• Description:
In another video I set up the Arduino IDE to upload files to the Flash File System, SPIFFS, of the ESP8266 (youtu.be/pfJROpQg-Is). The problem is that the standard way of doing so takes a long time–in the order of minutes.
In this video I go over how to upload firmware that will allow us to upload the files to flash memory (SPIFFS) over HTTP. This reduces the time that it takes to a matter of a few seconds. I also show how to quickly visualize the content of the Flash File System using a webpage!
