Is M17 possible with this hardware? #27

Closed AbortRetryFail closed 1 week ago

AbortRetryFail commented 1 week ago

There's plenty of processor power in a smartphone to do all the DSP work, but is the radio chip up to the task?

No, you'll need to replace DRA818 with SA868 Then you'll be able to do M17. Especially with the open source firmware

I really wanted to add M17 support, but I spoke with one of the creators and apparently it would require people to flash the radio module itself, not just the ESP32. That is far more advanced than I want the mainline version of this project to get.

That said, if someone wants to create a more advanced variant of the project that implements this, that would be really awesome (and I'd probably play around with it myself!).

Closing this out because I believe it is infeasible for the mainline kv4p HT project.
