This board is on the bench. Leave your email and you'll be first in when it ships, and your interest helps decide what we build next.
What you'll build
Make two ESP32 boards talk directly to each other — no Wi-Fi router, no internet, just a fast peer-to-peer link over Espressif's ESP-NOW protocol. You'll build a transmitter/receiver pair, handle peer addressing and channel selection, and flash each board with its role. It's the first link in the wireless mesh that later scales up to a whole fleet.
It sits on the COMMS track: wireless links and meshes that get boards talking to each other and to a hub.
The build pipeline
No steps skipped, no black boxes. Each stage is gated on real proof of work: a clean ERC, valid gerbers, a passing bring-up. You finish having actually done the engineering, not just watched it.
