ESP8266 Community Forum

- Mon Dec 08, 2014 11:30 am #4291 Thanks - at long last a version one can try out without having to learn a whole load of new stuff - much appreciated.

Hi there - I noted the compiled files - one to blow at 0, another to blow at 0x40000 - but where do you put the last file and how??

The third going to 0x12000

- Mon Dec 08, 2014 11:58 am #4293 There's a function I'd really like to have in the ESP, and I think it would help makers that are not capable of writing their own C code:
The ability to mirror a port pin to that of another ESP8266.

The GUI can already be used to connect one (or more) ESP in station mode to another one in AP mode.
So my suggestion is to add the functionality and the webpage to configure single GPIOs as input or output on the server, and then on the client, connect single GPIOs to that of the server.
So an input of the server would becomes an output of the client, and vice versa. Maybe even with the possibility to map the ADC input to a PWM output on the peer.
The firmware should then exchange the values of the ports in configurable intervals, and/or when the state of an input changes (by polling it, or using the interrupt).

With this functionality, makers could use ESPs as a simple, transparent wireless replacement for wired connections, and tailor it to their needs without writing a single line of code.

Is this understandable/doable?

I loaded the 3 files onto my ESP-03 module - which had already been connected to the web..

0x00000
0x40000
0x12000

When I go to the iP address, On a mobile phone - it works - but on a desktop browser (Chrome or Firefox).... if after a while I cancel the load on the browser - the text is there - all working - but no imagery/colours etc...

I'll let u know the problem. I've recompiled webpages before uploading yesterday.
Let me test on my ESP. I'll come back to you soon.
Meanwhile it'll be good if someone else also do the test.
