_Deploying and leveraging compute Everywhere_ # "Internet of Things" for Everyone ESP32 based Mesh Stations have low cost and wide support. [esp32\_datasheet\_en.pdf](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/short-url/krYxkiZ54fsICNDqdIIEmz4JpKl.pdf) (1009.6 KB) Mesh Compute Station (also referred to as "Mesh Station" or just "MS") provide UBIQUITOUS compute power to the environment. ![computestation](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/3/37321a3bd6d847745a37007e351a87007e08823c.png) Some reference implementations of a Basic Mesh Station: - [MS24a](https://discuss.88.io/t/mesh-station-24-2/1168) Soldered Headers: no Battery Connector: yes Recommended for working alone - [MS24b](https://discuss.88.io/t/mesh-station-24-1/1166) Soldered Headers: yes Battery Connector: no Recommended for adding peripherials As part of the [Citizen Startup](https://citizenstartup.com) program, we are shipping free Basic Mesh Stations to the first few requests from all [government regions](https://discuss.88.io/t/area-entity/526/3) worldwide. Personal Console Controllers are low-cost and diverse computing devices that can be deployed ubiquitously by an individual in many different situations, unlike traditional "[internet of things](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_things)" deployments that are centrally owned and operated, Personal Console Controller are owned and operated INDEPENDENTLY by individual citizens through the Personal Console software on their phones. ![separate1](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e5dd149c3c445ee80292bb9f21b5e84645b87b74.png) From the comfort of their phones, citizens have full control of the physical world by distributing controllers in required locations or carrying controllers with them, individuals can decide what data from their controllers are shared with who and how their controllers make impact on the environment they are in. ![console](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a225f41bc647b36be2275bfd4c9f8fc49154a31a.png) Like all other Private Cyberspace components, the focus of Personal Console Controller is to remove the Cost and Skill barriers in benefiting from technology. Personal Console Controllers give your Private Cyberspace sensors and actuators at revolutionary price points and ease of use by combining free yet featureful software (e.g. ESPHome) with low cost yet powerful hardware (e.g. ESP32): > **[ESP32 Platform](https://esphome.io/components/esp32/)** > > Configuration for the ESP32 platform for ESPHome. ## Personal Console Controller Positioning [ESPHome](https://esphome.io/) is the default firmware that Personal Console Controller use, other firmwares like [Meshtastic](https://meshtastic.org/) can also be used. ESPHome supports [large number of devices](https://esphome.io/devices), each year we select one as our Personal Console Controller reference implementation. All Reference implementations are supported worldwide indefinitely (even if they are no longer being manufactured) and can participate in our buy back scheme so some one else can benefit from them. ESP32 Notes: 1. There are many [ESP32 modules](https://www.ineltek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Espressif-Ineltek-Modules-Comparison.pdf) if you are starting out stick to the ones that have already been used by other members. 2. ESP32's low cost means it only has a single 2.4G radio shred between wifi and bluetooth, since we need to operate both at the same time, [we need to be aware of some limitations](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/coexist.html). # Antenna Pattern When placing esp32 devices (which normally has a printed meandered inverted-F antenna on the circuit board). For the strongest possible radio signals, it is important to orient them properly. ![esp32](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/e/eee9db4d9667b03e7cc4684b590f8754dde436c2.png) source: [katerina & robert](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX3l0iRxi8c) The operation of devices at radio frequencies can be affected by the slightest change in device design and the environment but in general the following placement rule apply to most esp32 devices with printed antenna on the same board. Assuming you have the printed antenna directly in front of you and we call that the Front of the antenna # Processors | Feature | ESP32-C3 | ESP32 | | --- | --- | --- | | Processor | Single-core RISC-V (160 MHz) | Dual-core Xtensa LX6 (240 MHz) | | Bluetooth | 5.0 | 4.2 | | Peripherals | Limited | Extensive (e.g. camera interface, touch sensors, DACs) | | Security | Extensive (e.g. HMAC, digital signature) | Limited | | Cost | Lower | Higher | # References - [http://esp32.net/](http://esp32.net/) ---

# Personal Console Controller Processors Currently the following processors are supported by ESPHome (and thus Personal Console Controller): - ESP32 and ESP8266 e.g. NodeMCU - RP2040 e.g. Raspberry Pi Pico WH ### 1. ESP32 There are a large number of ultra low cost wifi devices built around the esp8266 and esp32 (e.g. [NodeMCUs](https://www.nodemcu.com/)) chips, making them ideal as Personal Console Controllers. Both [ESP8266](https://www.esp8266.com) and [ESP32](https://esp32.com) are from [Espressif](https://www.espressif.com/). There are many different esp8266 and esp32 types, below is just a rough comparison between the 2 families. | | ESP8266 | ESP32 | ESP32-S2 | ESP32-S3 | ESP32-C3 | ESP32-C6 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Announcement Date | 2014, August | 2016, September | 2019, September | 2020, December | 2020, November | 2021, April | | Main processor | Tensilica L106 32-bit (up to 160MHz) | Tensilica Xtensa 32-bit LX6 (up to 240MHz) (dual core) | Tensilica Xtensa 32-bit LX7 (up to 240MHz) | Tensilica Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual core (up to 240MHz) | RISC-V 32-bit (up to 160MHz) | RISC-V 32-bit (up to 160MHz) | | SRAM | 160KB | 520KB | 320KB | 512KB | 400KB | 400KB | | ROM | 200KB | 448KB | 128KB | 384KB | 384KB | 384KB | | JTAG | X | ✓ | ✓ | ? | ✓ | ✓ | | Cache | 32 KB instruction | 64KB | 8/16KB (configurable) | ? | 16KB | ? | | WiFi | Wi-Fi 4 (only up to 72.2Mbps) | Wi-Fi 4 | Wi-Fi 4 | Wi-Fi 4 | Wi-Fi 4 | Wi-Fi 6 | | Bluetooth | X | BLE 4.2 (upgrade to 5.0, with limitations) | X | BLE 5.0 | BLE 5.0 | BLE 5.0 | | Ethernet | X | ✓ | X | ? | X | ? | | RTC memory | 768B | 16KB | 16KB | 16KB | 8KB | ? | | PMU | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ? | ✓ | ? | | ULP coprocessor | X | ✓ | ULP-RISC-V | ? | X | ? | | Cryptographic Accelerator | X | SHA, RSA, AES, RNG | SHA, RSA, AES, RNG, HMAC, Digital Signature | SHA, RSA, AES, RNG, HMAC, Digital Signature | SHA, RSA, AES, RNG, HMAC, Digital Signature | SHA, RSA, AES, RNG, HMAC, Digital Signature | | Secure boot | X | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Flash encryption | X | ✓ | XTS-AES-128/256 | ✓ | XTS-AES-128 | XTS-AES-128 | | SPI | 2 | 4 | 4 | ? | 3 | ? | | I2C | 1 | 2 | 2 | ? | 1 | ? | | I2S | 1 | 2 | 1 | ? | 1 | ? | | UART | 2 (one TX only) | 3 | 2 | ? | 2 | ? | | SDIO Host | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | | SDIO Slave | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | GPIO | 17 | 34 | 43 | 44 | 22 | 22 | | LED PWM | 5 | 16 | 8 | ? | 6 | ? | | MCPWM | 0 | 6 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | | Pulse counter | 0 | 8 | 4 | ? | 0 | X | | GDMA\* | 0 | 0 | 0 | ? | 6 | ? | | USB | X | X | USB OTG 1.1 | ? | Serial/JTAG | ? | | TWAI | 0 | 1 | 1 | ? | 1 | ? | | ADC | 1x 10-bit SAR | 2x 12-bit SAR, up to 18 channels | 2x 13-bit SAR, up to 20 channels | ? | 2x 12-bit SAR, up to 6 channels | ? | | DAC | X | 2x 8-bit | 2x 8-bit | ? | X | X | | RMT | 1x transmission + 1x reception | 8x transmission/reception | 4x transmission/reception | ? | 2x transmission + 2x reception | ? | | Timer | 2x 23-bit | 4x 64-bit | 4x 64-bit | ? | 2x 54-bit + 1x 52-bit | ? | | Temperature Sensor | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ? | ✓ | ? | | Hall Sensor | X | ✓ | X | ? | X | ? | | Touch Sensor | 0 | 10 | 14 | ? | X | ? | reference:[sekcompsci](https://gist.github.com/sekcompsci/2bf39e715d5fe47579fa184fa819f421) If price and supply are no concern then esp32 is preferred over esp8266 and esp32-c3. 1. [ESP Modules | Espressif Systems](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/modules) 2. [ESP32 Change CPU Speed (Clock Frequency) – DeepBlue](https://deepbluembedded.com/esp32-change-cpu-speed-clock-frequency) 3. [https://www.oryx-embedded.com/benchmark/espressif/crypto-esp32.html](https://www.oryx-embedded.com/benchmark/espressif/crypto-esp32.html) Note Espressif plans to move to [using RISC-V cores exclusively](https://www.eenewseurope.com/en/espressif-moves-exclusively-to-risc-v/) in the future, so the current [Tensilica Xtensa](https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/tools/ip/tensilica-ip/tensilica-xtensa-controllers-and-extensible-processors.html) core based ESP8266 and ESP32 may not be available in the long term. Currently (2024-07-01) esp32-c3 is still NOT mature enough, so esp32 is still preferred. ### 2. RP2040 RP2040 based system is under trial as a WiFi Controller using the [Raspberry Pi Pico](https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-pico). Only the **Raspberry Pi Pico WH** version (with WiFi and Header) is currently supported.

# Innovation Kickstarter To kickstart the Hardware Innovation in the community, we are giving out a limited number of movement kits (each with a breadboard, 6 wires and a sensor) for FREE to anyone who promise they will assemble it when they purchase either the PCC2 or PCC3. 1. Gain insight into your environment e.g. who has being visiting your home and at what time ? Just hook the movement kit up to a PCC2 and point it to your front door. Any movements will trigger a photo to be taken and sent to your email. 2. Gain insight into yourself e.g. how many minutes on average you spent in the bathroom ? Just hook the kit up to a PCC3 and all movements in the bathroom are tracked. Privacy is assured as there is NO camera on the PCC3. **This kit is just a START!** Keep adding more devices e.g. an ears (microphone), a mouth (speaker), a skin (temperature, humitidy sensor) etc. Unlike [the Cloud](https://cloudbottleneck.com) solutions YOU OWN it, you control its action and its data, you benefit fully from it. ## Small Breadboard Most breadboard are large in size, we have sourced small breadboards with only 55 holes. Their small size makes them the perfect companion to the small Personal Console Controllers. ![breadboard](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e7dc1006ab35b7b65636ff29419ebbb6b0add543.png) Model: ZY-55 Body: ABS plastic body - aluminium support plate complete with rubber feet Colours: Black, Blue, Green, Mustard, Red, Yellow, White Number of contacts: 55 (5 contacts for 11 files) Contact pitch: 2.54 mm Wire diameter: 21-26 AWG 0.4-0.7mm in diameter Admissible power: 6W Flow rate: 1A Contact resistance: 10mΩ Contact type: Phosphor bronze contacts with nickel plating, for 50.000 insertions tested 36V @ 2A Operating temperature: -40 ° C ~ 125°C Dimensions: 20 x 15 x 12mm ## Male to Female Wires ![jumperwire](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/b/bc6469bebb5d54e92d7fef63943e12335c48fbdd.png) ## Passive Infrared Sensor ---
