For sure, but radio transmitter time is almost always much more expensive than CPU time! It’s 4mA-20mA vs 180mA on an esp32; having the radio on is a 160mA load

- jviotti 2y agoSounds like you are pretty familiar with satellite transmission at the hardware level. If so, I would love to chat to get your brains on it. I don't know much of the hardware constraints myself.
- freeone3000 2y agoYou can; I worked mostly with WiMAX instead of direct satellite but the radio transmission is the killer either way.
- leeoniya 2y ago> on an esp32; ironically the main criticism i've heard of these is how power-inefficient they are :P
