### Using ESP-NOW
[ESP-NOW](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32/api-reference/network/esp_now.html) is a low level wireless communication protocol. It can provide lower latency, better reliability, and longer range than Wi-Fi. However, it requires a second ESP32 board to be used as a proxy for the computer.
<img src="img/espnow-connection.jpg" width="600">
To setup ESP-NOW communication:
1. Flash the second ESP32 board with ESP-NOW proxy sketch: [`tools/espnow-proxy/espnow-proxy.ino`](../tools/espnow-proxy/espnow-proxy.ino). Use Arduino IDE or command line: `make upload_proxy`.
2. Open Serial Monitor or use `make monitor` command. The ESP32 will print its MAC address and generated encryption key, for example:
```
espnow 7a:c8:e3:eb:bf:e9 &PiuSysxP9+$L&5E
```
Run this line as a console command on each drone you want to bind to this proxy board. [The maximum number](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/e95cab4be8fd293e3f3323181e7a2280874da6f7/components/esp_wifi/include/esp_now.h#L32-L33) of simultaneously connected drones is 20 (unencrypted) io 6 (encrypted).
3. Set the `WIFI_MODE` parameter to `3` on the drone:
```
p WIFI_MODE 3
```
4. Go to the QGroundControl menu ⇒ *Application Settings* ⇒ *Comm Links*, add new link with the following settings:
* Name: ESP32.
* Type: Serial.
* Serial Port: choose the port of the proxy ESP32 board, e. g. `/dev/cu.usbserial-0001`.
* Baud Rate: 115200.
5. Click *Save*. QGroundControl should connect to the drone using ESP-NOW and begin showing the telemetry.
