An esp8266 based wifi lcd

Post by eeyrw »

I design an esp8266 based wifi hardware and write the dll for it.
You can check the dll and hardware:

Great.
Since esp8266 is a extremely popular chip , I think this give huge potential to LCD Smartie.
I'm going to test it ASAP.

While this project is quite promising, the code on Github seems to be buggy.

I tried to compile and create a WiFi module but I'm stuck on a issue.
https://github.com/eeyrw/LcdTcp/issues/ ... 1117948097

Unfortunately I can't find a solution to this and while I'm able to receive data on the hardware side I cant get them displayed to the LCD module whilst the startup message is displayed correctly on the screen.

I know this is an OLD project but if someone can dig into the source code and provide a solution this would be great.
