Hello, I'm developing a project based on ESP-NOW communication. It was difficult at first but now it is working flawlessly. I'm surprised on how this protocol performs. https://github.com/gmag11/EnigmaIOT/ I understand that it uses "aloha" method to transmit. So collisions are expected to ...

It is true that mesh topology on PainlessMesh is a star shape, actually it is a tree. Every node may have up to 4 direct subnodes, due to ESP8266 limitation.Probably this limit may be higher on ESP32. There is always a root node, but PainlessMesh is self healing. If any node disappears, including ro...

Hi , can i have one of the node connected to the Mesh and in same time maintain a normal TCP/IP connection to send and receive HTTP requests like a mobile app to control the MESH nodes? It has method to start a node with only AP or STA interfaces connected to the mesh. In normal nodes, both interfa...

Hi, a computer can connect to any node as they are WiFi APs. But it is neccesary to develop a software on PC that implements mesh protocol to talk to the mesh. This is not an easy task, although BlackEdder hace some code on D language. You can find it on https://github.com/BlackEdder/easyMesheD. I d...

It should be straightforward. You have to use StartHere.ino example. You may enable debugging by adding DEBUG option to setDebugMsgTypes() call.

You may open an issue in repository if you need more help.

I am working in a project like that. Have a look to https://gitlab.com/BlackEdder/painlessMesh

It is a non IP, JSON based messages mesh.

Hi José Luis, I've seen your youtube video. This project is very interesting. ESP8266 has endless possibilities. Maybe you'd like to have a look to our PainlessMesh library for ESP8266 with Arduino IDE. It is quite easy to use and probably it may fit you project quite well. It is available on https:...

Hi All, I am participating in the development of a mesh library called painlessMesh . It is not based on ESP-MESH but on Coopdis easyMesh implementation. As his project seems to be frozen we have fixed a few bugs and implemented some new features. It's available on https://gitlab.com/BlackEdder/pain...
