ESP 8266 - ESP 32 |
(1/1) |

Hello All So these little micro controllers have become quite popular lately and are well suited for a SAS project. * Cheap * Arduino compatible * Built in WI-Fi Only problem is that hardware UARTS do not have 9 bit serial as an option. Currently using some software Serial libs but not having any luck. Has anybody managed to get these working ? Regards Ian |

Ian, i have not tried those yet, i am still using arduino btw i was zarobhr on the old forums, just got back into things a few months ago getting ready to try a port my pc based to a mini pc that i can stuff into the top box and support 4-8 slots with will see how that goes |

TZTech on old site - Good to see original experimenters still around ESP 8266 working so this makes a <$5 dollar standalone WiFi capable device possible. Used the D1 Mini which is a nice little board to play around with these chips - $2.20 on Aliexpress. you will also need and TTL to RS232 converter. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/D1-mini-Mini-NodeMcu-4M-bytes-Lua-WIFI-Internet-of-Things-development-board-based-ESP8266-by/32644199530.html?spm=2114.search0604.8.44.76a8766f5EaD4g&transAbTest=ae803_2&priceBeautifyAB=0 If you are already familiar with Arduino these are pretty easy to get going. |

The esp8266 is very cool , I tried it. But it is in wireless communication, sometimes it lost the packets. In this issue I will not go for it. My Opinion only. |

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if anyone ever got anywhere with this? I am a newbie to this whole slot thing and have been experimenting with stuff. I am familiar with using ESP8266 for my Holiday Lighting hobby so I was wondering if this project ever got any traction. Thanks, John |
