Re: [DisasterRadio] Porting to Cortex M4?

The board that is sort of nodemcu sized looks interesting, and it's nice it has an SMA connector for Lora. The ESP32 has an ARM but it is some Xtensa variant. And it has Bluetooth/wifi. So the new part from seeed is not a direct replaement, as to get a device to function as it does now, you'd have to add wifi or bluetooth. As I understand it, the big power draw is running wifi, and I am guessing also having the lora receiver enabled. I think this part could be used to make a lora-only relay station with no local BLE/WIFI access. It would be good for the code base to be buildable for as many devices as possible, in terms of forcing portability on it by adding support. If it's really easy, that comment is misplaced :-) Keep in mind that I am a disaster.radio.newbie so I may have gotten something wrong.
