Any plan to use RMT for ESP32

[maxdd]

Hello,
as per the title is there any plan to move from SW implementation to HW implementation for ESP32?

Long term, yes. Short term, no.

+1 on RMT support, as we start seeing ESP32 used as IR blasters. Preference for IR sending first (and I hope it's easier to do).

+1 on this. RMT using hardware, and it will run very fast

Building on the work initiated by @tuxBurner, I made a patch using the RMT implementation and Arduino Release v3.0.4.

https://github.com/mrninhvn/IRremoteESP/releases/tag/v2.8.6-rmt

It will need to be tested thoroughly to make sure all protocols work, welcome to try it out (Note: Only Tested with Platformio).

The work has been executed gretly. However, a significant issue arises when switching on RMT and WiFi the microcontroller, particularly the ESP32C6, although it is probable that the same occurs with the ESP32C3, which is also utilised in your. In such instances, the microcontroller either becomes unresponsive or malfunctions.

Maybe this could help
