csi run through mdf (AEGHB-510) #157

Open Connor-WangK opened 8 months ago

Connor-WangK commented 8 months ago

can CSI detection run through mdf topology, I want to design a system for underground garage lighting, each light communicate with other nodes through mdf, if some one deteact a car or body is moving, it will notify other node to turn up the brightness.

Can you clarify the meaning of MDF, for example, whether it refers to esp-mdf?

Connor-WangK commented 8 months ago

yes, I means esp-mdf, maybe esp-now is ok.

You can obtain CSI data and esp-radar results not only from esp-mdf but also from other esp-now related repositories after integrating the ESP-CSI repository into these projects. However, it is not recommended to develop new projects using ESP-MDF, as it is no longer actively maintained. Instead, we suggest using ESP-MESH-LITE, which is a more recommended alternative.

I have tried both 'esp-mdf' and 'esp-mesh-lite' in a case which link for roadlights, the 'esp-mdf' is better, I guess 'esp-mesh-lite' is suitable work as a less nodes and short distance network topology.

ESP-MDF is built on a proprietary WiFi-mesh protocol, making issue identification more challenging. In contrast, ESP-MESH-LITE is a repository founded on softAP and station, actively maintained, and is the recommended choice for development due to its ease of use and support.
