ESP32 TSN Kit: Master Precision Time Protocol & Deterministic Latency
Master Deterministic Networking: TSN Demo Kit for ESP32 with PTP Clock Sync
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This advanced two-node ESP32 network lets you dive deep into industrial-grade time-sensitive networking. You will synchronise two ESP32 clocks using the Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588) and schedule LED transmissions to prove deterministic, microsecond-level latency-exactly how smart factories and 5G networks ensure real-time control.
What You'll Build
A fully functional TSN demonstration with two ESP32 boards acting as master and slave nodes. The synchronized clocks drive precisely timed LED patterns visible on the OLED displays, showing how scheduled transmissions eliminate jitter and guarantee latency. By the end, you will have a hardwired proof-of-concept for deterministic networking suitable for contest presentations and lab evaluations.
What You'll Learn
- Implement Precision Time Protocol on ESP32 microcontrollers with DS3231 RTC timestamping
- Configure hardware clocks and exchange PTP Sync, Follow_Up, and Delay_Req messages
- Program deterministic message scheduling using ESP-NOW with microsecond accuracy
- Analyse latency, jitter, and clock drift on a real two-node network via OLED readouts
