ESP8266 with only 1MB of flash about channel3 HOT 15 CLOSED

hello,
I found this copy of channel3 made in arduino IDE. Here is the link : https://github.com/Alexander12827/chlib

Warning! : I did not test this libray. I'm not sure that this works. I went through the code, and found out that this does'nt use wifi.

from channel3.

ok nvm i now understand

from channel3.

it dose'nt give wifi. and your esp shoud have an external antina connected. and your tv shoud support analog mode. and you can't modify it. it is an binary program and if you were able to read it, it is not in C or C++. it will be a compleatly different language.

Ooph... I really don't recall those ins and outs, I've only ever tested this on >1MB Flash.

(Anyone else who knows can comment) but @NikunjChiluvuri is incorrect.
(1) It should broadcast an AP, but will likely be very difficult to receive because of the analog broadcast.
(2) It is written in C, and can be recompiled from whence using this repository.

Sorry for such a late reply, I forgot to hit send.

RIP me, lol. I only have ESP8266-01's that I bought off Amazon in a 5 or 10 pack (don't really remember, long time ago) and 2 NodeMCU ESP32S's, but only one works (I fried the other 😢), it's in use, and, even if it wasn't, or if the other worked, this only works on ESP8266's (see #20 and #16)

Edited to clarify: the ESP8266-01's are all 1MB flash, basically whatever option was cheapest per chip at the time

(1) It should broadcast an AP, but will likely be very difficult to receive because of the analog broadcast.

That's what I guessed (based on the minimal amount of the source I read though not very good with ESP C, only really used Arduino IDE, as well as the README.md for esp82xx)

(2) It is written in C, and can be recompiled from whence using this repository.

Yep, that's what GitHub says (79.6% C)

ok sorry @aaronjamt

from channel3.

i will check it
and close mine

from channel3.

and i cant install wsl1

from channel3.

and how to get the c programs?

from channel3.

and if you can, give me the link.

Wow, thanks! I'll try that, it might work. I think the issue it the fact that this uses @cnlohr 's custom SDK which relies on certain parts being in certain places in the flash. Thanks for pointing that other repo out @NikunjChiluvuri !

from channel3.

I'm going to close this for now, since it seems that it would need major rework to work on a 1MB chip, and since @NikunjChiluvuri pointed out an alternative.

from channel3.

Your welcome :)

wait what?! it gives me an wifi connection?!
