    ESP8266 Simplest prototype:

    - Optional external ram (23LCV1024) support (1:CS/=GPIO16 2:MISO=GPIO12 3:NC 4:GND 5:MOSI=GPIO13 6:SCK=GPIO14 7:GND 8:3.3v)

    Attention:
    The optional led is now on GPIO2. The blue led on the ESP8266 is blinking at the same rate.
    GPIO16 is now the Chip select for the external ram if any.
    The external ram is detected at boot time if present.

    To upgrade to this release, please flash user1.4096.new.4.bin at 0x1000 ,
    user2.4096.new.4.bin at 0X81000 and blank.bin at 0x7e000 & 0x3fe000
    After that, all next updates are done with the On The Air (OTA) feature.
    New binaries are hosted at http://karadio.karawin.fr .

    Loading the esp8266

    First use

    • If the access point of your router is not known, the webradio initializes itself as an AP. Connect your wifi to the ssid "WifiWebRadio",
    • Browse to 192.164.4.1 to display the page, got to "setting" "Wifi" and configure your ssid ap, the password if any, the wanted IP or use dhcp if you know how to retrieve the dhcp given ip (terminal or scan of the network).
    • In the gateway field, enter the ip address of your router.
    • Validate. The equipment restart to the new configuration. Connect your wifi to your AP and browse to the ip given in configuration.
    • Congratulation, you can edit your own station list....

    I personally think that the red VS1053B modules e. g. http://www.ebay.de/itm/VS1053-MP3-Module-with-SD-card-slot-VS1053B-Ogg-real-time-recording-for-Arduino-/272508590908?hash=item3f72c71b3c:g:1ogAAOSwUKxYa5fD are much better than the blue ones labeled "lcsoft studio" or "lc technology". These were or damaged at arrival or dead after a few hours and don't have pin 34 pulled down (mp3 enabled at startup see http://www.bajdi.com/lcsoft-vs1053-mp3-module/ ).

    Jean-Pierre Cocatrix wrote 06/13/2017 at 20:19 • point

    I own all models lcsoft, red one and alientek (more complete than other) and all play for month now without problem.

    The pin 34 is not a problem with the software patch.

      Are you sure? yes | no

    ldv82 wrote 05/30/2017 at 13:44 • point

    Most likely, this depends on the compatibility of VS1053 and DAC. You will use an external DAC instead of the built-in VS1053.

      Are you sure? yes | no

    Jean-Pierre Cocatrix wrote 05/30/2017 at 16:37 • point

    I am not an expert on DAC. All I know is:
    ##I2S speed: 0, 0=48kHz, 1=96kHz, 2=192kHz#
    from the vs1053.

    on version 1.1.5 strange problem. if you have installed memory and increase the volume of the radio goes silent. only a reboot helps. if the memory is to retrieve all works. checked all the connection is correct.

    aqvarius-sey wrote 05/18/2017 at 10:05 • point

    hi! in the beginning I want to say thank you for a great project! I have a question to the Creator. updated from version 1.1.5 to 1.2.1. buttons connected to an analog input. problems: 1. when adjusting the volume there is no smooth adjustment while holding the button. 2. when you press short the volume randomly changes (jumps from low to high and back). in version 1.1.5 often, she cleared the EEPROM in the esp8266, you need to re-set the network settings, and list of stations.

    Hey,

    I’ve got a similar problem, sometimes stops the VS Coding and needs a reset. The NodeMCU and Website keep working well, but the speaker didn’t get a signal from the decoder. It seems to happen randomly, sometimes after 20min and othertimes the systems run over hours perfectly.


    I use an NodeMCU connected to an Arduino (for the OLED and a FM transmitter), buttons and such an VS1053: http://www.ebay.de/itm/VS1053-MP3-Module-Development-Board-w-On-Board-Recording-Function-SPI-Interface-/291596880495?hash=item43e4874a6f:g:gm4AAOSwEK9Tw2qE

    It could be a pointer issue of the VS, when I stream from my Shoutcast-Server with 320kbps stereo it feels like the problem comes earlier as if I stream with 98kbps mono signal.

    Hi, the ntp client is a fantastic new feature, for some reason the time is returning as UTC +1. When I add my tzo ("+8") the clock reads one hour ahead. I have changed my tzo to +7 to give me the correct time for now. Will you be correcting this in the future. We don't have dst where I live, so thats not the issue.

    Thomas wrote 02/18/2017 at 10:05 • point

    Hi JP, i already found but dont understand. Is it 192.168.2.136/sys.uart("19200") for example? This Dont Work so i guess my Syntax ist wrong

      Are you sure? yes | no

    Jean-Pierre Cocatrix wrote 02/18/2017 at 10:11 • point

    Two different interfaces: 
    On browser:

    192.168.2.136/?uart   revert the uart to 115200 until a reset. Useful in case you don't remind the current speed.

    But on the uart interface (serial on tx rx)
    sys.uart("115200")
    Or other speed to change the uart baud rate on the next reset and forever until another sys.uart command.

    115200 is the default. Before connecting a display controller, you must change to 28800.

      Are you sure? yes | no

    Thomas wrote 02/18/2017 at 10:23 • point

    Ok, its a pitty. I  thought it could be adjusted on browser also. Is it possible to read the curren setting of baud on the browser? I unfortunatly have no communication between display controller and Esp . And want to check this first before Disassemble my Radio to connect it to a computer.

      Are you sure? yes | no

    Thomas wrote 02/20/2017 at 11:07 • point

    Hi JP i know that your Standard setting is 28800. But i changed it both to 19200 because 28800 is not selectable with Arduino Serial Monitor. This works fine for me, also with IR Receiver on a pro Mni with 8 Mhz and 3,3 Volts.

    In the past i had sometimes trouble with self changing settings on the Baudrate.

    But in this case i checked now with computer, it hasnt changed.  I detached the esp Module and mount it again, and now Display works again.

    It seems that my build on a protoboard is not much better than on a breadboard.
