I took on a little sidequest from working on the schematic of the flight controller. I plan to use a set of nrf24l01’s as the radio, since I already have them. Therefore, I wanted to test them before putting it on the schematic. I hooked one up to a brand new esp32-s3, and the other to an esp32-wroom1.
The process of sending data between each one was relatively straightforward, thanks to a helpful instructable I found. However, I did get some issues with the default SPI pins with the s3, but that got sorted out after some pin switching. Eventually I got the two devices to remotely talk to each other and was overjoyed.

Also somewhere in between all of that, I realized I ran out of male to female jumper wires so that sucks :(
