uBitx Wireless Memory Management

? I¡¯m thinking of replacing the Radino Arduino with the EPS-32S chip (WiFi and Bluetooth) for memory and memory group creation, editing and recall. The control rf is passed through seams in your uBitx chassis (if you haven¡¯t put copper tape everywhere!).? ? I¡¯ve never used this chip and I wonder about: Power consumption, Arduino IDE and code compatibility, rf hash. Or any horror stories. ? Here is a video of my implementation (using another chip) on a Ten-Tec QRP rig. Vid is only 55 seconds and NO TALKING. ? Bob wm6h? ? Chip should be about $8 China $11 US |

Many "Arduino compatible" things out there simply mean they work in the IDE - they don't ensure any kind of code compatibility. Any lower level code that's fiddling with registers or making assumptions about an underlying AVR architecture won't work with ESP32. I think for the most part the Raduino code is free of such low level code - you might end up changing things for interrupt handling or possibly the included libraries. As for the ESP, not a "horror story" really, but prepare to debug many strange crashes on the ESP especially when using the WIFI stack :). For me, I was working on a APRS modem using an ESP32 and never got the WIFI working at the same time as the on-board ADC. Something to do with timers... I forget.? Personally, I would "gap" a wireless module from the radio control and talk to it over I2C or Serial. Good luck! Sounds interesting!
