]]> I just gotten into the mood of trying out firmwares for the ESP8266. There is one that behaves similar to a busybox command line tool. Download the binary from here, flash it to the ESP8266 and connect to it over the serial channel: https://github.com/nekromant/esp8266-frankenstein

So far I’ve used the serial console built into the Arduino IDE. But that’s not always a compelling choice. On a Unix/Posix system you also can use:

screen /dev/tty.usbserial 115200

Have fun! ]]> https://blog.squix.org/2014/12/esp8266-trying-out-frankenstein-firmware.html/feed 1 74
