Dear µController Aficionados!
I need your brainpower to understand, how I could create a simple debugging text output. –
Here is the challenge: I have an ESP32 on my breadboard with a super sensitive sensor. Using the USB cable to power the ESP is impossible (due to EMI), so I am using a battery.
Now the board is powered, but I am loosing my good old Serial Monitor as the USB is not connected anymore.
Here is my challenge: Luckily I am using an ESP32, so there would be alternatives with WiFi or BT/BT LE connectivity. Out of your perspective, what would be the simplest implementation to obtain text status and output messages? I looked at the BT sample and there would be a client and server required. Maybe too much overhead. – Is there something simple I could use?
By the way, display is no option. I need either BT or Wifi.
Any constructive feedback appreciated & enjoy your day!

I finally created status messaging with a BTLE Client and BTLE Server.

Hi.
Alternatively, you can also try something like web serial: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-webserial-library/

Thanks.
When looking for some topic on google try to add “random nerd tutorials” after the search term. If we have something on that topic, it should show up.
If not, you can also ask us directly if we have someting on a specific topic.
