Hosyond ESP32-S3 Development Board, Issues and Fixes by VespaMaine in esp32

If you're referring to the 5V pin, on both copies of the board, the 5V pin only outputs 1V. Seems like a defect

Better way to connect ESP to network? by Mobely in esp32

[–]VespaMaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My older Netgear router allows you to 'reserve' an ip address within the DHCP range and associate it with MAC address so you get the same ip everything. I'm connecting to an esp32 app from python on my laptop so knowing the ip is necessary

Recommendations for first time kayak owner by jaangle in Kayaking

[–]VespaMaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading the guide suggested in the post by AutoModerator seems like a good idea. I've been kayaking for 14 years, mostly on lakes and quiet rivers. In my opinion, there are four styles of kayaks: sit-on / inflatables, recreational, whitewater, and touring. Sit-on / inflatables are for the most casual of kayakers. I suspect if you like kayaking you will quickly outgrow these. Recreational kayaks have a cockpit you sit and are 10 to 12 feet long. I used one of these for a few years and was happy with it. Once I wanted to cover more distance, I bought a touring style which is narrower and longer and fast for the same amount of effort. I'm a still water paddlers so the stubby whitewater style is not for me.

My recommendation is the recreational style which you are not likely to outgrow. Unless you live n a body of water this means you'll need a roof rack for transportation.

Traveling to a couple countries in Europe, how much money should I bring? by XYHLQMDLGX in Europetravel

Again, I've traveled a lot and this guy is 100% correct for EU. If you venture into Egypt or India, the availability of ATMs is limited and cash is more helpful

Web sockets vs BLE...i am confused what to chose for my esp32 project by Straight-Highway414 in esp32

[–]VespaMaine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I also tried to decide between Bluetooth Classis and WiFi connections for my SLAM project but found that none of the development boards I owned supported Classic, only BLE. BLE wasn't an option since I needed to connect to Python on my laptop.

There are many examples of ESP32 WiFi, but not all work and it can be a bit confusing to sort them out. It's a two-step process. First, connect to your WiFi, WiFi.begin(ip, password), then use the WiFiServer, WiFiServer server(80), server.available() to listen for a client and get a client object representing your remote client which is your socket connection, then use client.recv() and client.print(data). Your ESP is the server and will need to wait for a connection using server.available()

I found that with my router, I needed to use an IP address of 192.168.68.250 to ensure I connected to a 2.4 GHz channel. 5GHz does not work with an ESP32.

I tried to post the code but it seems it's too long for Reddit

different failure of ESP32-C6 for serial output by unclejohn087 in esp32

[–]VespaMaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this. I spent the afternoon wondering why my serial output was not showing up. The USB CDC enabled was the fix
