Artnet connection with Wemos D1 mini lite to control ws2811

Hello everyone!

I have project where I need to make artnet connection between my laptop and wemos D1 mini lite. There is many, many, project like this, but somehow I can't get it work.

I have tried macnobbys code (ArtNet to WS2812 Pixel LED driver : Using Wemos D1 (arduino-esp8266) - Networking, Protocols, and Devices - Arduino Forum) but it didin't work. It did connect to wifi, but then it didin't get any packages. Can it be that my router block the connection? That I need to open Artnet gate?

I also tried this https://github.com/robertoostenveld/arduino/tree/master/esp8266_artnet_dmx512 but it didn't load the data files to the board. How to you add the data folder to the board? Or is my boards memory too small (1M).

I stared to try this project http://www.instructables.com/id/ESP8266-Artnet-to-DMX/ but it asks me to flash the bin file. How can I do that?

If anyone can help me with any of these problems that would be great.

Thanks.

Thanks. Didn't know this. I will try this when I get to home. Strange thing is that that project has already #include "FS.h" and it didn't give any error when I was compiling. It also save wifi settings to somewhere. Any idea where those files/data are saved?
