ESP8266 IoT Firmware

From ElectroDragon Wiki

The following examples based on IoT demo, another example located in SDK examples subfolder, similar to AT demo, but run in a different/advanced way, and it can cooperate with website, devices/phone app, etc in a better way (curl), without additional MCU control.

Basic function GPIO(relay) control, PWM control (light), sensor (coming soon), lightweight webserver are set in the demo.

Customizing the IoT demo code to start the secondary development of your little module!

Update

  • 12/02 Basic setup, json command usage, code about UART output string, os_timer
  • 01/05 add DHT11 demo code

Setup

  • To use the IoT demo, you must already know how to use Lubuntu environment to compile to the application code, our cygwin environment can not correctly compile for now. Also can successfully flash your module.

Change wired password

  • Change the password setup in user_esp_platform.c (comment the line of os_sprintf, and add new one instead)and change password at user_config.h (#define PASSWORD "v*%W>L<@i&Nxe!")
#ifdef SOFTAP_ENCRYPT
struct softap_config config;
char password[33];
char macaddr[6];

wifi_softap_get_config(&config);
wifi_get_macaddr(SOFTAP_IF, macaddr);

os_memset(config.password, 0, sizeof(config.password));
// os_sprintf(password, MACSTR "_%s", MAC2STR(macaddr), PASSWORD);
os_sprintf(password, "%s", PASSWORD); // or os_sprintf(password, "12345678"); to set it directly to 12345678
os_memcpy(config.password, password, os_strlen(password));
config.authmode = AUTH_WPA_WPA2_PSK; // can also set this to AUTH_OPEN or others (OPEN、WPAPSK、WPA2PSK、WPAPSK/WPA2PSK)

wifi_softap_set_config(&config);
#endif

Check

  • Default module work at softAP, 192.168.4.1
  • Now you can use curl to set the module (can used by android, python, etc), if you are using curl in windows, you should also notice about this issue Curl
  • Check the wifi settings on browser with following URL: http://192.168.4.1/config?command=wifi

Iot wifi configure.png

Curl Command

Tool can find at http://curl.haxx.se/download.html, the word ip should be replaced to 192.168.4.1 which is the wifi IP

  • Check version
curl -X GET http://ip/client?command=info
  • Set station mode
curl -X POST -H Content-Type:application/json -d '{"Request":{"Station":{"Connect_Station":{"ssid":"tenda","password":"1234567890","token": "1234567890123456789012345678901234567890"}}}}' http://ip/config?command=wifi
  • Set SoftAP mode
curl -X POST -H Content-Type:application/json -d '{"Request":{"Softap":{"Connect_Softap":{"authmode":"OPEN","channel":6,"ssid":"ESP_IOT_SOFTAP","password":""}}}}' http://192.168.4.1/config?command=wifi

Find device in Ethernet

  • Send the following string by UDP to device 192.168.4.1 at port 1025, will receive

Code Customize

Basic Timer and Uart output

The following code will set the module to output text string every one second.

  • Set extra UART string output void in uart.c, this is based on current uart tx output void uart0_tx_buffer(uint8 *buf, uint16 len)
void Uart0_Send_Str(uint8 *buf)
{
	while(*buf!='\0'){
		uart0_tx_buffer(buf, 1);
		buf++;
		}
}
  • Add header in uart.h
void uart0_send_str(uint8 *buf);
  • Add include in main.c
#include "driver/uart.h" // uart output
#include "osapi.h" // timer
#include "os_type.h" // timer
  • Also some extra definition at the beginning:
os_timer_t mytimer;

//void uart0_send_str(uint8 *buf); //not necessary line

Send_str(void) // define timer function
{
	uart0_send_str("\r\n Electrodragon \r\n");
}
  • in the void user_init (application entry)
uart_init(BIT_RATE_115200,BIT_RATE_115200); // start the UART

os_timer_disarm(&mytimer); // dis_arm the timer
os_timer_setfn(&mytimer, (os_timer_func_t *)Send_str, NULL); // set the timer function, dot get os_timer_func_t to force function convert
os_timer_arm(&mytimer, 1000, 1); // arm the timer, 1000 repeat, repeat always

GPIO Control

  • Reference code in IoT is user_plug.c
  • GPIO16 will be used alone as gpio16.h
  • Set Pin function PIN_FUNC_SELECT(PIN_NAME, FUNC), pi name refer to eagle_soc.h, func for example FUNC_GPIO13
  • GPIO_OUTPUT_SET(gpio_no, bit_value) set gpio_no output bit_value (more simple than gpio_output_set)
  • Basic example
void My_LED_Init(void)
{
    // config GPIO12 13 14 16 as normal GPIO
 	PIN_FUNC_SELECT(PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTDI_U,FUNC_GPIO12);
 	PIN_FUNC_SELECT(PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTDI_U,FUNC_GPIO15);
	PIN_FUNC_SELECT(PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTDI_U,FUNC_GPIO13);
	PIN_FUNC_SELECT(PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTDI_U,FUNC_GPIO14);
       GPIO_OUTPUT_SET(GPIO_ID_PIN(12), 0);
	GPIO_OUTPUT_SET(GPIO_ID_PIN(13), 0);// default low
	GPIO_OUTPUT_SET(GPIO_ID_PIN(14), 0);
	GPIO_OUTPUT_SET(GPIO_ID_PIN(15), 0);
	
}

ADC (DHT11)

  • Demo code for DHT11 can be found at this link
  • Add code files to app/user, and replace the code entry file user_main.c, will work

PWM control

  • pwm_init void (see page 61 at SDK docs)
  • inlclude header file /driver/pwm.h in user main.c
#define PWM_0_OUT_IO_MUX PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTDI_U
#define PWM_0_OUT_IO_NUM 12
#define PWM_0_OUT_IO_FUNC  FUNC_GPIO12

#define PWM_1_OUT_IO_MUX PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTDO_U
#define PWM_1_OUT_IO_NUM 15
#define PWM_1_OUT_IO_FUNC  FUNC_GPIO15

#define PWM_2_OUT_IO_MUX PERIPHS_IO_MUX_MTCK_U
#define PWM_2_OUT_IO_NUM 13
#define PWM_2_OUT_IO_FUNC  FUNC_GPIO13
  • Demo code
unit8 PWM_CH[]= (0, 0, 0);
unit16 freq = 1000;

pwm_init(freq, PWM_CH[]);

while(1)
{
pwm_set_duty(PWM_CH[2], 0);
pwm_start();
PWM_CH[2]+=1;
if(PWM_CH[2]>99)
   PWM_CH[2] =0;
delay_ms(80);
}
  • Hardware can use a 4 pins PWM DIP LEDs from our store
  • Hardware wiring:

Sample code R1

The task of this sample code

  • The board ESP-01 must switch to STA (Wi-Fi client) to connect to our AP.
  • Once the connection to the AP, you must install TCP-connection to the PC and send the test string.
  • GPIO0 connect button for the closure send a text string.
  • The procedure of sending repeated every 5 seconds.

Open the file user \ user_main.c The basic procedure, which is performed at the start of the firmware is

//Init function 
void ICACHE_FLASH_ATTR
user_init()
{
}

In the beginning of the file user \ user_main.c add header files:

#include "ets_sys.h"
#include "osapi.h"
#include "os_type.h"
#include "user_interface.h"
#include "driver/uart.h"
#include "espconn.h"
#include "mem.h"
#include "gpio.h"
#include "user_config.h"

Data files, except user_config.h and driver / uart.h are C: \ Espressif \ ESP8266_SDK \ include \

  • ets_sys.h - particular IP structure and determination to work with events and timers
  • osapi.h - timers and some system functions such os_strcat, os_memcpy, os_delay_us etc.
  • os_type.h - mapinga structures of ets_sys.h
  • user_interface.h - a lot of support structures and procedures API, in particular for working with wi-fi, procedures system_restart, system_deep_sleep etc.
  • espconn.h - the main file API with structures and procedures for working with TCP and UDP connections
  • mem.h - work with memory, os_malloc, os_free etc.
  • gpio.h - support structures and procedures API to work with GPIO

The verification procedure is done on the forehead, without any elimination of contact bounce, the mind needs to be done differently, just as will be seen below, that does not go senddata no verification at raising interface wi-fi, that should also be taken into account.
