ESP32 Forum

Hi,

Greetings!

As ESP8685 based modules are mentioned in ESP32-C series on https://www.espressif.com/en/products/modules, so I am curious to know whether can I use ESP8685­WROOM­06 with ESP Rainmaker framework.
If yes then what are the steps to use it?

Also can I use ESP8285 or ESP8266 Modules with ESP Rain Maker?

Regards,

Dinesh

Note 8685 != 8285. 8685 is C-series, 8285 is 8266-related.

As per ESP Rainmaker, ESP32 series modules are supported.
So can I use ESP8685 based modules with ESP Rainmaker.

Also as ESP8285 is ESP8266 series product, means that it can not be used with ESP Rainmaker.

Please guide.

You are correct. More specifically, the ESP8685 is a variation of the ESP32-C2. Unfortunately, I don't know if Rainmaker supports that chip yet, even if it's an ESP32 variant. (Technically, there shouldn't be much hardware-wise that stops Rainmaker from working, aside from maybe memory limits.) ESP32C3 and as such should work with Rainmaker.

Small correction, ESP8685 is a version of ESP32-C3.

I have written about this in more detail here: viewtopic.php?t=25384#p89869

Whoops, good point. I'm confusing my ESPxxxx series once again

Hi,

Thank you so much ESP_igrr and ESP_Sprite.
Now I will look to use ESP8685­WROOM­06 modules with ESP Rainmaker.
I hope ESP8685­WROOM­06 has price advantage over ESP32-C3-WROOM-02.

I tried the ESP32-Wroom-32E within the Arduino Platform on MacOS and the code compiles and downloads onto the platform. However, I could not connect to the device through bluetooth with the iPhone!
I also briefly tried the ESP32-C3-Wroom-02 on the Ardunio platform and with the standard config the code is too big to download.

It looks like I will be trying to install the espressif - IDE next. Having a hard time with the rainmaker. Might also need to look for something else.
