ESP32-S3 Dual-Core Controller

Model:Espressif ESP32-S3 Dual-Core

Primary Function

Handles drive motor mixing, the FPV camera gimbal, and the ESP-NOW command relay simultaneously.

Selection Rationale

Dual-core lets the command relay run on its own core so a busy WiFi stack never delays a driver's steering input.

Packet Loss Beyond 100m

PROBLEM:Command latency spiked noticeably once the rover moved beyond roughly 100m line-of-sight from the pit bench antenna.

TEST:Logged packet round-trip time at 20m intervals out to 200m in an open field test.

ENGINEERING CHANGE:Switched to a dual-RF relay that takes the freshest packet from either of two independent 2.4GHz links.

✓ RESULT: Effective range extended to 150m with no perceptible control lag.
