Wireless Modules

Justification

Robust, wireless communication between multiple PCB boards decreased design constraints and wiring, allowing for much more modular and adjustable designs capable. This would allow for mobility, ease of communication, reduced clutter, and scalability.

ESP32 Built-In

Connections

UART Communication

• Hook up

Examples

ESP32-C3-MINI-1-N4

* ESP32 Chip adjusted specifically for the sole purpose of wireless communication.
* Interfaced with using UART
* 

Pros and Cons

Pros

Allows for convenient, easy to mount access to wireless communication. 
Easy to interface with, using UART in order to communicate data.

Bluetooth Modules

Component Selection

CYM4343W

 Contains both Bluetooth as well as Wifi protocols
 Uses UART for Bluetooth 
 Uses SDIO for wifi communication

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Simple implementation with supported Code

Cons

• Separate PCB Board interfaced with

TODO

Look into the specific components of the Bluetooth modules to find ICS that can be easily used and interfaced with.
