Wow, that has lots of possibilities. Fun to try that out. Is it an additional hardware board or native to the ESP32 chip? I looked but didn't find what you showed below.

That idea could work if you were only interested in text characters (because the high bit is being used). You would also have to have the speed of the stream going to the PC at least twice the speed of the stream you are monitoring, unless you knew that only one direction of the monitored stream wou...

I might still have some Kim-1 programs on tape somewhere. I did a lot with that one back in the day.  On Dec 6, 2015, at 7:28 AM, ZBasic <zbasic.forum@zbasic.net ( zbasic.forum@zbasic.net )> wrote: GTBecker wrote: My first micro was an 8008 I was tad later.. 6052 ..

My need for this came up suddenly and I will not have time to develop it now. I will have to buy something this time. I can probably buy the cheapest WiFi thermostat at Home Depot and use that. I don't have time for mail order this time. I do hope to have time to make one with Zbasic later when I ha...

How hard would it be to make a wifi temperature sensor. Can the esp8266 handle the 1-wire temp sensors? I need a wifi temp sensor in two day. I probably can't get this to work that fast...

Update - I had an ESP-03 module and got it working. I then successfully downloaded s few  of the demo programs for Zbasic. The reset pin didn't work so I used the manual method applying power to the module instead of using reset. There appears to be a small jumper that I need to connect on the ESP-0...

When working with the ESP8266, what should the two serial port settings be set to? I see in the examle program Option ConsoleSpeed is set to 230400. Should both be set to that?

I did have a 10K pullup on CH-PD. It is soldered to the pads on the board. I found it was necessary to get the "AT" firmware that came on the ESP-01 to work. I removed the ground on GPIO0 shortly after the download started and before the download finished. Now when I reset the ESP-01 both ...

Don, Yes, I did what you say below, and got an affirmative message that the download succeeded.  The program did not run automatically, so after about a minute or two, I pressed the reset button (GPIO not grounded). I had my scope connected to GPIO2 and I didn't see the voltage change. Sometimes a l...

I've been trying to get my ESP-01 module to work wit Zbasic. I had it working with a terminal program using the AT commands with no problem. After a few tries I used the manual method and downloaded the "Hello World example. It showed the dots and said downloading, then said it was complete wit...

I can't find the examples mentioned above. I only found the blinking Led example. Where are the example ESP8266 programs located?

FYI - I would keep the ESP8266 stuff in a separate manual since it is a different platform and works differently than the AVR Zbasic.

Don, Thanks for the great explanation on how the ESP8266 works.  I am not very familiar with the Arduino, but have read about it some. The ESP8266 seems to work the reverse other systems I have used, those let you write a program of most any length and the network service routine just periodically i...

Don, In the manual you wrote for the ESP8266 you mentioned that the Zbasic program will be essentially be a subroutine that will called every so often by the ESP8266 chip. As mentioned, that will require the programmer to make sure their program will execute in less than 30 ms. How do we know when t...

Don, You were right on the pin information. Several were NOT correct. I copied and pasted them from the sellers website where they were wrong. I sent the seller a message about the error. Lucky for me I used the picture you mentioned when I wired up my board. It now works for me using the "AT&q...

Don - I am getting ready to try out your new ZBasic for the ESP8266. I am having difficulty figuring out how to connect my module to the computer to work properly. I have the ESP-01 module. I do not have a schematic, but this is the connector pinouts that were given: 1. GND - ground 2. UTXD - serial...
