ESP3D VS esp-link

I do not run these, but I have been keeping my eye on them. Not exactly Octoprint, but a kind of stripped down idea of it, running on esp32's. ESP3D Fiber-Punk Hackaday link Fiber-Punk Main website

Someone was able to do it with BigTreeTech SKR, an ESP32 board with ESP3D installed on it, and an Octoprint plugin called Octoprint-network-printing. More info can be found HERE.

maybe this: https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D

https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D they focus on 3d printers but it has a grbl mode and will act as a serial bridge bonus is you can even get some basic remote control.

I want to do something similar, not with 3 printers tho but with 1 printer and an esp8266/32 for serial. I looked at this project before https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D

For No Linux hardware solutions, there are very few software solutions available, currently ESP3Dis available.

Other ideas: - Setting up a Wifi sniffer to detect which devices are around - Make it an MQTT broker: https://iotbyhvm.ooo/esp8266-mqtt-broker/ - Making it a Remote serial device: https://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link

i was able to flash the esp01 with the ESP-Link from here. here's my status page:

https://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link is a serial link. I haven't tried it for this purpose but have used it as a serial bridge for other purposes.

Since I don’t have a local machine, ESP Link can emulate the serial port over WiFi.

https://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link is designed for this.

The main gotcha is these things won't help you if your code dies before it starts networking. If you want to debug that stuff, you pretty much need something like this thing.
