#95038 We are working on a project that needs communication between ESP8266s. We used ESPNOW to send MAC addresses between our ESPs. Our goal is to share this and give others a simple and easy way to use ESPNOW on the ESP8266. We look forward to reading your comments on this topic.
Code: Select all/*
Super Simple Minimalist Easy ESPNOW
 
This is an easy way to communicate between ESP8266s.
 
*no error checking
*no encryption
*broadcast only
*unlimited number of transceivers
*Six bits+Five bytes of sender id and/or payload(two low order bits of first byte are reserved)
*250 bytes of optional payload
