Developing ESP-NOW for circuitpython #4

Closed americoperez49 closed 1 year ago

americoperez49 commented 1 year ago

Hi Glenn, I wasn't sure how else to get a hold of you so sorry for the "issue".

I am interested in integrating ESP-NOW with CircuitPython but I have no idea where to start.

Would you be interested in helping me get started/maybe coach me a little so I can attempt this?

@americoperez49 Sorry for the slow response - I've been on holiday for the last week. I know little about circuitpython - especially in the C layer, but I'm happy to help out with this. I imagine it would not be too painful ;).

Do you have a good understanding of the circuitpython internals?

Based on the little that I do know, I believe there is strong compatibility at the C layer (types, etc.) but differences in driver implementations. The esp-now module does lean on the WLAN class implementation and may be sensitive to differences or divergences there.

Hi Glen,

Not a problem. Hopefully your holidays are going well ☺️.

Honestly, my knowledge of the lower level implemention of circuitpython is next to none. With that said, I've been programming for a long time now and I'm sure that whatever I find I'll be able to figure out either on my own or by asking the circuitpython devs directly.

OK - I'm sure we can figure it out with some help :-). I'm just trawling around the circuitpython repo now, familiarising myself with the layout and interfaces.

Ya I'm looking through it now as well. I 'll definitely need some help with understanding some of these things since I'm completely new to this. If you have any tips on where I should start, please let me know.
