grovkillen / esp_easy_flasher Goto Github PK

There is powershell core https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell It is the successor to PowerShell.
Would this work ?

Hi
used espeasy Flasher,

added rules to rules folder and selected rules

naming rules3.txt and rules4.txt in rules 3 and 4 section.

but after flash, rules are emty in ESPEasy device.

@Grovkillen
Not sure if this an App problem or an ESPEasy problem

Using an old Vista PC. (WIN7 still not working)

Flash empty 4K goes well
Flash mega 20181101 goes well
Post flash action with no Admin password, Fixed IP and 2# SSID/Password
Post flash action seems to go well but ...
does not come out of the communication check wait loop at the end.

After termination and reboot:
the terminal shows ... not a valid wifi setting
terminal Settings command shows 0.0.0.0 as IP
terminal IP command accepts my input for a valid IP number.
terminal Save command
terminal Reboot command
After reboot
the terminal shows ... not a valid wifi setting
Settings command shows 0.0.0.0 as IP

Is the terminal IP command not working ??? and therefore the App not working with fixed IP?

Tried without the fixed IP
it does not come out of the communication check wait loop at the end.
After termination and reboot I need to use the terminal to discover the allocated IP,
to use that to change it to a fixed IP

I'm sure you are probably aware of this but it would be nice if the open folder button allowed you to navigate to and select the folder and file you want. Now it only opens a new explorer window.

Not a big deal. Just thought I'd put this here so you can prioritize it for future improvement.

I'm Have this Problem.
At the startup display this error:

Error in ESP.Easy.Flasher.EXE
Line:71 - (1:1) Unquoted string in JSON data only valid for dictionary names.

Thanks

@Grovkillen
Just tried to execute the download 0.02
Run as administrator on WIN7
I see expanding to a number of sub-directories.
But with this error:

Important?

I saw later that ESP.Easy.Flasher is now included in the ESP distribution.
If I execute it there, within the folder, then .... no error message !!

Is it possible do load configurationfile "config.dat (or any other) post flashing automatically?

I really like this tool, but sometimes find the text a bit difficult to read. May I propose to use the standard Windows font, so the flasher adapts to the user's preferences?

I Think the subject says it all. My WIFI password has { and } in the text. ESPEasy Flashes crashes when trying to use this.

Greetings,

i recently added a new usb to ttl device to my collection. When plugged in, windows device manager tells me it is recognized and sees it as com10.
i can use it with putty and the likes of that.
The ESP-Easy_Flasher does not see it when attached to the computer.
Is there a limit on the number of com ports it looks for?
i have tried multiple versions of the flasher, including the one in the latest ESPEasy release.

I am running this on a high dpi screen, I guess that is the reason my application window looks like this?

Would be nice if high dpi support could be implemented

Hi,
just sending a couple of ideas:

1. would it be possible to load a config file during the flash process?
2. would it be possible to change the IP and wifi settings of an already flashed unit?
   (in other words, assume you have a ESP unit misconfigured and want to change just the IP or wifi SSID)

thanks

Not sure if ESPEasy has the serial command possibility, but if so

• Add NTP field to the GUI.
  NTP Server name or number.

Windows 10 1709 (OS Build 16299.125)

ESP Easy Flasher (0.00.013) executed from C:\ESP_Easy_Flasher

Programmer HW:
Silicon Labs CP210x at COM3

Application started ad Administrator. But no com port is shown in the list of avalible COM ports.

On WIN7 this is the log:

DONE!
(You may disconnect the unit if you want.)
COM port is already in use. Cannot proceed.
Adding settings using SERIAL commands.
Flashing done (76.4s).
Start flashing on COM18 (This might take a minute or two...)

Any idea how to deal with this?

I can Open a Folder, navigate to the specific folder.
But then I can not select a file by clicking on a OK button.
Can you pls explain what I do wrong?

If you do any further work on this handy little application, please change the layout so it can be used on a 768(v) screen. The simplest solution would be to put the serial output at the bottom of the screen. This way the key buttons would be visible.

Thanks again for developing this app.

Hi,
as I cannot open a PR on your project, I will add here the scp file.
ESP_Easy_Flasher.scp.zip
If you like it just drop me a comment so I know it has been accepted :)

My suggestion is to be able to set the IP, unit, wifi credentials and password even if you don't upload the firmware. In other words to be able to set the POST FLASH activities even without loading a firmware.
To do that I have created a subroutine called START_POST_FLASH that is called if bin file is empty or after the firmware upload.

I couldn't compile the script to test, as I didn't understand the language.
please review my suggested proposal.

Any possibility to support ESP32 in the future? Asking for a friend... ;>)

L.S.,

Recently received a new batch of Sonoff Basic switches. Had a tough time flashing them with ESPEasy.
Found out by accident Sonoff changed the design (yet again) and used ESP8285 on this batch.
I would like to see the chip to be flashed identified somewhere in the UI

i currently identify the chip by running python esptool.py chip_id

Thanks for writing the tool. Much appreciated.

Ive downloaded the latest version which includes the FlashESP8266 and the ESP.Easy.Flasher but in both i have no COM ports. Ive launched both as "admin" but no COM port is still available. However, my nodeMCU V3.4 ESP 8266 ESP - 12E was recognized by W10. BTW in my manager I have no COM ports available at all, only the USB Controller. What did I wrong. Please help me!

My display is set to 1920 X 1080 on my workbench machine. If anything other than 100% the program window is clipped of and unusable.

Given Unit Name and Number are not used in Flash tool. (0.02.000)
Saw a name .. something with ESP_xxx, and no number
(used without Admin PW setting)
Other params. works fine!

Please, rework GUI completely. Use some Windows guidelines. Why is GUI using custom font? GUI is absolutely user unfriendly and font is ugly.
