I am interested in purchasing a Pmod ESP32 for a project for my work. We have an arduino located in a remote and very extreme environment collecting sensor data. We are then transmitting this data to a host computer nearby, about 100 feet away. The data stream is very simple bit information, however we need to transmit a long distance and through various metal machinery. For this reason we need a class 1 bluetooth classic transmitter. We are currently using a sparkfun Bluesmirf Gold, however these have been discontinued and we need a replacement. The Pmod ESP32 looks promising, and I did see the ESPWROOM32 chip is capable of class 1 BT classic. My question is does the Pmod come out of the box setup for class 1 protocol, or is there additional hardware needed to achieve this? For reference we are using UART to communicate between the Arduino and the transmitter.
