pixhawk mini telemetry with ESP8266, great!, but which firmware for ESP8266?

There are so many firmware that could be working as telemetry for pixhawk.
the orignal one,
https://github.com/liqin123/UAV-wifi-link

the way of making upload is a complex, you need to load 3 different bin to 3 different address. So I did not try it.



https://github.com/dogmaphobic/mavesp8266
This firmware takes mavlink command to setup the wifi...but I tried Qgroundcontrol v3.2.5and mission planner 1.3.5
QGC will have a esp8266 section when you connect through wifi when it's a AP..
MP will show the ESP8266 stuff, when you connect through usb....
but both not working with mavesp8266
mavesp8266 also have a http command, but I can't get it work as station....
but this is the current one that I have it worked.
it's done with platformIo, so there is a way to make it as station form source.

I update again the ESP8266 firmware with mavesp, and connect on pixhawk mini(this one also updated to arduplane 3.8.3), it should first show up as AP, connect wifi of PC to it and  run up MP, this time I can config the ESP8266 as a client to connect to my router with a fix IP.
Then I test with Qgroungcontrol, it works as well.


The best thing is that if esp is in station mode and can't find your AP, it will turn to AP. So that you can always find a way to connect to it.
In MP, the config page is limited, in QGC you can set different SSID for station and AP.

This one use arduino, so you need to set your environment  in wifi_config.h

 this is easier for me....but ut makes it's own parser...

 I wish to make ESP8266 as station, so that we can have multi-craft on Qgroundcontrol

 But I can't get the pprz arduino programe load to module(which is based on ESP08s)
Need to use this tool

in the post, he has a very friendly UI tool for flash firmware to 8266, you can also use this tool to flash other firmware.

Heltec ESP32+OLED+Lora, hardware testing

圖片
you can easily find some good boards from china, but most of them lack of accurate document... Hrere is an example; https://hackaday.io/project/26991-esp32-board-wifi-lora-32 the board looks good with lora and a 128x64 OLED, but the IIC and reset connection is important, since pin can be muxing easily, so every board could be different. pinMode(16,OUTPUT);  digitalWrite(16, LOW); // set GPIO16 low to reset OLED  delay(50);  digitalWrite(16, HIGH); // while OLED is running, must set GPIO16 to high  and, if needed, edit your Wire.begin() to Wire.begin(4,15); (4 = SDA 15 SCL)  i tested it with the Adafruit SSD1306 and the Acrobotics SSD1306 Librarys  both work.  Display size is 128x64 There are discussions on these boards on TＴＮ as a LORA node..or maybee single ch gateway? Heltec has a git :  https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee And there is another copy call TTGO https://de.aliexpress.com/item/TTGO-LORA32-868-915-Mhz-SX1276-ESP32-Oled-display-Bluetooth-WIFI

micro SD card for ESP32, on lolin32 with OLED and heltec 32 lora oled

圖片
I have purchased 2 micro SD card holder for my esp project. First I would like to test with heltec esp32 lora oled module. this module uses: sck=05 MISO=19 MOSI=27 SS(lora)=18, then I assigned 21 for sd SS and there is a lib in esp32-arduino, which use SS default at 5 I took the example and use SD.begin(21), but I alway get the error: entry 0x40078a9c Card Mount Failed But I do saw once that it read out the sd card type and volume. Not sure it's the issue of lora sd card swithing, or it just can't work. The other esp32 card I have is an wemos esp32 oled, it did not leave me too much pins, I need to find out how to connect sd to it. But I have wemos D1 mini esp8266 on hand, and connect it as:  * The WeMos Micro SD Shield uses:  * D5, D6, D7, D8, 3V3 and G  *  * The shield uses SPI bus pins:  * D5 = CLK  * D6 = MISO  * D7 = MOSI  * D8 = CS It's not working with the example in the arduino IDE 1.8.5, which marked SD(esp8266), but it w

AIS0. understanding AIS NMEA 0183: How it's coded

For my boat tracking system, I found out that using AIS format seems to be a good idea, at least I don't have to worry about how to present boat data, since there are already plenty things for do this on mobile phone or PC. Here is what I read: http://catb.org/gpsd/AIVDM.html Looking into AIS NMEA0183, it has much more application then I think. Such as MOB device, epir, aid to navigation device...etc, all are included. it use the first few char to indicate the function: Table 1. AIS talker IDs !AB NMEA 4.0 Base AIS station !AD MMEA 4.0 Dependent AIS Base Station !AI Mobile AIS station !AN NMEA 4.0 Aid to Navigation AIS station !AR NMEA 4.0 AIS Receiving Station !AS NMEA 4.0 Limited Base Station !AT NMEA 4.0 AIS Transmitting Station !AX NMEA 4.0 Repeater AIS station !BS Base AIS station (deprecated in NMEA 4.0) !SA NMEA 4.0 Physical Shore AIS Station It can also be used between device on boat for message communication, AIVDO The
