In the LW4 connection options (MACHINE CONNECTION), it shows ESP8266 as one of the options.
I would like to utilize ESP8266-01 to connect to my laser engraver via WiFi (because, otherwise, there are too many wires around and I am getting to inhale too much smoke ;) )
In my case, I can see that ESP8266 with the ino sketch inside boots and connects to my WiFi network, I am also able to ping its IP address. However, when I open LW4 and select
MACHINE CONNECTION: ESP8266
MACHINE IP: 192.168.1.74
(which is the ESP8266 address)
and press CONNECT, I am getting the following output:
Connecting Machine @ ESP8266,192.168.1.74
Server error: unexpected server response (404)
Machine disconnected
Machine disconnected
Am I doing it right, is it possible at all? Has anybody managed to connect remotely, what did you use?
Thanks so much
PS: My machine is controlled by Arduino UNO with a stepper driver shield with the latest GRBL

This connection was just a test and needed a special firmware on the ESP8266. Unfortunately it never worked reliable, because WLAN connection was not stable and fast enough.
Thank you, you are awesome! 👍
I already have a Raspberry Pi Zero W which streams video to LW4, and it works great. I'll be looking into adding another one for the connectivity.
Warm Regards

I tried following the instructions for LW3 here
