Support for ESP-Mesh
ESP-Mesh allows support for mesh networking between ESP devices. The last mention I can find of mesh networking as a possibility for MicroPython is https://github.com/micropython/micropython-esp32/issues/176 from three years ago, which was closed without being implemented. I'd like to request this feature if it isn't already on the table.
Ethernet W5500 is now supported by ESP-IDF. Feature request: is possible to support it in the MicroPython too?
Hi all.
I see here in the issues and in the MicroPython forum many threads about people want ethernet support on ESP32 using the W5500, but there is not a real driver (pure python or not).
Problem 1: The ESP32 has a MAC address where is possible to use a external PHY, like as lan8720, but that use ~10pins
Problem 2: Only the ESP32 has MAC address, others ESP32-S2, S3, etc does not have.
Well, I see that the ESP-IDF is supporting now the W5500: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/ethernet/basic/main
So, in my opinion is very essential a support for the W5500 on Micropython to works in all ESP32 family chips (ESP32, S2, S3, C3, etc)
Are in the roadmap to support the W5500 via ESP-IDF? If not, please, anyone know if are there a place where has a working driver for the ESP32? I would like to use in the ESP32-S3.
Thank you.
Edit:
Even we have a driver for the W5500 on the MicroPython, will the SSL/TLS supported by the ethernet sockets, like as in the WiFi sockets?
