I figured out a simple way to (I think?) expand the number of nodes on an ESP-NOW mesh network past the supposed maximum of 20 by simply not keeping peers around. Instead, I add a peer, send a message, remove the peer. You can still receive messages from peers when they aren't added, and even if you couldn't you get acks and you could delete the peer on the ack and just poll using a request/response cycle like HTTP.

It's too simple of a hack for too much of a win. Simple enough that it makes me wonder why they designed it the way they did (to keep a peer list) instead of just doing it like the above and essentially keeping no list, with everything stateless. You don't need the peer list, you just need a list of mac addresses and you can keep that in a std::map or even a std::vector if you need it (you can avoid that even because the nodes can broadcast their macs and you can pick them out of the air)

I don't know if I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, or if I have the appropriate amount of skepticism about my approach.

I wonder if it's a general issue when I code. Maybe I should just take my wins as I find them.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
