The second shipment of WiCAN PRO was delivered to Mouser last week and orders will begin shipping soon! Please note that orders placed in May are not included in this shipment, those additional quantities are currently being manufactured.

Firmware Update

A new firmware release is now available, addressing several bugs. If you haven’t updated yet, please upgrade to the latest version:

Upcoming Features

Work is ongoing to implement SD card logging. Currently, SQL insert operations are functional and a WebSocket interface has been developed. However, the biggest challenge lies in the limitations and bugs of the sqlite3 ESP32 library, specifically, the 50-record query cap and generally poor performance. To address this, I’m considering two alternative approaches: allowing the browser to fetch the database file and process it locally or switching to FlashDB instead of sqlite3, which is expected to offer significantly better performance but does not have the cool features of sqlite3.
