A Pi Wars robot needs to be remote-controllable, and network connectivity is extremely useful for telemetry, debugging etc. As the Pico doesn’t natively have any kind of wireless connectivity, I’m using an ESP32 to provide that functionality. It connects to a bluetooth gamepad, relaying controller input to the Pico, and acts as a WiFi access point to provide network connectivity. https://blog.usedbytes.com/2021/01/m5stack-core2-early-impressions/ Sat, 16 Jan 2021 11:13:08 +0000 https://blog.usedbytes.com/2021/01/m5stack-core2-early-impressions/ Just after Christmas I ordered an M5Stack Core2 (referred to as M5Core2 in many places) on a bit of a whim. I’ve been annoyed about my lack of a self-contained rapid-prototyping platform, and the M5 hardware looks pretty good, and appears popular online. Historically I’ve used original Mbed LPC1768 boards which I’ve collected over time. However the “old” online compiler platform for Mbed is more-or-less unsupported now, and last time I tried the newer mbed-cli system, I had a lot of trouble setting it up.
