Hi there,
I am creating an outdoor instillation using pressure sensors connected to ESP32, where the serial port inputs are run through a Serial DAT code to play Audio files in TouchDesigner. Right now, my ESP32 is connected to my laptop via USB-A for prototyping, but I’d like the laptop to be invisible for actual instillation (ex. a few meters away).
How might I send data between the two? I heard Ethernet is very reliable, but the physical wire makes me wonder if I can’t just get a really long USB to UART cable? I don’t think using Wi-Fi will be worth it since it’ll be an outdoor instillation, and TouchDesigner doesn’t need WiFi for the logic to run.
