Feature request - linking two modules with a cable #164

Open curiouspl2 opened 6 years ago

curiouspl2 commented 6 years ago

Would it be possible to create version allowing linking of two modules via (short) cable? SPI perhaps? Idea is to use one module as AP and another as STA to allow :

'wifi behind corners' or just placing one module inside building and another outside
using two directional antennas
using different channels
perhaps adding more modules along the cable (f.e. for backup link)

Guess it could be done. A similar idea has been discussed here before to allow for a second WiFi on a different channel. However, I have no experience with SPI.

Is there anywhere a project out there that links two ESPs via SPI as starting point?

You do mean something like this : https://github.com/JiriBilek/WiFiSpiESP ?
