Let's Control It

Hello,
where can I download ESPEasy 4MB (ESPEasy.....4M1M.bin) for ESP8266 NodeMCU ?

On Github I only find: ESPEasy_2step_UploaderMega_1024.bin.

Kind Regards

Juergen B.

You should go to https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases, scroll past the release notes and open the Assets link where you find several archives, and download this one for ESP82xx (contains both ESP8266 and ESP8285 .bin files)
You first connect your NodeMcu to your computer, so it is properly recognized.
The archive includes the flash tool (ESPEasy flasher), that will present all .bin files from the bin directory. After selecting either a 'normal' or 'test' build for ESP8266 and 4M1M, the rest should be easy.
Future updates can be installed via the browser using the Firmware update button on the Tools tab.

Hello,
many thanks for the quick response.
Good thing I asked, because that (Assets) would not have occurred to me.

Kind Regards

Hi all !

Being stuck for too long.. I dare ask ..
I need test_b firmware for ESP-01 that have only 1meg of flash.
Files like "ESP_Easy_mega_20211224_normal_ESP8266_1M.bin" flash ok and works beautifully !

Now files like "ESP_Easy_mega_20211224_test_B_beta_ESP8266_4M1M.bin" shouldn't they be compatible too since "1M" being in the name ??

They do flash ok but there's no boot at all on my devices ...

I tried the compile route..
Unfortunately, I feel way unskilled or lost during the tuto "Tutorial building and uploading with platformio", having the impression that this latter is outdated.
I can quote...

-Nowadays github archives releases architecture does not look the same (for newbies like me)
-F7 keyboard key does no longer give the same meaning full options ( "test" or "_1024" builds etc )

So I'd rather carry on the prebuilt binaries route and keep thinking that there must be a 1M test_B prebuilt image (or way to flash it) that should work for my ESP-01.

I have designed and built several devices that did accept ok the "ESP_Easy_mega-20181017_test_ESP8266_1024.bin" at the time ..., and now need newer espeasy FW to fix some MQTT errors with deepspleep.

Any income would make me so happy ..

Thanks

Already for a couple of years, the 1MB flash devices and the TEST builds don't go along nicely, as the compiled .bin doesn't fit in the code-space available on such unit. That's why a custom build, including only the plugins you actually need, looks like the best way out for these devices.
The name having 4M1M actually means 4MB Flash, of which 1MB is reserved for the file system. This is explained on the frontpage of the Github repo (via the readme.md file) here: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/

Not sure which manual you are pointing at, but this recent addition, aimed at beginner-developers might get you going.

And also look at the Youtube TD-er made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArqwMcYSMsU

The "4M1M" describes the partitioning of the flash.
4M is the size, 1M is the file system.
For the 1M flash we only have builds with 1 partitioning, so that's called "1M" but analog to the "4M1M" notation it should have been "1M128k"

Thanks you very much for your income, I can now compile my own custum fw !

Great, another developer joins the pack
