Programming styles of BLuetooth

So I am going to show my ignorance here, and ask how everyone programs Bluetooth, and seek guidance. I have been working on a datalogger for the last few months, and have it working perfectly as I want. It records right about 12,000 entries per day, and stores it all on a SD card in CSV format. I ha...

Re: Custom PCB's, how far do you go?

My only concern I have is picking out some of the smaller components like the voltage regulators and such. I am definitely getting tired of burning spots my kitchen table lol

Custom PCB's, how far do you go?

So I am at the point where i am outgrowing using the trusty breadboards for some of my projects. One in particular will be about 20 to 30 duplicates of the same set up. Currently I am using the ESP32 Dev c. It also requires a micro sd card reader, a sparkfun MAX3232 CMOS to TTL shifter, and some jum...

Re: Are all ESP32's created the same??

I also have had similar reboot problems which seems to be due to the USB connected power supply. Once the ESPs are powered remotely with a stable supply no problems.. There is quite a power draw when the ESP connects to WIFI and it looks as if the USB power supply was limiting the unit. Been using ...

Re: Are all ESP32's created the same??

Ahh.... the easiest way was to scan all the open networks. From there the list was narrowed down to SSIDs with no encryption. Once I have that list, the script picks the one with the best RRSI level. Is it perfect and 100% reliable?, not at all lol... but will it allow me to gather data more than on...

Re: Are all ESP32's created the same??

John, thanks for the reply... I actually ordered a 2 pack of this earlier this morning! This particular project records data on boats in a area, and should upload it directly to our FTP server to be processed at a later date. The key to this one being a success is that it has to be 100% hands off. T...

Re: Are all ESP32's created the same??

ESP_Sprite... thanks for the reply. When using the Arduino libraries, I am using the board for generic ESP8285. I took your advice and ordered a pair of https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07546GQ9W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Now onto my first problem with these new boards... how t...

Are all ESP32's created the same??

So I am fairly fluent in programming, and have been working with c for in excess of 20 years. I have several complex projects under my belt using the Arduino series of boards, but for the life of me, I am feeling defeated with this ESP32 M3 I got on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BJZKN...
