I a looking for a code that can use websocket with mdns I mean I want to use ws://esp8266.local: 81 instead of ws://192.168.0.2:81

Hello?

Hi, I’m a newbie to the world of ESP8266 and ESP32, so, please, don’t be too severe if my question seems trivial. I’m trying without success to connect a D1 Mini Pro esp8266 based to a PC with OS W11. The USB-TO-UART BRIDGE chip on the board is SIL 2104 and I’ve already the drivers installed and working properly with ESP32. However when I connect the ESP8266 the message " USB device not recognized" appears and in device manager "descriptor request failed". In drivers properties silabser.sys is not uploaded. Please, help me to solve this problem

hi

What are the most used NTP Pool servers apart from pool.ntp.org?

hii i am swati todi. I am pursuing PhD from JNU, new delhi. I want to work on ESP8266 07 module. i want to operate its external antenna, for whihc some changes on the wifi module chip has to be made. Please let me know what changes are to be done on wifi module to activate its external antenna?

@ swatitodi1990 - : if your 07 module has a connector for external antenna, check if the related jumper should be soldered or de-soldered. De solder the internal antena and connect your external antenna to the external antenna connector

Hi everyone. serial.print() for debugging.Now I have removed them but they appear again in serial monitor! note that i use erase_flash before uploading the code to clear the flash. I also tried to program the first code (without any debugging `serial.print`) on a **new** module and again saw the debugging prints in serial monitor!! Does anybody have an idea? I am working with ESP-12E module and use PlatformIO to program my module.

A fatal esptool.py error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP8266: Invalid head of packet (0x00). [RX goes to RX on arduino, TX to TX, GPIO 0 is connected to ground, and CH_PD is high.

This is my first time working with the esp aand arduini programs. Im trying to make my board apear as another wifi name and have a back page to be able to change thjngs like the name it show etc any one have the code to cut and paste into it?

No, but WLED source code should have that in it...

Hi, i have a problem with nodemcu v2. I connected a led strip on pin TX but now the board does not boot up. I know that TX must be high at boot and infact if i connected a small resistor from 3v to TX and everything now works fine. But is it safe? will i burn something? thank you

Can you computer still read the board when you plug it in?

Hello does anyone have experience with the ESP8266 as a web server and slider in the web interface? I would like to dim a 230V light bulb with the slider via Wi-Fi. On the AC side, a module from Robotdyn is to be used. Do you already have any thoughts about this?

How can I obtain weather info? I just want to make a function that returns a value such as "cloudy" or "sunny" in my local vecinity (in Spain). I’ve been scratching my head all afternoon without any progress. Thanks in advance!
