Cat Lamp http server

This repository contains code to my tiny server running on esp8266 module, which is embedded in a sliglty hacked RGB cat lamp.

The source code is based on the FreeRTOS based sdk provided by espressif.

Set up the repository

ESP8266_RTOS_SDK is added as a submodule and should be set-up as instructed by espressif in their README, after cloning the submodule.

python -m venv esp_venv
. esp_venv/bin/activate
git submodule update --init --checkout
cd ESP8266_RTOS_SDK
pip install -r requirements.txt
./install.sh
. export.sh

Downlaod the toolchain they provide and either add it to PATH or edit the build command using make menuconfig.

If it's set up correctly, you should be able to build one of the examples, like:

make -D ESP8266_RTOS_SDK/examples/hello_world

Building

When the repository is set up, simply run:

make

To flash the board, run:

make flash

To get the serial console run:

make monitor
