JML, I have tried to go through the tutorial that you highlighted for [quote="J-M-L, post:4, topic:1223337"]
ESP NOW ➜ Getting Started with ESP-NOW (ESP32 with Arduino IDE) | Random Nerd Tutorials
[/quote]

Only to fall at the first hurdle. The reciever sketch fails to compile with the following error which I don't understand:

error: invalid conversion from 'void ()(const uint8_t, const uint8_t*, int)' {aka 'void ()(const unsigned char, const unsigned char*, int)'} to 'esp_now_recv_cb_t' {aka 'void ()(const esp_now_recv_info, const unsigned char*, int)'} [-fpermissive]
58 | esp_now_register_recv_cb(OnDataRecv);

Any advice would be welcome. Before I can start digging into it and find out how to use it I need the example to work.

The reciever sketch is below,
