Mesh Network

[pedrofelipest]

How to create mesh network? Has it been implemented?

For MicroPython ESP32? No. Probably not anytime soon.

I went and created this issue for ESP-IDF to add 802.11 Ad-Hoc Networks, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
espressif/esp-idf#989

@pedrofelipest ESP-NOW protocol might also be of interest to you.
I'm currently working on getting that implemented for MicroPython.

Thanks @nickzoic, I will check this implementation.

(FYI: Espressif aren't likely to support WiFi AdHoc but have other things on the go, including WiFi Direct and ESP-Mesh. I've closed the issue above.)

@nickovs the ESP-NOW do you have a maximum amount of devices on the network that is mounted?
