Hello!
I wanted to get someone else to weigh in:
I’m building a handheld device using Qwiic endpoints, (connections are 100ft) and am stumped on how to easily transition from a long wire to wireless.
Reducing hardware changes and code complexity are my biggest considerations: Does anyone have any recommendations?
What kind of devices are you connecting ? Do both support Bluetooth ?
I mean, I could use a blueSMIRF Or something. (Am I dating myself? Does it work point-to-point?) But that would also mean changing everything from i2c to uart. I haven’t looked into that before.
I’m also using a mux for multiple i2c busses because of addressing limitations on the host to have a lot of (subscribers?) On the bus. And then each bus is physically separated over the Qwiic Endpoint’s long wire. I don’t see how I’d set up 8 bluetooth radios to reliably connect easily and consistently like I can with just wiring with endpoints.
I hope that was descriptive and answered your question! I am open to using bluetooth, but I’m not familiar with how to easily transition from the Qwiic Endpoints to Bluetooth. If there’s some perfect module out there for my use case, let me know! Thanks!
