6 years ago Hey there. This is a rather old project, but I'm happy you like it.
I'll try to fix a few of those issues soon. I'm not sure why the index file not working for you, I was developing on my main machine so I didn't have to upload it each time, and I must not have gotten the latest going on the ESP.
I'll try to fix it when I have time, but that might be a little while, so in the meantime what you can do is:
Run a webserver on your host computer (windows, linux, etc). On line 52 of index.html, fill in the IP address of your ESP once it comes up on wifi. Put index.html and the material.* files in your web server directory... Then, naviagate to your webserver, and it should connect and look like my screenshots.
I'm not sure if I ever got it serving off the ESP eeprom with proper css and all.
If you can't get it going, feel free to ask questions and I'll help when I get a chance. Additionally, I'll accept Pull Requests if you fix things or improve anything.
Oh, and on the Diode... I think it is a 1N4001, but really any signal diode should work, you really need it to just act as a "valve", so the voltage rating and whatnot are not super critical. Snip pretty much any black/white diode off an old board and you should be fine. I started with the "ESP Staples Easy Button" tutorial and flipped some stuff around, so whatever they used will work also.
The included index.html looks nothing like whats shown in the example or the video. Are those files available?
The schematic does not tell what the diode is. What diode was used
The esp8266 arduino library has been updated to ver 2.4.0 and the sketch errors on line 44.
ESP8266WebServer server = ESP8266WebServer(8);and needs to be changed to
ESP8266WebServer server(80);This is a very cool project for us tinkering hams to build from, but there are details missing to get is working as is for us to even start working from.
