I am working on a new project that will provide me a mobile www server with an ESP8266-07 and SD card.
Here as a link to the topic with an SD card project:
http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=3558

I have already managed to set up my own website on the SD card, but I'm having hard time with that AP mode... I don’t want to use a standard rougher as an AP. The idea is that an ESP8266-07 will provide its own WI-FI so I can connect to it from any device and browse the web from the SD card. Is there anyone who can help me with that project?

Many thx
Jakub

Ok, I have spent last two nights trying to solve my own problem and I think I managed to do so.
I have ESP-07+SD running AP Mode with captive protocol. So now i can set up my own web server on the go.

Is there anyone interested in that, pls let me know so I will try to describe my setup and the Arduino Code

Settings in IDE

Module: Generic ESP8266 Module
Flash Size: 512K (64K SPIFFS)
CPU Frequency: 80Mhz
Flash Mode: DIO
Flash Frequency: 40Mhz
Upload Using: SERIAL
Reset Method: ck


Sketch

#include <SPI.h>
#include <SD.h>

Sd2Card card;
SdVolume volume;
SdFile root;
const int chipSelect = 16;

void setup() {
if (!card.init (SPI_HALF_SPEED, chipSelect)) {
Serial.print ("Initialization failed.\n");
} else {
Serial.print ("Initialization ok.\n");
}
}

void loop() {
//
}


Connecting

GPIO-13 - SD / MOSI
GPIO-12 - SD / MISO
GPIO-14 - SD / SCLK
GPIO-16 - SD / CS


Arduino IDE 1.6.8
esp8266 library v2.3.0

you are connecting this way?
my sketch is correct?

- Sun Sep 11, 2016 3:27 am #54855 Hi, this worked for me on the ESP8266-12. I later used GPIO15 (with a pulldown resistor) as CS to free up a GPIO.

  SD card file dump

 This example shows how to read a file from the SD card using the
 SD library and send it over the serial port.

 The circuit:
 * SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
 ** MOSI - pin 11
 ** MISO - pin 12
 ** CLK - pin 13
 ** CS - pin 5 // changed from original sketch.
