  • As always, more free ram memories. The websocket and telnet tasks are now one task for both.
  • The web interface loading speed is improved.
  • A telnet server multi clients on port 23. It is the same interface as the uart one. So the low level management can be done via the network and it offer a complete interface for remote addons.

  • new commands: help and sys.adc.
  • The web volume command is now on a POST if the websocket is not ready.
  • Play all 320Kb/s Stations

Loading the esp8266

The binaries are on ESP8266-Firmware/bin/upgrade/

First use

  • If the acces point of your router is not known, the webradio inits itself as an AP. Connect the wifi of your computer to the ssid "WifiWebRadio",
  • Browse to 192.168.4.1 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. Dont forget to save your stations list in case of problem or for new equipments.
  • if the AP is already know by the esp8266, the default ip is given by dhcp.
  • a sample of stations list is on https://github.com/karawin/ESP8266-WebRadio/blob/master/ESP8266-Firmware/WebStations.txt . Can be uploaded via the web page.
  • Karadio can be controlled by the web interface or by the uart interface or by telnet. List of commands: type help
  • See the list of command at http://karadio.karawin.fr/Interface.txt
