would a ESP8285 chip work with HyperSerialESP8266? #26

Hi, i recently bought a generic SP511E WiFi LED Controller off of Amazon and noticed that it doesn't have an 8266 board, it's got an 8285 board. My plan right now is to flash the controller with WLAN and see what wireless performance would be like but I'd also like to explore running it via USB on the host computer running HyperHDR via USB/Serial because that appears to be a better/more popular choice. My question is: would HyperSerialEsp8266 still work with the ESP8285 controller linked above or would attempting that brick it? Thanks so much. love this project |

alright i think i found a candidate from this site
so now i feel like i'm good to go unless you tell me that there's something wrong with the examples linked? |

You are free to use it, although I would not go this way. Recommended wiring schemes created by @pavel-ponomarev are on my blog and on the wiki. |

looking back at it, i’m starting to get a better understanding on how it works and what needs to be connected where on a breadboard/circuit i’ll try making a new one later this weekend after new parts come in |

@awawa-dev i bought a handful of SN74AHCT125N level shifters and wired this up based on what i thought @pavel-ponomarev's schematics were supposed to represent:
would you mind confirming whether or not it's right? i don't think i missed anything-- i connected it all up and found that it worked but i wanted to make sure we were good to go before closing it up and forgetting about it |

Yes, it's fine. You dont need +5V from esp8266 anymore. |

Hi
Thanks :) You will probably need to recompile the firmware and change the target platform from esp8266 to esp8285, but this part should be very easy. I don't have it, but the 8285 uses a different clock. It may or may not interfere with the Neopixelbus library clock management for some rendering methods: you can ask in that project if they have encountered esp8285 in practice. You still need a decent serial communication chip on board like the genuine ch340g and you have to be very careful to avoid situations like the esp8285 board in this adapter being powered from the LED strip power supply and the USB port at the same time (they must be separated, only the common ground should be pr…
