Amazing. I gotta go dust off my ESP8266. But as usual, the really MVP here is the snarky white text... Love you, brah!

[@ntoskrnl4]

Good walkthrough! I'm glad you liked my shaders screenshots to use in the thumbnail. I've got my first ESP32 in the mail coming hopefully tomorrow and I'm so excited!!!!! I've got huge plans in the future for it if my project ideas go well. :)

1:12 I'm just thinking that it's kinda possible to read the password by watching his fingers...

[@CNLohr]

The password is "password," but it was only password as long as I needed for making the video.

[@vladimirstoilov6080]

By the way there is a modern replacement of nano called micro. It has better keyboard support and is lightweight.

Thank you!

Hey CNLohr! Just wanted to let you know we're still fans and eagerly await your awesome projects :) Greetings.

Hi there! I have a question when installing mindcraft server and someone comes into the server and build houses and ect.. can it be saved?

[@Regular6782]

Awesome. Have you made cnping public? Fantastic tool, you should do a video on it!

[@CNLohr]

I will add that to a note.

[@LelanVance]

First! Great video

[@nappychef35]

Nice

[@Bravefsj]

good video,i kind of figure out wsl way of your toolchain my own just a few months ago.

[@CNLohr]

Now it works a lot more reliably.

[@VTOLAircraftMad]

I used the '32 for my dissertation. The default toolchain only exposes half of the ram as heap, it would be interested to see if this ports to other espressif micros

[@CNLohr]

This does not, however, I have, a while ago made a bare metal ESP32 environment. It was really useful for I2S testing. It did not support wifi.

[@radoslawk6872]

@@CNLohr why it is not supporting WiFi? Not open-source drivers by Espressif? Cannot it be used as binary without source?

[@CNLohr]

@@radoslawk6872 Oh! Because their drivers rely on FreeRTOS for operation. They don't have non-free-rtos drivers.

[@radoslawk6872]

@@CNLohr I see. Thanks for reply!

There are many with this esp-open-sdk compiling problem: [ERROR] configure: error: python is missing or unusable [ALL ] Makefile:8724: recipe for target 'configure-gdb' failed even with a *make PYTHON=python3* I'm on Manjaro Linux

[@CNLohr]

I have never used Manjaro, you could ask on my Discord server. Someone else may know.

[@sziluchannel]

Great project! Is it possible to use your channel 3 project, and modify it to modulate an incoming analog video signal on one of the pins, and broadcast that video?

[@YellowMediaProductions]

I wonder if channel3 could be used to broadcast video or audio files, albeit highly compressed. Would love to try and do that myself but I am a complete idiot when it comes to stuff like this. Thanks for your tutorial and I was able to get it working due to it. Good way to test out okd analogue tvs

[@CNLohr]

It absolutely could! You can easily decode encoded signals using RTL-SDR's

[@MrMartinZockt]

Ich wünsch mir 'ne kleine Miezekatze für mein Wochenendhaus.

[@douro20]

You must have worked with some REALLY old versions of tar if you are still using the J argument to specify xzip compression. Just about every version of tar I've come across will automatically detect compression.

[@CNLohr]

I learn my skills from when I learn them (15 years ago in some cases). It's a hard habit to break.

[@Bravefsj]

can you make a esp32 version toolchain,thank you!

[@CNLohr]

I will not. ESP32 has the ESP-IDF which is a very different beast.

[@Einhamer]

Omg... I'm tremendously amazed by this, but I still don't get anything... even tho I'm studying comp. science...

[@CNLohr]

If my instructions were unclear, I need to try harder.

[@Einhamer]

@@CNLohr Oh, no, it's just that I still dont have THAT knowledge to understand you completely. You give the people that watch your videos, all the tools and necessary explanations to make projects like yours. In my case, by my lack of knowledge, if you had to explain me, you'd feel like explaining the "if" statement to a higschool studend...

[@spakecdk]

this is a really good tutorial! But I have one thing I don't understand, why is recurse-submodules so important, if you could dive into that a bit please?

[@CNLohr]

It automatically gets the other repositories that the given project depends on.

[@duckquacker]

I need some help flashing, my esp8266 just spews out errors in the serial monitor after flashing channel3, it doesn't do anything either, I have tried wiping the flash and trying different flashers, but still no, it will work with a normal arduino sketch though.
