I have posted at:

Thank you. Are these python scripts only compatible with ESPNOW? Or we can test ESP32-WROOM etc. too?

You can already test RSSI on the standard ESP32 variants with v1.18.

Code: Select all

rssi = sta_if.status('rssi')
print (str(rssi))

I should made it clearer that I was talking about v1.18 of the ESPNow images at:
https://github.com/glenn20/micropython- ... g24cf16719
for example.
