40MHz vs. 20MHz WiFi bands - possible issue

Well, strap yourself in for hours of customer support if you go with P0 or P1 (which we use).

ESP32 has 40mhz. I’m not sure about you, but theres been zero communication on when scale friendly versions will become available (ie I’m not redesigning the entire board to fit the dev board and paying the premium).

the only thing really keeping me on particle platform is:

  • the few days it’d take to add webhook style logic to a mqtt server to catch interesting post events and then send them on. Seen as my use cases are nearly all firebase related and Google IoT works nicely, I’m not even sure these days if thats much of a concern either.
  • building a factory process for burning device UIDs
  • confirmation that OTA updates and fallback would work well on my own esp32 implementation.
  • other dragons. I know esp32 adc simply doesn’t work, that’s ok, external i2c adc and thats solved. I’ve been following the espressif forums since the beginning and asked Zach over a year ago when they’d finally make the jump, and i’m sure they’ve bumped into a few other dragons aside from ADC being less than 8 bit useful after having to calibrate each port (!).

i’d personally quite like running my own webhook system, if it was still opensource I’d do that next week.
