+ | |||
+ | ==Communicating with the ESP8266== | ||
+ | ===Physical Connection=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Choose your favourite USB-Serial UART. (I like the [https://www.banggood.com/CJMCU-340-CH340G-TTL-To-USB-STC-Downloader-Serial-Communication-Module-Pin-All-Leads-p-1149176.html CJMCU-340]) | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''NOTE:''' The ESP8266 is a 3.3V device. Don't use a 5V UART! | ||
+ | |||
+ | GPIO1 = TxD | ||
+ | |||
+ | GPIO3 = RxD | ||
+ | |||
+ | As always, Connect TxD to RX-in on your UART & RxD to TX-out on your UART. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Talking to it=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''NOTE:''' The ESP initially spits out debug information at 74880 baud. This is not a standard speed. ([http://cholla.mmto.org/esp8266/weird_baud/ some discussion about this]) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Choose your favourite terminal program & point it at the appropriate port. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this example, I'll use miniterm (Because it's simple) | ||
+ | |||
+ | *<code>miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 74880</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Gives me this (with an ESP-M3 that's been flashed & made ready for use...): | ||
+ | |||

+ | See all that weirdness on the last few lines? That's data at a different speed. The device has booted & is trying to talk to us... | ||

+ | Oh... Look. It's a Tasmota device. | ||

+ | Notice the weirdness between the banner & the first line with 00:00:00 at the start? That's the debug information coming in at 74880 that we saw in the previous example. | ||

- Many bugs seem to appear with version changes...
- 0.8.6 seems functional on my D1 Minis. (Tho it self-reports as 0.8.4)
- Many bugs seem to appear with version changes...

Communicating with the ESP8266
Physical Connection
Choose your favourite USB-Serial UART. (I like the CJMCU-340)
NOTE: The ESP8266 is a 3.3V device. Don't use a 5V UART!
GPIO1 = TxD
GPIO3 = RxD
As always, Connect TxD to RX-in on your UART & RxD to TX-out on your UART.
Talking to it
NOTE: The ESP initially spits out debug information at 74880 baud. This is not a standard speed. (some discussion about this)
Choose your favourite terminal program & point it at the appropriate port.
In this example, I'll use miniterm (Because it's simple)
miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 74880
Gives me this (with an ESP-M3 that's been flashed & made ready for use...):
--- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0 74880,8,N,1 --- --- Quit: Ctrl+] | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H --- ets Jan 8 2013,rst cause:1, boot mode:(3,6) load 0x4010f000, len 3584, room 16 tail 0 chksum 0xb0 csum 0xb0 v2843a5ac ~ld ␄␝␑␑␁" ��^�K␕���)␄5␑�␌7mX'\��o␇�␄5%�iHD��U␁'Rܥ@␁␒␕␝�␇!␕�␑t␅!o�Y��␓C����+��J[�`�␙��P␂�
See all that weirdness on the last few lines? That's data at a different speed. The device has booted & is trying to talk to us...
Starting over with:
miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
Gives me this:
--- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0 115200,8,N,1 --- --- Quit: Ctrl+] | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H --- rd␀$��|␀�l�|␃␌␌␄�␄l�␄c|��␃�␒�;�cl␄c��g'�log���␌c␜8��lrl;lx�o�␘␃␌␄�␌d␌��␌␄␌#␄g�| ␃�$�␄�#��no�␀$��l ␃�␛␓og␄l`␃␏␂'{���g␄␌c␃l`␃␇s��n␌␄c␂d`␂�c␌␄�␜␂�l{� ␃��o�␃ 00:00:00 CFG: Loaded from flash at F9, Count 89 00:00:00 QPC: Count 2 00:00:00 Project tasmota ESP-M3-Everything-1 Version 8.5.0(tasmota)-2_7_4_1
Oh... Look. It's a Tasmota device.
Notice the weirdness between the banner & the first line with 00:00:00 at the start? That's the debug information coming in at 74880 that we saw in the previous example.
Interpreting the Debug Information
Here's the output from an ESP-07 that hasn't been flashed yet (IOW... Factory fresh):
--- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0 74880,8,N,1 --- --- Quit: Ctrl+] | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H --- ets Jan 8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(3,7) load 0x40100000, len 27728, room 16 tail 0 chksum 0x2a load 0x3ffe8000, len 2124, room 8 tail 4 chksum 0x07 load 0x3ffe8850, len 9276, room 4 tail 8 chksum 0xba csum 0xba rf[112] : 00 rf[113] : 00 rf[114] : 01 SDK ver: 1.5.4(baaeaebb) compiled @ May 17 2016 19:23:54 phy ver: 972, pp ver: 10.1 )�L�
& the same device booted into flashing mode:
--- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0 74880,8,N,1 --- --- Quit: Ctrl+] | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H --- ets Jan 8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(1,7)
