New FEATURES gathering

How about increasing the limit of no. of stations that can connect to one SoftAP?

I believe there should be an alternative provisioning/wifi password setting method that works with a smartphone. What about NFC, sound (modulating wifi password as CW or AM and playing it on the speaker,) or using a PCB trace as an induction coil to catch signal directly from the speaker coil?

Would you please consider adding some better DSP capability in the CPU eg:

In the "4.1Overview of Options" of the "Xtensa Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) Reference Manual" (http://0x04.net/~mwk/doc/xtensa.pdf) are listed some options that support DSP. Would you please consider adding the following (if not already included):

1. 32-bit Integer Multiply Option
2. 32-bit Integer Divide Option
3. MAC16 Option


Being able to do some DSP on sensor data before it is sent will open up options of acting locally, customizing the processing for each location or sensor, as well as reducing bandwidth requirements. This would enable systems to be better able to be scaled up. That is, as the system grows so does its processing ability. The upstream load, as the system is scaled up, is less dependent on system size enabling a more flexible system.

If these options could be added while maintaining the low cost of your product, I believe this would increase your products appeal.

I would like to have support for this standard in my iot gadgets:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMA_LWM2M
http://technical.openmobilealliance.org/Technical/technical-information/release-program/current-releases/oma-lightweightm2m-v1-0

An open source c++ library for it was already have been released, so it is a matter of integrate it with Espressif SDK ...

信号中继，可以当做信号放大器用

I would definitely appreciate hardware PWM support. It is a real struggle to implement LED dimming or motor control without it.

25KHz PWM. In some application, e.g. DC motor driving, PWM may cause accoustic nose. A simple solution is to use PWM with the frequency around 25KHz. As pwm resolution has been 45ns, that means it is complete feasable to upgrade PWM frequency to 25KHz with the resolution better than 512; I have noticed a request for this at least 1 year ago. I wish we could soon find that in esp8266 bot NONOS and RTOS SDK (at least RTOS version) and be ready in ESP32 SDK when it is available.

Thans and Regards

I hope support more GPIO, we can use a group of GPIO as switch to config MESH_GPIO_ID flexible by consumer , otherwise we need a extra GPIO chip for this purpose.

another more UART is right.

[Hemamali]

having precise receiver time stamp through Time of Arrival(via multi-path Channel State Information) surely helps a lot for indoor localisation applications. does your latest ESP8266 SDK already supports this feature? if yes, how can i get access to that? kindly guide me regarding this

Mesh network

I second that. It will be very nice and useful if mesh is properly integrated into the main SDK in one of the future release!
