ESP32-Rick-Roller

The one-stop shop solution for an ESP32-based Rick Rolling solution.

This README will be updated fully later. Until then, here are the dependencies used in this project and a few notes.

Notes

I don't understand why or how, but the captive portal system works approximately 50% of the time or less on Windows. iOS (and by extension macOS) as well as Android (unsure about ChromeOS) seem to perform fine. If someone can find a fix or the reason why, that would be appreciated.

Boards tested:

• Heltec WiFi Kit 32
• Lolin D32 Pro - will be moving forward with this board as it has more memory/support for SD card directly

If your board doesn't have at least 8MB of flash allocable to SPIFFS, replace instances of rick.mp4 with rick.gif in Program.ino and the index/js files.

Dependencies - C++

WiFi.h

• This should be included with the Arduino IDE.

DNSServer.h

• In the flavor provided by Espressif.
• https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32

ESPAsyncWebServer.h

• Project looks not to be maintained, but it works fine, mostly
• https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncWebServer

AsyncTCP.h & SPIFFS.h

• These are part of ESPAsyncWebServer.

Dependencies - Other

animate.css

• A fantastic lightweight library to replace most of what I used to use jQuery for
• The included file is modified to strip out the bulk I don't need
• Under MIT License
• https://github.com/daneden/animate.css

Rick Astley

• Absolutely essential to this project. If your universe does not use the Rick Astley dependency, this will not run on your device.
