multiple other esp8266 based projects came faster

Arduino / ESP combo could work as a kickstarter but I suppose its very difficult to hit attractive price point - Only combo i have found so far is the cactus micro.

@me-no-dev
i have an idea for 32u4+ESP over SPI
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
well we wanted it to be Arduino-branded (as that would allow for a higher pricing point) but failed to agree on terms with Massimo et al
Me No Dev
@me-no-dev
the esp being a slave
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
not failed really but rather were unfortunate trying to talk to them while they were in those legal battles
so their interest was elsewhere
IanWalker
@IanWalker
I think they are launching a new wifi shield with a Atmel part. Suppose they dont really want cheaper competion.
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
yes, could be true. actually they said they wanted as many boards as possible, as long as the pricing points and features are different

@me-no-dev check out the cactus Micro- http://www.aprbrother.com/. Available via ebay and tindie. Have recieved one but have not played with it yet.
What do You all think about the Oak kickstarter ?

@me-no-dev
@IanWalker I'm talking about SPI connectivity. So you can extend and use another serial through the ESP, can exchange data much more quickly and so on. Byte protocol, no string parsing

do i need to burn bootloader or eboot will be flashed automatically ?
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
eboot is included into the binary
it lives in the first sector
chad cormier roussel
@chadouming
cool
hmm, sketch use blah blah adds 38365 bytes that are not uploaded
Me No Dev
@me-no-dev
having issues with esptool and the latest git
uload hangs
chad cormier roussel
@chadouming
worked fine here tho
also, it seems faster from boot to execution
almost instant

@chadouming
i didn't have that much information
i'm on pc xD
Me No Dev
@me-no-dev
i have debug enabled in preferences
chad cormier roussel
@chadouming
ah, didn't have the upload debug nabled
Me No Dev
@me-no-dev
it usually shows a bunch of dots while flashing
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
you have a scope now... can you take a look at uart?
works fine for me on a Mac...
Me No Dev
@me-no-dev
maybe it's something else
i killed all esptool processes that were hanging
and restarted the IDE
now hangs before the esptool debug
the last line is the execution command
if I unplug the uart it errors fine
will do old fashioned reboot
update nagges from a few days now anyways

re extra 38365 bytes:
accidentally added .bss to the regex
recipe.size.regex=^(?:.irom0.text|.text|.data|.rodata|.bss|)\s+([0-9]+).*
chad cormier roussel
@chadouming
yay, i'm not crazy :D
Me No Dev
@me-no-dev
reboot fixed the flashing issue
Me No Dev
@me-no-dev
same thing again
and I have an unkillable esptool
Russ Mathis
@RussMathis
@ficeto, the esp goes in the fishing bob/cork and wakes via a spring loaded weight when the fish bites?

Servo library Pull out for review, supports the new Timer0 and the already present Timer1, based on the Servo library that comes with Arduino

Wifi enabled fishing, brilliant :D
