Newbie Mesh
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2018 11:17 pm
Hi guys, new to Mesh but years with ESPs (Arduino and esp-idf, ESP8266 and ESP32).
One general question regarding ESP32 mesh network that after reading a lot still can not seem to grasp completely(typical newbie ). Can we communicate, and how, between different nodes-leaves or "everything" has to go to the Root that will send the "message to the external world"? In other words, mesh is just an AP "range extension" for far away nodes.
I would hope the Root node be the AP, sort of directing "traffic", from Node A to External World, from Node A to Leaf F, from Leaf F to Root(not external world), etc.
Regards,
RSN
