my name is Vlatko, and I am a co-founder of a educational robotics startup STEMI.
I am considering the idea that the robot in question is controlled over WiFi with ESP8266.
I have succeeded in doing so on a NodeMCU development board ( ESP-12E) using lua scripts, and I am very pleased with it.
But I still have an issue that I have yet to resolve:I need to be able to flash around 150 ESPs with NodeMCU firmware + my custom lua scripts and html/css/js files.
Is there a way to build NodeMCU firmware containing my custom files on the filesystem into one binary blob that I could just pass to the factory and get 150 ESP8266s preprogrammed?
Or it is maybe possible to "rip" the current flash memory of my prototype ESP8266 and obtain a binary blob that way?
Thanks for reading this,
I really hope this is possible somehow so i do not have to rewrite all these scripts in C.
