ESP8266/TC4 Wireless link to Artisan via Wifi
Gullygossner	#1 Posted on 10/07/2019 12:54 PM
1/4 Pounder Posts: 95 Joined: January 06, 2019	I have an ESP8266, an SSR and a MAX31855 kicking around and happened to trip across past discussions (https://forum.homeroasters.org/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=5471) on setting this up for datalogging/control via Artisan. With Chaff's assistance I have been able to get this up and running for my Poppery 1 roaster. I was wondering if anyone has insight as to how to link the ESP8266 in Artisan via wifi? I found this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuyKWOK1Of8) showing it is possible, I am just looking for some instructions as to how to set it up.

I can share you the relevant parts, if you have programming skills to adapt to your actual application. Are you actually running Chaff popc ?

In any case, a quick and dirty way could be to keep whatever control protocol you have on the USB serial, and expose it on a TCP port instead. Then use a second ESP8266 as a cheap USB-to-telnet bridge on the host computer. That way everything looks the same to Artisan, and only relatively minor changes are required in the Arduino sketch.

MODBUS TCP is even simpler, and the most important, implemented by Artisan for longtime, for Fuji controllers, thus no bridge required, as for MQTT.
