Thank you so much! I've been wanting to do this for a long time.

Please update your docs to mention the required external libraries, and using the github version of esp Arduino. Looks like the version in board manager doesn't have netbios.

Oh, and dont forget about the raceflight guys.

kmitchel avatar Nov 29 '16 00:11 kmitchel

they are mentioned in readme :) and properly linked

Requirements

My fail!

for raceflight to fit, larger flash is required. KISS GUI takes about 900KB and BetaFlight is around 2MB which fills the amount of SPIFFS that arduino supports by default, so to make it work on a larger flash, I will need to do many custom things in order to get raceflight to the larger or second SPIFFS partition

me-no-dev avatar Nov 29 '16 00:11 me-no-dev

like the tools do not support it, linker does not support it, OTA does not support it... that kind of issue :)

btw before raceflight, I would like to have the BLHeli GUI also. BTW SD CARD could also be used ;)

Do you think running beta config standalone on android with an OTG cable could work?

kmitchel avatar Nov 29 '16 01:11 kmitchel

writing an android app that embeds the browser and exposes otg connected serial is not a big deal. But then I am an iPhone user, though I do have Nexus 5X, but that one has USBC and I don't have OTG cable for it. Other than that, the gui can be made to run on Android directly from github source

me-no-dev avatar Nov 29 '16 01:11 me-no-dev

You should consider going through with that. For testing/tweaking an esp8266 is pretty cool--I know I will be using it alot--, but semi-permantly mounted longterm??? OTG might be accessible for more people. You would kick ez-gui's ass, and be beloved by many BetaFlight users.

Anyhow I would like to follow up with you later...thanks.

:D I do not want to kick anyone's ass. I also am full-time ESP developer, so I do not really have the time to support the android app or how to test it. I might provide an easier way to flash the ESP though

Hi! Would this module work? http://www.banggood.com/D1-Mini-NodeMcu-Lua-WIFI-ESP8266-Development-Board-p-1044858.html?rmmds=search

Or this? http://www.banggood.com/Geekcreit-Doit-NodeMcu-Lua-ESP8266-ESP-12E-WIFI-Development-Board-p-985891.html?rmmds=search

both will, though I recommend you the first one. It's much smaller, lighter and has better USB-UART (same as naze32)

me-no-dev avatar Nov 29 '16 13:11 me-no-dev

Okay, thanks, I'll use that

varkokonyi avatar Nov 29 '16 14:11 varkokonyi

Hehe ;) Seen this one already?

@fedorcomander I imagine that it will work out of the box with the third link you posted.

me-no-dev avatar Nov 29 '16 17:11 me-no-dev

Yap.
