Badge report! Brag Tape, Radio Peripheral update, and our ESP32 development board. It’s from hacker boxes and has a TFT display, programmable RGB LEDs, an SD card for storage, up down left right select user interface input, and some circuitry for charging a lithium ion battery. It’s a good platform for building up the executive function code for Phase 4 Ground radios.
What do we have working?
A high resolution display, SD card access, and bluetooth advertising that sends commands to the trans ionospheric badge.
ESP32 development can be done with the Arduino IDE, but this is very limited and hogs memory. For Phase 4 Ground we use the ESP IDF. This means command line, but Visual Studio Code works with some setup. This gives you context colors and build and run functions.
We highly recommend the ESP32 check it out at the links below. Our next report will be about multicast IP SDR work. See you then!
