ESP8266 Server From SD Card for PS4 4.55 Payloads by Stooged

I managed to get some time to goto my local Jaycar store and pickup some ESP8266 boards and some SD breakout boards.

I have put together a small example of a webserver with the files hosted off a SD card. Using an SD card allows you to update the payloads without needing to flash the ESP board and it allows you to have more than around 4MB of files because the ESP boards have a low amount of storage memory. It also has a DNS server built in so you can use it via the user guide on the PS4.

You can also configure the webserver and wifi access point from a file on the SD card with CONFIG.INI.

The Arduino SD library is limited to 8:3 file name format which means all the file names must be 8 characters or less and the file extension must be 3 characters or less, this would be the limit FILENAME.TXT

Make sure you use a SD card that is formatted to fat or fat32.

On my board (d1 mini compatible) the following pins are used with the SD breakout board

• D5 = SCK
• D6 = MISO
• D7 = MOSI
• D8 = SS

You can find datasheets online for all the different types of boards so you should be able to find the pins you need to connect to.

The ino sketch and SD files are here: https://github.com/stooged/ESP-Server

@pearlxcore has a guide here on how to program the ESP8266 board using the Arduino ide.

I might look at opening up one of my PS4s and installing it inside the PS4 and soldering it in because it is pretty small.

@stooged Thanks we just need ftp code on it XD ... @ps360 can you share your project ? ty

@imedox
Thanks for taking an interest in my package (all in one). As you already have your own sketch, simply download the EXE file, for semi auto extraction on the SD Card.

The installation of MolecularShell was replaced by VitaShell Mod3, author theheroGAC. It's very cool, the theme and the language auto translation and volume pa. (This mod will not interfere with the installation of MolecularShell and Official VitaShell)

This is the project page, not my web site!

@stooged
Thanks again, I just needed to replace htm with html XD

I can not activate bultin_LED blink when reading and writing data to SD card.
Can only turn always ON. Just add delay in the loop?

Sorry for posting multiple times, but it worked!
Here's the sketch, could you check to see if it's all right, please.

Spoiler

I forgot to mention one more code added, that can be seen in the sketch.

1. void setup(void)
2. {
3. pinMode(BUILTIN_LED, INPUT_PULLUP);
4. pinMode(BUILTIN_LED, OUTPUT);
5. Serial.begin(115200);
6. Serial.setDebugOutput(true);
7. Serial.println("Version: " + firmwareVer);

Otherwise, it will not work.

For now, I would ask if possible, add an option to edit the name of the access point and the password by accessing (/settings) through the browser.

@stooged Thanks again for the great help in the community.

 

[imedox]

it possible ... go there

https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager

 

[ps360]

@imedox

Thanks and I'm sorry, I released the V3.1 package and firmware update fix to fix the previous package, now everything seems to work.

 

[imedox]

we need add wifi manager and FTP

 

[marek256]

guys, you might try to contact c0d3m4st4, he has working FTP on his ESP8266 bin file. I mentioned him to contact you but he did not obviously.

 

[ps360]

@stooged Thank You for all!

There was a new question and maybe a request.

Is it possible to add the WebUSB library here and here, and here to ESP8266 for support Web Rocket Launcher for Switch in RCM mode connected by an OTG cable?

Is it a possibility or are there limitations and incompatibilities?

 

[ps3nano]

@imedox
this SD board is how to connect esp8266?

​

Please tell me the correct PINOUT

• Pin 2 = D8 (CS)
• Pin 3 = D7 (MOSI)
• Pin 5 = D5 (SCK)
• Pin 7 = D6 (MISO)

@Zoilus
same SD board. Please tell me pin pinout.

I am troubled with the wiring of SD:

​

@stooged
No SD card found is here. web server is working.
I do not pinout this SD board, then this SD board is some problem.

then I watched .bin file for "D1 R2 and Mini" board ESP_Server.ino.d1_mini.zip
So tried this one.

​

so i need esp8266fx.bin?
