ESP-01 little help

[quorle]

I would need a little help. I would like to use the project on an ESP-01. I followed the instructions, but it does not work that way. Maybe someone can give me a well-described manual or help?
In my PlatformIO.ino, I have entered the following:

[platformio]
src_dir = ./Arduino/McLighting/
data_dir = ./Arduino/McLighting/data/
//env_default = nodemcuv2
env_default = esp01_1m
description = The ESP8266 based multi-client lighting gadget

And mine definitions.h looks like this:

But unfortunately I can not upload INDEX.htm. The connection with the MQTT works. But the LEDs do not synonymous unfortunately. Is there perhaps an illustrated instructions on how to adjust all this for an ESP-01 with connection to which PIN? I would really appreciate an answer as this project is really great.

@quorle have a Look here for ESP01 support:

Hello,
have the Same Problem.
whot is the minimum define?
I neat am MQTT and minimal Web Interface for testing.

I have diasble:

//#define USE_WS2812FX_DMA 0      // 0 = Used PIN is ignored & set to RX/GPIO3; 1 = Used PIN is ignored & set to D4/GPIO2; 2 = Uses PIN is ignored & set to TX/GPIO1;  Uses WS2812FX, see: https://github.com/kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX

//#define MQTT_HOME_ASSISTANT_SUPPORT   // If defined, use AMQTT and select Tools -> IwIP Variant -> Higher Bandwidth
//
//#define ENABLE_BUTTON 14              // If defined, enable button handling code, see: https://github.com/toblum/McLighting/wiki/Button-control, the value defines the input pin (14 / D5) for switching the LED strip on / off, connect this PIN to ground to trigger button.
//#define ENABLE_BUTTON_GY33 12         // If defined, enable button handling code for GY-33 color sensor to scan color. The value defines the input pin (12 / D6) for read color data with RGB sensor, connect this PIN to ground to trigger button.

#define ENABLE_LEGACY_ANIMATIONS      // Enable Legacy Animations
//#define ENABLE_E131                   // E1.31 implementation You have to uncomment #define USE_WS2812FX_DMA and set it to 0
//#define ENABLE_TV                     // Enable TV Animation 

[HiranChaudhuri]

So you may want to disable OTA and remove E1.31 (DMX).
Also check both MQTT and AMQTT (you need either-or, but they may behave differently)

[redfirebrooks]

Does someone have a step by step noob protocol for the ESP-01 ? I can't make it work :(

[NicoEich]

Hey, use this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7axaXO8cFo8. Just at 3:20 take esp 01_1m instead of nodemcu. This should be the best way

[redfirebrooks]

Thanks, I gave it a try but it does not work for me... came back to the Arduino IDE and now I have this error when I try to access the ESP /
