Скачать или смотреть NES wifi cart dev ESP8266 NESnet stream #11: set connection IP-port-type from 6502 w/msgs to ESP

Video recap at 6:03:50

Recorded 2/29/2020


Start off by documenting the communication protocol that's been established so far. Copy of the current doc available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h4z18gyj1pr...


58:27 Ramble about how I would like to make a stratego clone as a first game project.


1:30:32 Start working on means for NES to control the IP address, port number, & protocol using special opcodes. As things progress I ditch this approach..


2:07:20 Decide to use message mode for communicating connection meta data instead of special opcodes. Allows the ESP's SPI interrupt service routine (ISR) to stay small & simple. Then process the new connection data in the main thread once the message comes in.


2:22:20 Write a send long message routine for the 6502, we only did medium previously.


2:31:20 Long messages working, but have a problem with the NES sending messages too quickly and later messages stomping over and deleting earlier messages. Implement a temp fix opcode to check if last message is sent. Later on this should be mostly fixable with larger (circular) message buffer on the ESP.


2:48:40 Working now, but having problem with end of messages getting cut 1 character short.


3:01:50 Figure out problem with last character not getting sent & fix ESP firmware.


3:09:00 Decide to have ESP produce same result in it's incoming NES message buffer identical between medium/short messages & long/rainbow message style.


3:15:00 medium and long messages now able to be processed identically once received by the ESP from the NES.


4:09:40 Start working on having the ESP change the port number of it's connection based on the message it received from the NES.


4:40:45 Properly send port number from NES to ESP, but only able to test in a round about way..



5:03:40 Mostly show changing port number working. By breaking then fixing. Start working on letting the NES change the IP address which the ESP connects to. Try to get my linux box server working enough to test sending it messages too, but have too many problems updating.


5:32:45 Test changing IP address as best I can with only 1 test machine.


5:43:00 Start working on TCP support so the NES can control whether UDP or TCP is being used.


5:47:30 Test TCP message from the ESP working.
