Topic: DaVinci + ESP8266 wifi module

Hi for the ones who want to try to put wifi on their DAVINCI/repetier fw with a 5$ wifi module
Go here and try it : https://github.com/luc-github/ESP8266 - this fw is in beta stage now

Actually should work with any board/FW as soon as both serial (board and module) are able to communicate.

Thanks Luc. I bought 3.  Hopefully I can figure out how to get it up and running.

Re: DaVinci + ESP8266 wifi module

Cool let me know how it goes.
which model did you bought ?
currently I use ESP-01 on printer but I am limited with flash size (512K)  to have nice UI (File system is limited to 52K...) but it is working well.
I develop on NodeMCU 1.0  because has USB2TLL embedded and 4M flash,unfortunately not good for printer due to some garbage but I can develop/test better UI.
and yesterday I ordered ESP-12E with 4M flash and embedded 3.3v controller, for same price as ESP-01!!!! - once tested I will also feedback.

I have no idea.  I just got them on Ebay and it didn't mention one or the other.
