# ConnectionHelper [![Platform I/O CI](https://github.com/Johboh/ConnectionHelper/actions/workflows/platformio.yaml/badge.svg)](https://registry.platformio.org/libraries/johboh/ConnectionHelper) [![ESP-IDF](https://github.com/Johboh/ConnectionHelper/actions/workflows/espidf.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Johboh/ConnectionHelper/actions/workflows/espidf.yaml) [![GitHub release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/Johboh/ConnectionHelper.svg)](https://github.com/Johboh/ConnectionHelper/releases) Arduino (using Arduino IDE or Platform I/O) and ESP-IDF (using Espressif IoT Development Framework or Platform I/O) compatible library for setting up WiFi and OTA (Over The Air) I found myself repeating the WiFI and OTA setup in all my projects so I made a reusable library for it. ### OTA support #### Arduino framework - ArduinoOTA (using the Arduino IDE, Platform I/O and using `upload_protocol = espota` or using the esp IDF command line options, `espota`.) - Upload via Web UI using the [ElegantOTA](https://github.com/ayushsharma82/ElegantOTA) web UI provided update tool. #### ESP-IDF framework - ArduinoOTA (using the Arduino IDE, Platform I/O and using `upload_protocol = espota` or using the esp IDF command line options, `espota`) - Upload via Web UI - And via command line. Example: `curl -X POST -H "X-Flash-Mode: firmware" -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" --data-binary "@/path/to/firmware.bin" http://<device-ip>:<port-number>/` - Upload from URI (client driven). ### Installation #### Platform I/O (Arduino or ESP-IDF): Add the following to `libs_deps`: ``` Johboh/ConnectionHelper ``` #### Espressif IoT Development Framework: In your existing `idf_component.yml` or in a new `idf_component.yml` next to your main component: ``` dependencies: johboh/ConnectionHelper: version: ">=2.0.2" ``` ### Example - [Arduino framework](examples/arduino/simple/WifiAndOta.ino) - [ESP-IDF framework](examples/espidf/simple/main/main.cpp) ### Parition table You need to have two app partitions in your parition table to be able to swap between otas, as well as the `otadata` section. This is an example for a 4MB flash: ``` # Name, Type, SubType, Offset, Size, Flags nvs, data, nvs, , 16K otadata, data, ota, , 8K phy_init, data, phy, , 4K coredump, data, coredump, , 64K ota_0, app, ota_0, , 1500K ota_1, app, ota_1, , 1500K spiffs, data, spiffs, , 800K ``` To set partition table, save above in a file called `partitions_with_ota.csv`. For ESP-IDF, specify to use this one using menuconfig. For platform I/O, add the following to your `platformio.ini`: `board_build.partitions = partitions_with_ota.csv` ### Functionallity verified on the following platforms and frameworks - ESP32 (tested with platform I/O [espressif32@6.4.0](https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32) / [arduino-esp32@2.0.11](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32) / [ESP-IDF@4.4.6](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf) / [ESP-IDF@5.1.2](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf) on ESP32-S2 and ESP32-C3) - ESP8266 (tested with platform I/O [espressif8266@4.2.1](https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif8266) / [ardunio-core@3.1.2](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino)) Newer version most probably work too, but they have not been verified. ### Dependencies - Arduino only: https://github.com/ayushsharma82/ElegantOTA @^2.2.9
