Now using ESPlorer (ESP8266.ru/esplorer) I'm writing the webap_toggle_pin.lua example from NodeMCU in its original unadulterated form to my web enabled LED.

Big fan of your's. Want to meet you some day👌👌
good job thx
Interesting stuff, thanks.
Is it possible to serve a web page in STA (client) mode? If not, then this is actually a bit of a problem. For home automation, I'd not like to hop around different access points just to switch on/off my appliances.. 🙁 I'm sure there is some way..
Hi Julian thanks for all videos! I have request! Can you make tutorial using ESP2866 and stepped motor to unlock and lock the door, and use Siri to unlock and lock? Thanks!
nice video !!!
Hm, every time I upload a program(literaly this one) to my esp as init.lua(or any other name) it saves it as int.lua when i try to call it back. have you ever seen that before?
PORT OPEN 9600
Communication with MCU…
Got answer! AutoDetect firmware…
Can't autodetect firmware, because proper answer not received.
muchas gracias , please up load more ,thanks
Thanks Julian. Following your instruction, I made it work. I use the laptop and Samsung phone in the house, I can get access to turn on and off the LED. The problem is at work, I can not connect to that ESP8266 at home to turn the LED on or off (cannot load the page of my home ESP8266 ip address). Any help is truly appreciated.
A nice series of videos. Unfortunately, since the new version of ESPlorer (v 0.2) was released, I did not manage to follow your instructions step by step. I find this quite confusing. could you explain the crucial steps using the latest ESPlorer?
Three questions:
Is this all directly on the ESP8266 or does it require an extra mcu?
How many pins can i control?
Is there enough power to toggle a relay?
Hello Julian,
Thanks for this series of amazing videos. I am trying to use CP2102 USB to UART to drive the ESP8266 (also tried a separate supply with common ground). I connected
Tx—> Rx
Rx—> Tx
VCC, CH_PD—> 3.3V
GND—> GND.
Now I am trying to send AT commands using Hyperterminal and Putty (tried with different baud rates:9600, 57600, 115200) but I am not getting any response from ESP8266. I also downloaded the Arduino add on for ESP8266 and tried with Arduino serial (generic ESP8266) but didn't work. Can anyone please help me with this??
Hello Julian. I just bought a couple of ESP8266-01 modules and got them to work with AT commands. Made my own board with LM311, Mosfets etc. I have some points for clarification.
1. In your older version of the video (#1) where you use ESP flasher, you had grounded GPIO0 to save the file in ESP. In this version (#3) I could not see this step. Does ESPlorer not require GPIO0 to be grounded to save the file to ESP8266? I think it is a hardware requirement?
2. I want to use the ESP8266 with an external open ATMega8 board (not Arduino). I am very familiar with this and have developed many projects in C & assembly on this board. How do I interface the ESP8266 UART with the ATMega8 UART so that I can send and receive data over WiFi? In effect, I want to use the ESP merely as a WiFi adapter, just like we use a MAX 232 adapter t interface ATMega to a PC. I may not require a web server etc. I am not a software person but can work comfortably with hardware, so I want a simple but reliable system.
Regards.
