FlashESP is an all-in-one web-based tool for ESP32/ESP8266 Arduino development and firmware flashing

FlashESP is a web-based tool allowing the development of Arduino sketches and firmware flashing for ESP32 and ESP8266 hardware platforms. I initially thought it was similar to ESP Web Tools for flashing firmware from the web and used by projects like ESPHome, but it goes further than that, and it looks like an Arduino Cloud Editor for ESP32/ESP8266 instead, since users can select boards, write code, load libraries, and flash the resulting firmware from a compatible web browser without installing anything else on their computer. FlashESP key features: Cloud Compilation - Real-time compilation with live logs. Auto Configuration - Intelligent board and library detection. One-Click Flash - Web Serial integration. Connect your ESP via USB and flash directly from a compatible browser (WebSerial support needed) without any drivers or downloads. Public Explorer - Discover community projects. Flexible Visibility - Create private projects for your team, public for the world, or
The #GardenLights #Cheerlights box is now screwed to the garden wall and operational :)
So #ESP8266 D1 Mini board in there with a 20Ah battery, running #MicroBlocks script publishing using #MQTT to my broker cymplecy.uk on topic gardenlights. This received by #NodeRED on Pi in my house which uses UDP to update colour of the #Wiz lights and also toots out to cheerlights
I quickly updated the code of a previous project, and I'm ready to start finding out what I can do with that display :)
But it's already been a long day, so it'll wait tomorrow :)
So it took me a while to figure out that the led strip I'm using does not like to be driven with 3.3V signal.
Luckily, I have some level shifterl laying around, and some soldering later, it works \o/
It's not pretty, but it works :)
Looks like I'm working on a new thing :)
I still have to make a case/stand and code some animation. Probably tomorrow.
