ESPixelStick - E1.31 WiFi Pixel Controller

[Lowepg]

Dumb question:

This is an incredibly cost effective wireless pixel control option! I love it.

But, is there an equivalently economical WIRED solution for single universe applications? Closest I've seen is for Renard, but I'm not running any other Renard...

I was curious, if any of you have a link to a noob-level guide that shows how to set up the proper environment for compiling the git source for ESPixelstick, and load it into the ESP-01. I would prefer Windows x64 but can use linux (centos 6) if I have to.

I've looked at several guides/howto's on the web but they're different enough to where they as a collective are confusing me. One talked about a lauloader bootstrap and another talked about nodeMCU and I'm a real noob when it comes to programming tiny things. I'm going to have to do this for PICs too as I have a box of 16F1825's coming.

I bought a dedicated ESP-01 programmer for $9 on ebay (pic attached) to make life easier. It plugs into a USB port and has the correct voltages, and the CH340 supposed to be supported by Windows of all flavors, including x64 and Win10. Drivers are included in the auction.

Thanks for any points in the right direction.

If you follow my instructions for my RenESP adapter, it covers setting up Arduino to flash the ESP chip.

I compiled it !!!! I used the 1.6.7 IDE on Win10Pro !!!!

I struggled with it for a long while but it seems I forgot to select "Generic ESP8266 Module", but once I got that ticked off I had to add:

void loadConfig(void);
int initWifi(void);
void initWeb( void);

to the .ino file. Not sure where the output went on the hard drive but that's okay because my programmer and order of ESP-01's haven't arrived yet. Progress!

Thanks for your help guys!

Is there any word on a GB for this board sometime soon?
I see the GECE version is up....

I'm currently updating the design to address a few items and make it a little more user friendly. I'm planning to have something available come spring time and will be posting on here for beta testers of the new design as well. Thanks!

Thanks! Really looking forward to seeing what ideas you come up with. ;)

Could you add support for the tls 3001 pixels ?

If so I would be interested in these .

Cheers

I'll be looking out for the Beta tester info.

I haven't looked at the protocol yet, but I'll put it on my todo list.
