Power Analysis

Ebyte's datasheet quotes a deep sleep floor of ~25 µA — measured with USB disconnected, OLED off, LoRa radio in full sleep, no peripherals active, running on battery alone. That's the theoretical minimum: just the ESP32 RTC domain alive, waiting for an external wakeup event.

Real-world with Wake-on-Radio running, deep sleep is ~174 µA. That is not a separate mode — it is deep sleep for this project. The SX1262 autoDutyCycle wakes for 9.2 ms every duty cycle interval to sniff for a preamble, then the

Hi Claude! For those new to FreeRTOS; why use FreeRTOS?

Why Use FreeRTOS?

FreeRTOS is a popular real-time operating system kernel for embedded systems. Here's why developers choose it:

Real-Time Task Management Without an RTOS, embedded code typically runs as one big loop, making it hard to guarantee when critical tasks execute. FreeRTOS lets you define tasks with priorities, ensuring time-critical work (e.g., reading a sensor, responding to an interrupt) always runs on time.

Using Wyze API Credentials for Docker Wyze-Bridge

Overview

The API_ID is required alongside API_KEY to authenticate with the Wyze API and bypass two-factor authentication (2FA). As of April 2024, Wyze deprecated 2FA login methods, making API Key/ID the recommended authentication method for WyzeBridge.

Purpose

Using API_ID and API_KEY eliminates the need for email/password login and avoids 2FA prompts.

**“ESP-NOW does not roam or follow WiFi channel changes. Both ESP32 boards must stay on the same fixed WiFi channel. If your router or AP is set to ‘Auto’, it may change channels and break ESP-NOW completely.

Best solution: Log into the router → lock 2.4 GHz to a fixed channel (1, 6, or 11). That keeps ESP-NOW stable with zero code changes.

ESP-NOW doesn’t provide an API to detect channel switches or auto-rescan. If the channel changes, the ESP32 won’t magically adapt — it just stops linking. So the reliable approach is: fix the WiFi channel at the router and let ESP-NOW run normally.”**

Here’s a clear, detailed, step-by-step explanation of Raspberry Pi Kiosk Mode — what it is, how it works, and how to set it up for different use cases (browser kiosk, local app kiosk, fullscreen dashboard, etc.). --ChatGPT

🖥️ What Is Raspberry Pi Kiosk Mode?

Kiosk Mode makes a Raspberry Pi boot straight into a single application (usually a full-screen web browser) with:
