Indian Sites for Electronics DIY Tinkerers/Makers to Shop for Tools and Components

I ordered amp and mosfet from inkocean.in

The amp was shipped immediately and delivered. But the mosfet is going to be shipped later after order from china. This was not communicated to me.

But I knew this happens. So, expect long delivery date if part is not in stock!

I also ordered 2/3 times from inkocean.in
No issue except long shipping time.
 
I want to buy this for a DiY project...

What I want to do is use this has a wifi dongle connected to my PC and program the display to output the Upload / Download Speeds along with other Wifi info.
Anyone know if this can be done? Sorry if slightly off topic never used an EPS32 device before so this will be my first time using the device. Thanks
 
You can use that to display wifi telemetry, but as an actual wifi dongle, it's going to be unusable on windows as windows doesn't support serial network devices, and yeah, you'd be limited to uart speeds.

Thanks for the info, I seen this so I thought it maybe possible to work has a normal USB wifi dongle because its the same ESP32-S3 chip.

The ESP-Dongle can also be used as a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth network adapter. Users can switch the ESP-Dongle’s working mode to a wireless network card using the button. After plugging the ESP-Dongle into a computer, the computer can be directly connected to the Internet.

It can work - https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp32-pendrive-s3-wifi-dongle

It will act as a usb ethernet and provide internet, to display the upload download speeds you have to edit the firmware. I suppose it's possible.


As @rsaeon mentioned speed will be very slow. Not enough to stream a video.

@The_King A much better alternative can be Raspberry PI Zero 2 W, it will also do the same and will provide higher speeds over USB2.0 connection, but you will have to connect display separately, and send the network speed data to it.

perhaps an old phone with wifi speed app and usb tethering is a cheap and better alternative

The idea is to get an ESP32 device to play around with and learn about these devices.
I don't need it to function has a wifi dongle.

@rsaeon @Heisen Thanks for taking time to help your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Went with the ESP32-C6 instead because its has Wifi 6 and BT.5 so better specs. Thanks all
