Im looking to find out if anyone else has managed to get this combination working together wirelessly.

Hello, Jim. I waited a while to respond as I don’t have this combination running. I may have some questions to help troubleshoot, though.

I had a spare esp01 lying around and managed to program it and connect to it no problems

What version of esp3d did you use?

For reference, there’s a forum thread about flashing an esp01 with the ESP3D v3

Add Wifi to SKR Pro step by step

If you are looking to add the little ESP01 board to your SKR board to control your MPCNC or Lowrider or whatever CNC device you are trying to wifi enable then I hope this post helps you avoid the struggles I went through. I really had trouble finding all the pieces required. I am doing this for an MPCNC with SKR Pro V1.2 with TFT35 E3 V3.0 running dual endstop V1 firmware V515. Just works!!! First you need an ESP-01S like this (note: ESP-01 has less memory than ESP-01S so make sure you have an…

The SKR specific stuff would be of little help, but the ESP01 flashing notes worked for me to flash one of my ESP01s.

It just dawned on me after I posted this query that it may be a Version conflict between ESP3D 0.9.99 and Marlin 2, perhaps the custom one prepared for the MPCNC. ??

It’s a good bet that if you used the stock v1e RAMPS MPCNC firmware that it is not configured correctly to support ESP3D on a RAMPS AUX port. Maybe someone like @jeffeb3 has some insight about that.
