Uploading text files to esp8266 using Arduino IDE ( without SD Card )

Projects Programming

I don't want to use external SD Card. Is it possible to upload text files to Esp8266 using Arduino IDE.
If yes, how ?
If not, whats the work around?

What do you mean by "upload text files to Esp8266" - where can an ESP8266 store a text file?

Do you mean that you want an Arduino + ESP8266 to send the contents of a text file via WiFi ?

I want to create a text file and store some variables into it.
I don't want to use external SD CARD.
Is there an internal memory with ESP8266, where I can store this text file.?

I still have no idea what you want to do. At the moment this is an XY-problem

You obviously started this Thread with some project in mind but you have not told us what that is.

How big will the text file be?
What sort of data will it contain?
Where will the data come from?

Why are you asking about an ESP8266?

Dear Robin,

This is not an XY-problem. :slight_smile:
Let me explain you in simple steps.

  1. I have an ESP8266 wifi chip.
  2. I am using Arduino IDE for programming ( native ). Since i have very bad experience with NODEMCU with the performance.
  3. Currently I am able to successfully control LED ON and OFF with built in examples.

Following is my requirement:

  1. Set ESP to AP mode with default configurations ( Default IP, subnet, gateway, SSID, Password )
  2. I want to store above variables default IP, subnet, gateway, SSID, password to a text file which will be saved permanently. for eg. Create a file named config.txt and save to ESP.

How do i do this ? Any sample or tutorial will help me better.

Hope this clears my question to you.

Why do you need to create a text file for those parameters? They should be embedded in your code. - Scotty

I have many parameters to be stored and needs to be modified dynamically.
Let me know if it is possible to do that ?
