ESP32 access via Ipad

[jdcrunchman]

The only info I came up with is this URL - https://learn.adafruit.com/micropython- ... ss-webrepl

But this clearly specified the use of the ESP8266, and not the ESP32

I looked for further docs from the Adafruit site and didn’t see anything for the ESP32.

So asking you for a working URL that can lead me to a solution.

I just tried from an android phone to conenct to webrepl on my esp32. The webpage loads and asks for the password. However the webrepl connection fails with the following:

Code: Select all

Access denied
Disconnected

message from the phone browser. The message on the ESP32 console/repl is

Code: Select all

dupterm: EOF received, deactivating

The webrepl connection works *fine* from a laptop.

I tried a couple different browsers on the phone, all gave the same error.

I haven't used any of these but if you can spend a little on hardware it looks as if you can get a terminal app that works with Bluetooth Low Energy serial interfaces, then I think you should be able to connect to the ESP32's UART interface. Alternatively Redpark do Lightning to serial cables, and Get-Console do various adapters and an app to work with them. You'd need to check the voltage levels used by the interface and maybe add some sort of level shifter.

However wouldn't the simplest way out of this problem be to get hold of any old laptop with a USB port? Surely virtually any machine will work for the purpose and can be had for next to nothing, or even for free if you have Freecycle or equivalent there - given your situation you might find you can ask and someone will willingly dig one out of their cupboard for you.
