You want to erase the flash of the ESP32 first! Otherwise, it will not boot! To flash/install see the included flashing_instructions.txt.

The attached zip file includes all pre-compiled binaries that are ready to flash. For detailed instructions please visit the wiki

Changelog:

• Added compiled binaries for esp32, esp32c3, esp32s2 & esp32s3
• Fixed UDP broadcast bug, when multiple clients are connected to the esp32 access point
• ESP32 in client mode can now connect to WEP enabled WiFi networks
• Fixed packet loss bug when two esp32s were talking to each other (one in client mode, the other one in ap mode)

The attached zip file includes all pre-compiled binaries that are ready to flash.

Changelog:

• Pushed to esp-idf v5.1.2
• Added support for ESP32C3
• Fixed bug with number only SSID or Wifi password
• Fixed load times and failed loads of the website by minifying and including the CSS and JS code
• No pre-defined pins for the UART. If both pins are set to the same number (like initially) then the UART will not be opened. User has to define the TX & RX pins initially. That way there is only one image for all boards necessary.

Known Issues:

• Load errors may occur on the ESP32C3 when in AP-Mode and accessed via PC/Desktop browser. Android mobile browsers performed well.

Erase the flash of the ESP32 first! To flash see the Github Readme or run:

esptool.py -p (PORT) -b 460800 --before default_reset --after hard_reset  write_flash --flash_mode dio --flash_size detect --flash_freq 40m 0x1000 bootloader.bin 0x8000 partition-table.bin 0x10000 db_esp32.bin 0x110000 www.bin

If the DroneBridgeESP32_v1_2 build does not work (no startup etc.) please choose the DroneBridgeESP32_v1_2_alt_UART_conf. Some boards have the flash chip connected to pins 16/17. In that case the alt. UART conf. version has pins 32/33 configured. If you are using a Pico board, like the TinyPico or M5Stack Atom Lite please use the alternative build. The other one will not work.

Changelog:

• Added WiFi client mode support - ESP32 can now connect to existing WiFi instead of creating an access point on its own
• Enhancements for the web interface: Support for new modes, hide unnecessary config options depending on the current config
• re-base onto esp-idf 4.4.6
• Fixed bugs related to country code settings

• Configure SSID
• Configure WiFi channel

• MSP & LTM UDP forwarding fix
• Auto broadcasting of messages to UDP:14550 to all connected stations. No config required for QGroundControl

• Fixed performance issues

• Based on latest ESP-IDF
• Uses TCP instead of UDP (multiple simultaneous connections)
• Improved communication module
• Tested with MAVLink, DroneBridge for android v1.3 & QGroundControl
• Removed unnecessary settings
• Needs testing with LTM/MSP
