Does any esp8266 module work, or does it have to be the ESP01 type board?

I have a couple spare wemos D1 mini pro clones laying around from other projects.

The header is for the ESP01... given they cost $2 I’d just get another one

Yeah I probably will. It'll just take 2 months to get here.

I'll give the wemos a go in the meantime and see if it works.

Caveat is that it wipes your current settings clean and uses 8.8.8.8 for DNS resolution. You can update that if needed.

literally unzip the zip file and type "Execute install_script" at a cli.

Your install_script worked perfectly.
Only thing I had to change was:

From:

Code: Select all

echo >>envarc:Sana2/slip0.config "serial.device 0 38400 192.168.240.2"

To:

Code: Select all

echo >>envarc:Sana2/slip0.config "serial.device 0 115200 192.168.240.2"

Thanks! :D

Omg! i been trying to get mine going for little over a week now and i thought i had everything correct until, i saw this post about editing the script from 38400 to 115200 and i thought got nothing to lose at this point and it worked for me also, thanks so much for posting this info i never would have thought to change that :)

Just got a TF330 and ESP module.
Followed the YouTube video from 32Bits and this great thread.
Could not get the thing to connect. No errors during set up. Fiddled for a couple of days. No joy.

Turned out my ESP01 is a 1MB version and all I needed to do was change the flashing command in the set up video to 1MB from 8MB. So simple, however my assumption that all the ESP01 modules were the same was my undoing.

Thanks for that. I wonder if there is a simple way to detect.

Hi Stephen, not sure if sarcasm because I missed something obvious?
Seems some are marketed as 8MB (I guess megabit?) and some as 1MB (megabyte?) So I presume same size flash mem.
I checked for an 8 megabyte version but didn't see one.

Mine has a blue led, whereas the one in 32Bit video is red - I know, not a very technical approach ;)
The Flash chip on mine is labelled T25S80 XM20d2 PPA489.

No sarcasm. I've had a few people struggle. Just wondering if there is an easy way to check this.

Ok :)

Unsure, seems that command esptool.py flash_id could interrogate the chip and report the flash size https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... d-flash-id .

edit.
Just tested on my device with the programmer in "prog" mode esptool.py flash_id spits out the flash size as 1MB and manufacturer details.

Good Evening everyone

Got my ESP flashed, programmed, verified using the show command and plugged into my CD32
Run the install script and checked driver and scripts are all in place

I'm trying to configure MiamiDX as I have a licensed copy but there are so many options I'm really struggling.
Prism wireless is easy lol.

Has anyone got it working with MiamiDx, if so please be kind and share the details.

Cheers


Update..... sussed it, heres the details

Create a point to point interface using the slip.device driver
Create hardware profile using above ptp interface and set static ip to 192.168.240.2 and Gateway to 192.168.240.1
Create DNS entry 8.8.8.8 in Database.

Thats it :)
