Getting WFI Working on TF3xx with ESP Module

[terriblefire]

Agreed... Sounds like you are still in programming mode. I purchased a dedicated programmer thingy that can switch modes but you need to power cycle the ESP after programming it and put it out of programming mode.

I think I have a problem with the 0x00000.bin file on https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_slip_ ... r/firmware
im using esptool.py on linux, and Im getting "address overlap error" with 0x10000
and "image file at 0x0 doesnt look like an image file, so not changing any flash settings"

Is someone able to compile and attach the two bin files? Or one big .bin file that I can try flashing, please?

I have spent hour upon hours on this now

How did you download it? You cant right click and download.. CLone the repo.

[matt020]

Errr, thats exactly what I did.... right click, save as.....

I'll try cloning the repo...

Ok, wow, espytool flashed with no errors. Good result.

But still no dice when trying to telnet to 192.168.240.1 7777
Can ping 192.168.240.2 and get a reply, but nothing when i ping 192.168.240.1

You've not answered my question about light flashing and power up. If that doesnt happen its not working.

[matt020]

Oh ok, on power up, the TTL-USB programmer gives a couple of flickers of a green light, the ESP module gives a flicker of blue light. And that is it.
Is the light meant to be on when powered up?

thats whats supposed to happen. Now put the USB adapter in the PC, open putty or whatever with 115200 baud and then plug the ESP in live.. see what you get.

Ive got it working.

Ive had to use NodeMCU in Windows for the flashing, although esptool gave no errors and indicated the flash worked, i just could not telnet into it. However flashing with NodeMCU *using the correct bin's downloaded the correct way as suggested by Terriblefire* has worked.

I am now telnet'd into the device (within linux) and Im setting it up!

Thanks for your patience, Stephen, it has been very much appreciated

After spending a long evening on this yesterday I finally got it working. I'm going to write up a guide. I'll share it here.

one thing; the below line isn't needed with Roadshow (v1.12 at least) and causes an error. It still works, but should be removed

Code: Select all

echo >>Devs:NetInterfaces/Slip "interface=Slip"

Compare with the other examples in NetInterfaces; they don't have the "interface=" line.
