Headless SKR Pro Info

How do you get V1E ESP3D/ESP01S connected to SKR Pro, to read files off the TFT card reader? Or will the ESP01S need to be connected to the TFT instead? In which case, do I need to downgrade SKR Pro firmware (updated to 515 yesterday…), and/or upgrade TFT firmware. Sorry if this was described already, I read this entire topic 3+ times.

I appreciate the ‘headless’ effort was started to avoid needing a TFT, but I/others have one already, so may as well maximize the experience, it’s been helpful to see some of the ESP3D messages on the TFT, especially for some instances where ESP3D takes a mysteriously long time to load/respond.

Also, the TFT Card reader is more accessible for my LR3 build setup. I’m willing to recompile firmware, if there isn’t a simpler option, any pointers are appreciated.

Have configured V1E ESP3D/ESP01S back to AP mode until if/when am able to reliably use.

Currently, have the ESP01S mounted to SKR Pro (updated firmware 515), and am able to successfully read files off the SKR Pro’s micro SD card reader. TFT firmware hasn’t been changed since was delivered ~6/22.

Able to read .gcode files written by a PC, then manually inserted into SKR’s micro SD reader. But ESP3D seems clueless when SD Card is inserted into the TFT. Used the SD Memory Card Formatter mentioned earlier.
Reading Why SD upload is so slow ? How to increase speed ? and other discussions in the ESP3D repo has been helpful.

Cheers!

Edit: I guess strapping on a Micro SD to SD Card Extension Cable Adapter (connected to SKR) is an option if the TFT SD Card reader can’t be enabled for some reason.
