the FTDI chip is connected to USB cable/host. The chip is powered from bus. I think it is related to power-on state/sequence of DTR and RTS pins. @tve You are right regarding two use-cases of the interface. The idea was not to expose reset and flash...

Re: ESP32 auto reset circuit

I built custom board with FTDI231X and above-mentioned auto-reset circuit. Works with esptool without any issues. However, in my application I need to have the ESP32 running continuously (powered from different power source than USB). When necessary I want to be able to connect to REPL via USB conne...

Re: OLED with SSD1322 controller

I am familiar with SSD1306 driver and used it a lot in the past. However SSD1306 is limited to 128*64px and I was in need of something bigger. SSD1322 does not support I2C, only SPI and parallel. Yes, I was also thinking to adapt SSD1322 library for CPython. I should have hardware with 3.12" 256*64p...

Re: New ESP32 development board DMtech DEV01 with NB-IoT interface

Sorry, no progress on this board. Are you able to manufacture by yourself if I share gerbers and BOM?

Re: Decoding BLE Scan Results

The string is not BLE address but probably iBeacon UUID, which is encoded in the message. Some resources on how to decode BLE advertisments: https://www.silabs.com/community/wireless/bluetooth/knowledge-base.entry.html/2017/02/10/bluetooth_advertisin-hGsf https://www.blueupbeacons.com/docs/WorkshopB...

Re: Flash Esp32 from another Esp32

I am also interested in this.

The goal: To build tester device based on MP which would be able to flash specific firmware into target device.
