file server from ESP8266 with SD card
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2016 4:46 pm
Hello all, I have a project in mind but wanted to check in with the group before I dive in over my head.
Is it possible to set up like a Network file server with the ESP attached to a SD card? I see examples where there are webserver but I am not sure if a file server would do the same thing? For example, I want to point my webbrowser to a IP address on the ESP and see the files on the SD card for using it like an MP3 file or upload or download files. More specifically, I have filebrowser app on my iphone. Am I able to use the app and upload and download files using the app?
How feasible is this given the bandwidth and speed and also stability. Would it be stable enough to download like 5MB file? My idea is to take the Sd card from my camera and insert it into this ESP module and connect to the ESP wifi with my iphone and view and download the files on the card...
any suggestions or general guidance would be appreciated
