Esp8266 3d printer wifi


ESP3D WiFi Enable your 3D Printer

Let's add WiFi to the <link-article id=tronxy-x5s-build-guide">TronXY X5S 3D Printer for only a few dollars!

Hardware

I'm using the following hardware:

  • LoLin V3 ESP8266

  • A 3A, 5v Voltage Regulator to power the ESP8266

  • On my TronXY X5S 3D Printer.

Arduino ESP8266 Setup

  • Install Arduino IDE version 1.8.8 from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
  • Open the Arduino IDE and then open the Preferences dialog
  • In the "Additional Boards Manager URL field, paste in:

http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index. json

  • Click OK
  • Click Tools -> Boards -> Board Manager
  • Search for esp8266
  • Select version 2.4.2 and click install
  • Click Close when it is done
  • Click Tools -> Boards and select the board you're using. If you have the board linked above, you'll want to select NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)
  • Click Tools -> CPU Frequency and select 160MHz
  • Ensure the correct flash size is selected. Use 4M (3M SPIFFS) for the NodeMCU 1. 0 board. See https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D/wiki/Flash-Size#figuring-out-the-flash-size for more details
  • Select "Erase Flash: All Flash Contents" under Tools to ensure the ESP8266 is fully reset when the firmware is uploaded. After the first time you upload the firmware, this can be changed to Only Sketch

Compiling

Get the code using git or by downloading the zip:

Via git:

git clone https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D.git git checkout 1.0 -b release-1.0

Or via download:

wget https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D/archive/1.0.zip unzip 1.0.zip

Open esp3d/esp3d.ino in the Arduino IDE and click the check mark to compile.

ch440g driver

Most Chinese ESP development boards use the ch440g chip for usb to serial conversion.

You'll need a driver if you don't already have it installed.

Mac OS ch440g driver

Windows may automatically detect and install the driver. If not, you'll want to use Ch441SER.ZIP, available the manufacturer's website:

Ch441SER.ZIP

Uploading

Plug the NodeMCU 1.0 board into your computer while holding the Flash button on the board.

Select the correct port, on my computer this is /dev/tty.usbserial-144110

Click the -> arrow to upload.

The blue light on the module will flash rapidly while uploading. Wait until this stops then wait another 60 seconds or so for the EEPROM to configure.

Now is a good time to change the Erase Flash option to Only Sketch

Hit the RST button on the NodeMCU 1. 0 board.

You should see the ESP3D network appear if you check your WiFi settings on your computer now.

Configuration

Connect to the ESP3D network from your computer. The password is 12345678

You should automatically get a captive portal, but if not, browse to http://192.168.0.1

If prompted, upload the 4 files in the esp3d/data/ folder

Open a new tab or refresh: http://192.168.0.1

You should get the following configuration wizard:

Hit continue, then set the BAUD to 115200 to match our Marlin configuration and configure your WiFi settings (I used it as a client on the wifi network)

Refresh the page, close the configuration wizard and hit restart or just press the RST button on your NodeMCU 1. 0.

You can see the status of your ESP8266 by bringing up the Arduino serial monitor (Tools -> Serial Monitor) and setting the BAUD to 115200 (or 115200 if you've changed it already). You can see the IP of the device in the serial monitor or on the printer's display (once it's connected).

Browse to the IP displayed on the serial monitor.

Once that is working, it's time to wire up the ESP8266

Wiring

You'll want to wire the TX / RX lines on the NodeMCU 1.0 to the TX / RX lines on the Ch440G serial adapter on the TronXY. See how the white and green wires are connected here, to TX/RX on the ESP8266

I also tried pulling 5v from the TronXY, but the ESP8266 was drawing too much current, so I had to switch to the voltage regulator. Wire the voltage regulator input to the 12v line and the output to the ESP8266.

Debugging

Enable debug mode with this change to config.h for more verbose logging

//DEBUG Flag do not do this when connected to printer !!! //be noted all upload may failed if enabled #define DEBUG_ESP3D //#define DEBUG_OUTPUT_SPIFFS #define DEBUG_OUTPUT_SERIAL //#define DEBUG_OUTPUT_TCP

ESP8266 WiFi SD card for 3D printer (plug-and-play)

Tech

with a g-code on the PC, remove the SD card from the 3D printer, insert it into the PC, write down the g-code, and then put it back into the 3D printer. And, besides, for those who do not want to deal with arduino and all sorts of libraries. In fact, this is an analogue of FlashAir, but more cumbersome. All you need is to make a PCB, solder it, load the binary code into the ESP8266 using any programmer program, write your WiFi network settings to the SD card, insert the board into the SD slot of the 3D printer, and work over WiFi with files on the printer's SD card on your PC, as with network ones. Based on the development https://github.

com/ardyesp/ESPWebDAVhttps://3dtoday.ru/blogs/jeka-tm/sd-card-with-wifi-with -your-own-hands/ and brought to its logical end. So: Schematic diagram: Board in Layout60003

* - only for programming is not needed) The free program ESP8266Flasher.exe was used for uploading, but you can upload any other one, uploading is carried out at 0x00000Configuration. - Install jumper S1 on the assembled board - Write the setup.ini file to the root directory with three lines on the SD card: Wifi =Name of the wifi network to which we are connectingPassword=Network passwordThird line - empty - insert the SD card into the SD2 slot - Connect to the level converter RX,TX,Gnd, +3.3v with jmp1 (if you have a TTL-USB module at 3.3v , then the level converter is not needed, and + 3.3v does not need to be connected anywhere) (Note: I still do not understand: RX-TX, TX -RX or RX-RX,TX-TX, if one does not work, try the other. ) - Insert the TTL-USB module into the computer, install the drivers - Connect external power to the board - For programming, set switch S2 to the "closed" position, then briefly press the button S3- Run the programmer on the PC, set the port, speed, specify the binary download file, download address and start programming. The blue LED will flash. After programming is completed, switch S2 is set to the "open" position and press the S3 button. The device should now appear on your wireless home network in about 1 minute. To use it all the time, you can assign the SD drive to the PC's network drive. After we made sure that everything works, we take the device, remove the jumper S1, insert it into the SD connector on the display board and connect the power from the + 5v board: The attached archive contains a printed circuit board in the lay6 format, a binary firmware file, and, in addition, for those who want to tinker with Arduino and tweak something, the sketch source.https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3zqi/3ecDR82hg 42MB file is recorded ~ 2m 30s. The first part printed after installing this device, printing time is about 8 hours.

I hope I haven't missed anything, good luck everyone!
