This is exactly the kind of information needed to kickstart some badass projects that require wireless transmission between 2 boards. Definitely planning on using this information in a few projects as this will be an amazing way to control things over a short distance without having to use any form of internet or additional modules to make it work. By the way, that's one badass project you've got there. It's simplistic, yet really cool and functional as well.

I do agree with you how come this ESPNOW is so under-used.

I have many devices on my wifi and when we recently switched to Hotwire they use the Eero mesh network. In order to keep my many devices, I implemented the Espnow protocol to offload many wifi sensors. I had to implement a "hub" to provide the fixed channel for Espnow, since the mesh freely hops channels. Since switching I have about 30 Espnow devices alongside the 100 or so wifi based devices. Your explanation is great and should get anyone excited about the possibilities.

Thanks for the great video, my head is swimming as new ideas are being developed. This will definitely play into the design of my project for controlling fans and heaters in my car. Now I can control them remotely from inside my house or worksite to better conserve my battery's usage. This battery-operated module has heating and cooling features dependent upon the season. If I want to go somewhere early in the morning, I can remotely activate a heater and fan to clear my windshield from fog and dew. I think I might add a camera later to see if the fog is cleared (no white reflection) to turn off the heated fan and save battery power. If I notice that the temperature is starting to rise outside and I know I'm going to be driving it soon, I want to activate the cooling function. I have a thermometer in the car that is used to control an exhaust fan installed in one of the windows. I have a small solar panel mounted on the sunroof to help charge the battery. What kind of range is typical for this communication? I see this could also be changed from a Master/Transmitter with Slave/Receiver operation to a two-way communication system. That opens the door to adding an alarm system in case someone likes my car too.

@programmingelectronics Рік тому

Range looks pretty impressive from what I’ve seen online in some field tests around 500ft depending on obstacles

@morpheon_xyz Рік тому

Ahh, I see someone else is also thinking of using it in their car 😋 definitely going to be using mine in the car for multiple features. I'm currently working on a customized ligting feature as I'm planning on adding DRLs to my MK1 Velociti, especially for more visibility, and some other features for show as well. Also planning on adding a camera to the mix, although that I'll probably run off a Sim module so I can use it anytime as my car sometimes need to stay at work, so the ESP32 will definitely be great for alarm features as well. Also being able to control the lights etc from my phone instead of just the 2nd ESP32 would also be an awesome addition, for when someone else likes my car too. The possibilities have shot up with these boards, and I'm glad to see that others are also looking into modding their vehicles with these systems (even if it's minor mods). You could possibly even create your own vehicle tracking system if you add a GPS module and configure it to send you a message or notification with location if the vehicle has been started without an authorization key / button / RFID tag or something. As mentioned, the possibilities are much greater now with these boards. Anyways, all the best to you with your endeavours on your project

@jimsnodgrass8454 11 місяців тому

Great Explanation of the key ESP NOW concepts.. I have a question tho.. have you found a way to extend the ESP NOW's range by lowering the bit rate of the WiFi signal, but from within the Arduino IDE 1.8.x or 2.1x? I haven't been able to do this without generating IDE compiler errors, but understand that there is a way to config the WiFi for the 1Mbit 802.11n slower rate if using the ESP IDF, and that will dramatically increases the signal's range at the expense of losing the default 54MBit data rate set by the Arduino IDE. If you know of a way to extend the range while using the standard PC card Antenna, I'd really like to hear about it. Thanks Again , jimS

@StevePotter Рік тому

Thank you, that was beautifully explained and demonstrated. I am using ESP-NOW for a wireless CNC pendant and I agree, this is a very under-used and powerful feature of ESP32 (and '8266). One question I have, which I could not find on Espressif's docs, is how exactly ESP-NOW deals with failed transmissions (no response from receiver). I would like details of how many retries, does it change power level, effect on transmission speed, effect on range, and can I control any of these things myself? Like, can I just tell it not to bother doing any retries, so I can move on to the next data packet as quickly as possible?

@wkjagt 2 місяці тому

This is really well explained. Thank you for that! I was wondering, is there a way to have bidirectional communication between two ESP boards? Even if you need to specifically set the mode to either transmit or receive, I wonder if it would be feasible to somehow switch between both modes at a certain interval, so each board is receiver half the time, and transmitter the other half.

If it has some sort of PING functionality, you could try using that then measure with the response time. You would have to determine if the response time from 1 meter is 1/20 the time from 20 meters. There may be some additional delay in there due to processing speed, but it may be possible. The ESP device might not be fast enough to give you the resolution you're looking for, but definitely worth a try.

I did program an ESP32 for Master/Send to verify it works, and it did. Bother serial monitors send the expected results when I use the ESP32. Thanks for any help.

Hi Eric - great questions! -Just to make sure I follow... Are you saying that when using the ESP Now protocol you cannot get your esp8266 to act as the Master/TX and an esp32 act as a Slave(RX)? Am I following you correctly?

Very fundamental mind exploding step you failed to flag and that is when you connect your device to your computer and it fails to connect or show up you will need to download the drivers for the device in question. There are a couple one is the CH340 USB to serial controller the other is the CP210x USB to UART. With out these installed on the Windows machines the connection will pretty much fail. Not sure about the Mac and would be nice to know if the Mac requires similar drivers.

so true - drivers can drive you mad!

Sir can I enter my Arduino loop code under the void loop (slave) to work? Or we have to write the another code for that void loop? I want to process the entire working wirelessly that's why i am using ESP 32.

@programmingelectronics Рік тому

Yes, you can add more Arduino code right into the loop() function.

@technicalgaming7056 Рік тому

@@programmingelectronics ok sir . I have one more query is there any other module which is smaller then the ESP 32 which can send the information of sensor wirelessly to the another ESP and process it to give back the instruction to that module for doing some action. Basically i want to know is there any alternative of ESP.

What is the transmit distance between these two devices?

@programmingelectronics Рік тому

Great question! A bunch of folks have done "field measurements", maybe I can do a meta study of those results and publish what I find here. It really depends on obstructions from what I gather, but as far 220 meters I have read.

Espnow is buggy and doesn't work when sending messages from esp8266 to esp32 s3 if the s3 is connected to wifi . Anyone can help me with a work around?

Great question Go Han! Short answer, I don't know. There are a lot of different folks online who have done measurements, perhaps I will try to put together some data from those. Sorry I could not be of more help!

So being new to ESP32 and coming from Arduino, I found something just now that was very disappointing. For me, the whole point of going to ESP32 was the need for more memory. So in learning and focusing on networking (WiFi) I was very disappointed when I discovered that one single function: *WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA_AP)* just sucks up memory like crazy! Without it, my test sketch took 19%, but with it enabled, it jumped to a massive 51% !!! As I learn about WiFi on the board, I'll see if I really NEED that, but so far, it appears that I do if I want to implement my project as desired. I would like (prefer) to have all my remote stations (6 to 8 of them) to communicated back and forth with each other (possibly) and with 2 or more "receivers." Learning mode ENGAGED! LOL

You know have not found a basic explanation for what an API is and now it works with these devices?

@apostolosn5536 10 місяців тому

I see a weird behavior in the master sketch. When the master connect to slave1 it reports in the serial monitor that the mac address of the slave that it is connected too is C8F09EF17221 but actaully the slave mac address is C8F09EF17220 (as reported by the MAC address finder sketch). Why is this happening ? The communication between the two devices is OK.

@programmingelectronics 10 місяців тому

hmmmm. That is weird. I'm not sure what would be going on.

How many packets (of 250 bytes) is it capable of sending a second

@programmingelectronics Рік тому

Great question! I can't back this up with the documentation, but based on reading some field tests online, I think it takes about 4ms to send and receive. so maybe 250 times per second depending on conditions.
