I wanted not make advertising for MT so I have the module cut off in the picture but if you already recognize it i can answere free:WiFive wrote:How you like that linkit smart7688? Good signal?
the SIG of MT7688 DUO and MT7688 modul is ok with this chip antenna. btw same with MT7628 and MT7621
i like it for playing openwrt and playing/using linux - am testing/working for fun on µLinux and eMbeddedLinux for ESP32 already a longer time, it was paused cause pSRAM, but got some new pSRAM for testings and after the holiday there comes try step two on this for a custom allocation. And there is a waiting for an eMMC support. Hope this comes.
i like the smart things from MT, but am in love with ESP now in the third year near almost close fourth so i try to touch the things for me to work only with ESP in the future like i want it in final fun step with this and a am work on for a fast boot include mountings
i think the MT Serie has a small problem with heat dissipation; maybe that changes a passive heat sink in the MP.
It occurs more frequently when WIFI is used; when (video-mjpeg) streaming, I use a heat sink.
this Pico is a nice idea from espressif - we not know more about just in time, comes this as standard ( for sale ) or is this only test device for a next step, does it eMbedded pSRAM, how much? and if there is OSC in the package, which OSC (26, 40, ..) for later set Baudrate and so on. But i think, this can be a nice miniature package - hope too, they put the NFC in the package
2018 comes the 5GHz Version of ESP32 - I am already very excited how 2018 will be and what comes more.
Hope we can work with one BASE on ESP-IDF - and not need for more toolchains in the future - perhabs work with -D in the compiler and ARGs - but i think we have to learn a new in 2018 ( not knowing this sure honest ).
Back to your question - yes i am, I am satisfied with linkit smart. and for long distance there is IPX on board with a small mod like the Wrover IPX version. MT- it is more or less secondary to me and work here. ESP is always with me every day on the desk.
btw Wrover IPX - got Info from sale, that there is Wrover now available in stock.
( i feel more and more a recharge of batteries )
so many text on one question
best wishes
