ESP32 port for the Web Interface

Post by 0xBedz »

Hello everyone, hope you're all well!

Having just built my first inverter PCB, I realized I don't have any ESP8266's lying around for that handy web interface, but I do have a lot of ESP32's. So instead of just buying some 8266's, I've ported the code to run on the ESP32...

As far as compatibility goes it should work exactly the same; however I didn't have the time to port over the SWD update functionality yet so I have just omitted it for now, so those buttons on the web interface don't work.

Thumbs up :)
Also a good sharing possibility to use multiple serial ports

Thanks!

I think so too, with the ESP32 having 3 hardware serial ports, you could communicate with 3 inverters with just the standard hardware alone.
Add in the fact that the ESP32 can multiplex its peripherals to almost any pin, you could -in theory- switch back and forth between pairs of pins connected to even more inverters!

I'm probably getting carried away here.... :lol:

sorry for the noob question, but how do we get this onto an ep32 board? The 8266 interface has an arduino sketch, but I'm missing what to do with this...
