Thanks, reassuring to see, using a SD extension cable looks helpful. Considered Wifi SD Card?
No idea why, but my ESP01S from V1E was working, stopped working, then started working again, for now… Mentioning because others also seemed to observe unexplained intermittent failures.
Expected behavior… Was initially able to load the ESP3D setup web pages, configure settings, set to AP mode. After restart can see and join the AP’s Wifi network. Great so far, but then…
I often ended up in a state where page doesn’t load, ping responses are slow/dropped. Observing TCP retransmissions, browser never gets a full response, not seeing ack data packets (observed using Wireshark on Windows 10). Tried numerous resets and powering down. One recent change made around the time things started working is I tweaked ESP3D AP IP from 192.168.0.1 to instead be 1.2.3.4, doubt that’s related, but who knows at this point, I’ve yet to locate ESP3D logging.
V1E ESP01S…
Thanks to @tjones99’s really helpful info in Add Wifi to SKR Pro step by step I was able to quickly flash this 4MB ESP01S laying around which has been consistently working today.
So, I currently have two ESP3D/ESP01S boards working for me. Will use them until if/when decide to use v1pi or something else with fancier features.
The ESP3D keyboard jogging is a nice feature, can finally look at the bit while positioning origin. Am looking into key remapping since my amzn fire BT keyboard doesn’t have PageUp/PageDown needed for Z-/Z+. A Joystick managed by Marlin would be cool of course, but for me, a reliably working ESP3D will be an upgrade from unreliably wired Repetier-Host. Cheers!
