@lupyuen With RISC-V it seems that the choice is either to pay a lot of money for open hardware or pay pocket change for a handful of odd Shenzhen Samples from good ole Guangdong, Zhongguo.

@lupyuen I called it lol. Ever since I got the k210 dual core 64bit RISC-V SoC in the M5 Camera, I knew that RISC-V was going to take over certain areas. I saw object detection faster than anything I have experienced before. This architecture is much like the Linux kernel of CPUs.

@lupyuen The ESP32 is the evolution of the ESP8266. The 82 was designed for serial to wifi communication. Both the 32 and 82 do this very well. The reason why it ended up in IoT was likely due to it being so cheap but reliable. I liked your take on the differences between the two.

@lupyuen I used the ESP boards and thought they were okay. After the BL602 learning curve, I see two different products with two different purposes.

@lupyuen Not very scientific. I was trying to set up a mesh, it didn't work out. I was curious so I just carried out this crude test. The concrete walls will be a recurring theme.

@lupyuen *better performance on paper.

The ESP32 was only able to be detected in a very small area (<10m) while the BL602 was able to be detected up to approximately 20-30 meters in this test.

@lupyuen I will share the results. It was a means to verify the documentation of both modules. I put a BL602 in a closed room with small windows and concrete walls. The ESP32 was placed outside the room in an open area surrounded on three sides with concrete walls, one of which had a window. The two boards were used in BLE Mesh Node configuration (guess what I tried to test). So I used a smartphone and walked down both hallways continuously scanning for BLE devices. The BL602 has a BLE performance (on paper.)

@lupyuen I ran some basic tests on the BL602 and the ESP32. It's like comparing a weird WNIC to a device that was clearly designed to retrofit machinery and then upgraded.

@freemo @Science have you tried a reverse image search?

@freemo @Science It would be a Sin to just let it happen.

@lupyuen grams not kilograms.

@lupyuen Amphetamine was originally used in the US as a replacement for ephedrine. It worked well and during one of the controlled trials for bronchitis, it was noted that hyperactive children calmed down. The scientists were more puzzled than usual. Fast forward to today and 47,000,000 kg of free base oil is domestically produced for medical use.

@lupyuen I got caught up in some code. I'm okay. I still have ADHD and take the medication to help manage my symptoms.

@trinsec I use \LaTeX to typeset as I am a Mathematician (among other things). I will use GNU/Emacs if I have to. Thanks for the advice and link but LaTeX and Beamer are what I use whenever possible. My resume, or CV, was made with LaTeX.

@fxdm Mathematical Modeling is beautiful. Imagine the graph if the field didn't exist. ;)

@szopen Discourse and Matrix are far more impressive when it comes to productivity.

@freemo They did amazing things but the most impressive is still just assumed. Development of Maize from a very unimpressive plant to real food.

@freemo @Science That reminds me of the "jumpers" that form from use of RoHS solders over time.

@lupyuen Thank you sir. I have no bio but it wouldn't be difficult to find my accounts as they have references to R(S)-1-Phenyl-Propan-2-Amine in their names. It's a tongue in cheek reference to ADHD and being fed amphetamine tablets from an early age.

@lupyuen I'm still working on code and interoperability between different devices. You are the reason that I have gotten as far as I have. I will also need to change my American Mathematical Society specialized LaTeX environment to IEEE Presentation Standards. Lol, I'm doing research on my hardware on my own time and my own dime.
