Hey! I’ve worked with ESP-NOW in a few projects, and you can typically link up to 20 devices to one receiver. Just a heads up, though: as you add more devices, you might run into some interference or data traffic issues, so keeping an eye on how everything performs is a good idea.

It sounds like you're having some discomfort with your ESP32 web server. While frameworks like Vue or Node.js can enhance your project, the ESP32 has limited resources, so running an entire Node.js server might not be feasible due to its memory constraints. However, you can consider using Vue.js for...

Ok, by what I just read, you can have 5-10v on the 5-volt pin. But you can have only 5 volts connect to your chip while it is connected to your computer or you will damage the chip and possibly your computer. I got a 12-24 volt buck converter that steps down the output to only 5 volts to run only my...

I'm not sure what you mean by "Are you powering the ESP32 through the 3.3V generated by that Cp2104 chip, perhaps?".
I am using the USB cable.

I am powering it from the USB cable and I have not put any pins on them, so there is no solder shorting anything. None of the circuit pathways are exposed and none of the components are close to each other, so no cross soldering is done there either.

I just got 2 new ESP32 with a SIL2104 chipset. My computer is running Windows 10 (The latest updates installed). I have downloaded the drivers for the com port and when I go into the device manager it shows I have 2 com ports, COM 10 used by who knows what, and "Silicon Labs CP210X USB to UART Bridg...
