Just wondering if anyone has used some of the other
brands of ESP32 + LoRa
radios, and whether they’d work? There’s a few choices on Amazon. Sparkfun
doesn’t seem to have any with esp32 anymore and choosing their board would
mean porting disaster radio to ARM & how their board is set up.
No experience, and not really what you asked, but I do not understand
why an ESP32 (nodemcu style board) attached to an RFM95 module via SPI
with both on a breadboard wouldn't either work or be easily made to
work. That strikes me as a parts list that should be relatively easy to
obtain, even if it's not great for deployment.
I ordered lilygo ttgo boards from Aliexpress, but
after waiting over 6
weeks, little cameras arrived — the wrong thing. Not willing to roll the
dice again with such a long shipping process.
Thanks for the data point...
