Maybe you can write some tutorial on how to get this working? would be great.

I would like to use this to transfer the file to sd-card and than give it a start command.
Possible?

Thanks]]> CaptainSpark Controllers Mon, 22 Feb 2016 17:11:01 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,587707#msg-587707 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,587707#msg-587707 DeltaDavey Controllers Sun, 22 Nov 2015 22:39:05 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,558514#msg-558514 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,558514#msg-558514 How do I get software from second post?
Anyone used this yet?

I've got the ESP8266 up-and-running on the AZSMZ and it works fine for 'control' traffic when calibrating or testing but I don't think I'd trust it for printing directly. The FlashAir would remove need to swap SD cards back and forth, sounds great!

The cost of the board is so close to that of a smoothie that it's not worth taking the chance for $20.

I have already added Bluetooth to the Smoothie, putting an ESP on shouldn't present any problems -and there's no need to modify any firmware, the Smoothie is already set up to use an external UART. It's just a matter of programming the ESP to join your WiFi network.

What is needed is a TCP serial interface, but I'm sure I have one of those about the place, somewhere, I can press into service.

Looks like this is tomorrow's tech challenge.

I'm not quite sure about the $20 difference.
Smoothie X5 = $150
AZSMZ mini = $50 + cost of 5 DVR8825 stepper drivers (~$10 from banggood)

At any rate, my USB problems were quickly resolved and were related to smoothieware mounting the SD card as an MSD, not the AZSMZ board itself.
Used version of smoothieware with MSD disabled and it works great.
As far as the ESP8266 is concerned, the serial interface turned out to be to slow to transfer large G-code files anyway. That was what I was interested in. Problem solved by simply plugging in a Toshiba FlashAir SD card and enabling the upload mode. Even the largest G-code files only take a couple of seconds to do a WiFi upload. Wired connection to the AZSMZ mini no longer required.]]> KDan Controllers Sun, 30 Aug 2015 19:14:19 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,524852#msg-524852 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,524852#msg-524852

This should pretty much eliminate the need to use the USB cable since I prefer to print from SD card anyway.
I doubt that spooling G-code across WiFi is going to work reliably, but if I can copy G-code files to the SD card via Wifi, that might allow me to bypass all these USB issues.

Can you supply a modified Smoothie firmware? Also, what ESP8266 firmware are you using?]]> KDan Controllers Mon, 20 Apr 2015 10:17:48 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,499354#msg-499354 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,499354#msg-499354

thanks.

Please share the source code so we can use the modified firmware]]> TRoager Controllers Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:05:28 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498750#msg-498750 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498750#msg-498750 cxandy Controllers Sat, 18 Apr 2015 19:13:18 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498749#msg-498749 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498749#msg-498749
Super cool I see the place where you solder this, any special connections or jumpers? Looks you made the pcb designed for this chip ahead of time!:)


Can you post the firmware/source code so I can try it as well?]]> mikes3ds Controllers Sat, 18 Apr 2015 19:02:36 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498731#msg-498731 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498731#msg-498731
Are you have AZSMZ 12864 LCD, and the ESP8266 need modified firmware.]]> cxandy Controllers Sat, 18 Apr 2015 18:11:35 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498702#msg-498702 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498702#msg-498702
Any source code for this I can test? How about using the smoothie firmware with this module?

This is really cool I have a AZSMZ, going to buy that wifi module and see if I can get it working as well]]> mikes3ds Controllers Sat, 18 Apr 2015 16:46:27 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498309#msg-498309 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498309#msg-498309 Are you trying to use wifi to connect to your printer while running host software on a remote computer?
Do you expect host software connected by wifi to be as reliable as printing from an SD card on the controller board?
Why?]]> the_digital_dentist Controllers Fri, 17 Apr 2015 17:22:17 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498135#msg-498135 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498135#msg-498135 vreihen Controllers Fri, 17 Apr 2015 11:23:22 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498102#msg-498102 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498102#msg-498102 [attachment 53050 repetier_setup.PNG]]]> cxandy Controllers Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:09:33 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498101#msg-498101 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498101#msg-498101 cxandy Controllers Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:08:34 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498100#msg-498100 Re: Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498100#msg-498100 cxandy Controllers Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:08:12 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498099#msg-498099 Try AZSMZ Mini to wifi print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,498099,498099#msg-498099 cxandy Controllers Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:07:53 -0400
