Esp8266 Developer Tool

Esp8266 Developer Tool Is an electron app that help you develop code for esp8266 modules.
Built to allow simple development for simple api applications for esp8266 or any other controller that can support wireless communication.

The app are follows the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid)

install

Download here from github releases.

OR

Go to /app/ dir, open terminal and run with npm

npm i
npm start

compile the code from /skeleton_code/ dir and upload it to your Esp8266, I recommend using the Arduino IDE to compile and upload.

usage

connect

Enter your local Esp8266 address (IP: port) You can use the keyboard Numpad and arrows to input the address. Or jest skip if you dont have esp8266 that run the code.

how to use

Opening Page and menu

After skip connecting, your enters the menu and have the following options :

Debug panel :

You have 7 functions on the debug panel:

• send: send a string to the esp8266 and print result.
• auto scroll: scroll automatically to the end of the log.
• edit macros: give you the option to edit macros.
• five macros buttons: macro is a const string that you can reuse instead of retyping every time.
• clear : clear dialogue from screen.
• logfile : save the log file of your esp8266 communication.
• exit : disconnect esp8266.

Log explorerr panel

You have 2 functions on the log explorerr after open log-file:

• show: Show all log data.
• auto scroll: Show the log statistics.

Create skeleton code panel

You have 1 function on the Create skeleton code mode:

• save: create code template with leter input in table.
  • for input : used for api.
  • retrun: return string for the input that type in "for".
  • settings: used for set ssid, wifi password, port and file name.

After load

After loading the code you can connect with the address and port and start debugging, without a connection you will not be able to enter the debug panel.

Screenshots from the app

now you can use the control panel to test your esp8266
