# Get Started Example This example demonstrates how to use the ESP-NOW data to communicate. ## Functionality One device receives data through the serial port and broadcasts it to all nodes through ESP-NOW data. The others will output the data through the serial port when receive the data. ## Hardware Required This example can run on any ESP32 series boards and at least two development boards are required. ## Configuration Open the project configuration menu (`idf.py menuconfig`) to configure the packet retransmission counts and the UART port for data communication using (Refer to Kconfig file). ## Example Output - Output sample from the receiving device: <div align=center> <img src="../../docs/_static/en/device_log.png" width="550"> <p> Packet receiving device log </p> </div> - Output sample from the sending device: <div align=center> <img src="../../docs/_static/en/serial_port.png" width="550"> <p> The log of the sending device </p> </div>
