I think the work you have put into this project is a credit to you and what you have done so far is great!

I have bean playing with the code for this and some of the other linked projects and have not bean able to get anything happening. So I thought I would try the pre-compiled  file.

I have downloaded your hex bin file for ESP8266 node MCU and flashed it. I can connect to the WiFi and does not ask for a pass word. It comes up as FaryLink_CEAA52 the IP is 92.168.4.2 if enter into a browser I get a cannot be found message. If I open the serial monitor in Arduino and rest the ESP I get

NodeMCU 0.9.5 build 20150318 powered by Lua 5.1.4
lua: cannot open init.lua

I thought my ESP was a V2 however is has the elongated chip so maybe it is a V3 Do you have any idea what  I should try to get it going?

There is something else you may be able to tel me, with disco mode is the sequencing in the remote or in the bulb?

Thanks.

I have downloaded the project file from GitHub and unzipped it. Then created a project with Arduino IDE named ESP8266-MyLight-Hub. In the unziped GitHub files in the SRC folder there is a the main file, I have copied the code from mane to my Arduino ESP8266-MyLight-Hub file. In the lib folder there are folders complaining library files .cpp and .h I have copied these folders and their contents to documents/arduino/libraries directory, along with a few other files that Arduino was asking for.

When I verify/Compile I get Errors, Arduino keeps asking for more libraries it seems there are libraries calling libraries. I cannot find all these libraries and the ones that I have found I am uncertain if I have the best alright ones. Somehow I don’t think I am setting the project up right, the structure does not look like something for Arduino. The structure looks more like something for code blocks no some other ide.

Can anyone help with how to set up the project on Arduino ide. Or possibly a cut down version, just ESP8266 remote, something really simple able to just turn on 4 or 5 colours flat out.

Are you interested in looking at the MiLight SYS cable protocol?  its 3 wires (0v, 24vDC, data), its likely a cutdown version of DMX for a single fitting as its part of there DMX range, each fitting has 5 colors (RGBCW, WW), there controller will only receive a propriety WiFI (not the same as the MiLight wireless) and i would like to drive there lights with just a Arduino, which is possible if the data wire can be decoded, it might even be a standard 5 color existing LED driver, i really have no idea, i can program, not decode.

Many Thanks

Kind regards

Theoretically yes, but the code in my project is very tied to the ESP8266 platform.
