Awesome new hardware! Congrats guys!
New Particle hardware?
@will, if you do decide to come out with a ESP32 specific module in the future, please also release another specific Particle Ethernet FeatherWing for it also. Using the WIZnet W5500 chip for the ESP32 makes no sense because the ESP32 has this built in. Just need the PHY like a LAN8710.
Or just bring out all the ESP32 pins to a header so at least we can do that on our main board.
Small nice touch - havenāt even finished checking out but needed to update my cc. Thatās the nicest card entry field Iāve used. Props to whoever did that.
Iām happy to see the separate Bluetooth chip because of the BLE on the ESP32 from what I had seen before this release we not very low power due to the ESP32 requiring at least 80mA or so to run.
Still making my way through this thread so forgive me if this has already been mentioned
IIRC, the Nordic chip can even execute code stored in the external flash.
This one should be able to route the Particle cloud traffic through Ethernet.
Uhm⦠without knowing exactly what is planned for firmware, I think I just sit down and let the dust to settle.
The potential is there, though.
Itās not a āseparate Bluetooth chipā, but rather the main MCU. The ESP is the āseparate WiFi chipā in this regard.
A little different than I thought then, but still good because it should be super low power.
Iām busy catching up on these forum post, havenāt even looked at the new product pages yet.
Any chance that Particle could invest their own dev resources into getting Particle traffic routed through CEās ethernet overlay shield?
Be quick before theyāre all gone
I think there is already loads on their slate - especially for their own products (one of which will do exactly that) first Iād guess
