Unable to use it #7

@markopesevski Did you change any configuration options via |
At first I had changed some out of desperation, but I've just cloned the repo fresh and tried it without changing anything.
I'd prefer using it in Station mode to be able to connect both the ESP and my PC to the same network to retain my internet connection.
Ok, I'll try and get back. Thank you for your time in any case! |

@markopesevski One thing to be aware of is that the station configuration is case sensitive on the AP name. This caught me out when I was enabling this functionality. |
This is my current configuration for the Blackmagic component of the menu: I've made sure the SSID and password are well written (case-sensitive ✔️) and still no good.
If I'm not mistaken the option you mentioned is "Monitor target UART" from the menu in the image above, right? |
|
@markopesevski Yes, that's the option I added. If it's disabled then the code should continue to use the ESP UART for debugging. Hopefully in that state you'll get something more useful out of the debug log. |
No luck... I'm still getting the same. Must be something wrong with my module, or something I'm not doing quite right. But it'd seem weird for the module to be bad, since the one I'm trying it on now is a new one I just took out of the bag it came in when I bought it 😅. I've also tried erasing its flash with |
|
If you change your monitor to look at the UART at 115200, which I think is the default in the monitoring configuration, do you get additional output? I may have left in the baud rate change even when the targeting is turned off (bad on me). |
|
Maybe the module is with 512KB flash ? IIRC the ones with 512KB will not work correctly. |
Didn't do anything new... Garbled characters while the ESP is booting, and nothing useful after.
I don't know for sure, but So I think they are 4MB, but the modules came from China so anything and everything is to be expected. These are the concrete ones I bought. The modules themselves seem fine because I can upload other code, i.e. a blink sketch from Arduino, and the LED blinks correctly. Maybe I have to change the addresses at which the binaries are loaded? 🤷♂️ |
|
Could you try building the AP version instead of STA and try flashing that? |
I had already done it, but just rebuilt the AP version to try again. This is my config now: On my part I'm suspicious of my Partition Table config and/or the addresses where the binaries get loaded, as I mentioned before. I haven't touched it so it should be correct, but... 🤷♂️ Right now my partition table config looks like this: Don't know what else could be wrong. This is my repo diff. $ git diff

I've just flashed a random ESP8266 module with micro usb laying around with a fresh clone, seems to work fine, appears in wifi networks list. in |

Hey @walmis and @benvonhandorf, thanks again. I'm trying to figure out what's going on so it doesn't compile correctly, so I'll post when I find a solution. [edit] solved by installing python2. Now it flashes and appears as an AP correctly. I haven't tried but I'm guessing station mode will work also. So, lesson learned. |
[edit, solved] my issue was not having python2 installed. Somehow
makecompiles even though it was throwing an error during compilation of the bootloader.Hi there, I've been trying to use this port to no avail.Things I've done:
makeends with:make flash, which goes something like:Which, to my understanding, indicates that the ESP is in a reset loop.
Any help is appreciated. This project is a great idea but I can't make it work and don't know what I'm doing wrong 😭
