This firmware allows not only to have a cheap bridge between Wifi and serial, but also to have a web UI to configure wifi, to monitor 3D printer and even control it, and to make things easy, UI is fully customizable without reflashing FW. Firmware should work with any 3D printer firmware (repetier/marlin/smoothie ware using GCODE) if the serial connection has a correct setup. I currently use it with my personal flavor of repetier for Due based boards. The web interface files are present in the data directory but UI has its own repository ESP3D-WEBUI. Use GPIO2 to the ground to reset all settings in a hard way, 2-6 sec after boot / not before!! Set GPIO2 to ground before boot change boot mode and go to special boot that do not reach FW. Currently, boot takes 10 sec - giving 8 seconds to connect GPIO2 to GND and do a hard recovery for settings. Complete configuration by web browser (Station or Access point) or by Serial/telnet commands.
