ESP3D Firmware:
- ESP3D FW version: FW: 2.1.3b0
- ESP3D-WebUI Version: UI: 2.1b77
- Wifi mode: STA
- Flash method: [PlatformIO] Have used both, Arduino IDE 2.2.1 {to set FS size and full erase when got json error}
If you build with Arduino:- Arduino ESP8266 package version: [e.g. 2.5.2]
Generic ESP8266
- Arduino ESP8266 package version: [e.g. 2.5.2]
Target Firmware:
Marlin bugfix-2.1.x (Jan 1 2024 23:40:20)
Board used (please complete the following information):
- MCU:[ESP8266 ESP12S]
- Name:[MKS Wifi]
- Flash size: [4M: 2M/2M]
Additional context
I previously had IP address shown using ESP8266 D1 mini and ramps 1,4 Atmega2560 with LCD 12864 / LCD 2004
I am now using MKS Wifi with MKS Robin Nano V3,1 and TS35 V2,0 but no IP address, but everything else works fine
have tried with and without #define DISABLE_CONNECTING_MSG
have tried changing Delay esp3d.h and still not IP, using 12s as it allows it to start and show firmware boot message in console of ESP3D.
Thank your for submiting, please be sure you followed template or your issue may be dismissed. if you deleted the template it is here
Does the IP appear on TFT if you do an [ESP444]RESTART in webui terminal ?
What is the zip file for ?
Zip File contains my config.h and esp3d.h so you can check my setting.
no you put wrong file, you put config.cpp not .h
here correct file.
esp3d.zip
Does the IP appear on TFT if you do an [ESP444]RESTART in webui terminal ?
I currently printing , I will update later in about half an hour to complete print.
also does any command work from WEBUI to monitor / control printer ?
[ESP444]RESTART show disconnected on TFT
even when reconnects and i read sdcard or send command.
all commands work , gcode, mcode and [ESPcodes]
I can homee, set and monitor temp, fan, read and upload and print from sdcard/
everything seems to work ok , just no ip address on start up or reset
I can send text to TFT using M117 from ESP3D console of webui
does [ESP111]M117 display the IP ?
Only in Webui console
[ESP111]M117
M117192.168.1.11
I have already tried to do same as custom command sent from printer, but not display
#define CONFIG_MENU_ITEM_1_DESC "Wifi IP ?"
#define CONFIG_MENU_ITEM_1_GCODE "M118 [ESP111]"
and even adding M117 but no display on TFT but shows IP on console or/and echo:Unknown command: in webui console.
what about : M117 192.168.1.11 from webUI terminal
Yes that displays 192.168.1.1 on TFT
M117 works from console no problem.
would adding space character before IP address allow M117 to show IP
[ESP111]M117
M117192.168.1.11 change to this M117 192.168.1.1
yes you can add space to end
[ESP111]M117
that shows in console
[ESP111]M117
M117192.168.1.11
and no IP on TFT/LCD
I like to get IP to show on LCD, but if it cant its ok, I can get IP from router if neeeded, and DHCP saves it for a time also.
Also it shows IP in AP when doing fiirst setup to upload index.html.gz
I dont want to give you head ache from this or waste your time,
I happy to test to get it to work but but if it cant it no great problem.
ESP3D works fine and the MKS file transfer is great compared to the glacial slow transfer of standard serial wifi.
I mainly just use to send console commands when configuring options for marlin firmware updates.
I am checking on it because the code is very old, I am adding possible solution now, 2.1 use HK wifi method not serial solution for emulating MKS WiFi module so I may missed that in 2.1
but I do not understand :
ESP3D works fine and the MKS file transfer is great compared to the glacial slow transfer of standard serial wifi.
ESP3D 2.1 does not support MKS file transfert only ESP3D 3.0 so I do not understand : how can you have fast file transfert on 2.1 ?
Its seems to work you have the option in config.h
//MKS TFT WIFI support see Wiki for wiring
#define MKS_TFT_FEATURE
I can not get ESP3D 3.0 to work no wifi comms have tried twice,but ESP3D 2,0 work well
what the main differences of 2.1 vs 3.0 ?
MKS_TFT_FEATURE just allow MKS TFT to get IP in settings and so make the communication active, it does not do anything on file upload
3.0 is a complete rewrite and has native support of MKS WIFI
I think it is fixed now I have tested with your config
Maybe it just placebo , lol
I use USB stick for transfer as my PC is next to my printer.
I will reflash firmware with MKS TFT WIFI disabled. maybe thats the issue
//MKS TFT WIFI support see Wiki for wiring
//#define MKS_TFT_FEATURE
if you do this the TFT may think there is not WIFI module, just download the FW on git I have already pushed the fix
460a145
Thats it now see IP
now shows
Wifi ssid
disconnect
IP
MY wifi in on mainboard
I will update to latest 2.1 ?
yes or change the code I have linked to esp3d.cpp
Working OK
see IP on TFT
Thank you for you help fixing this.
very happy.
cool thank you for reporting it 😺
I close issue then
yes thank you.
