Hardware
The In-Circuit radino32 WiFi combines an STM32L151 with the ESP8266EX SoC WiFi in a small form-factor EMC-compliant module.
It is the follower of the radino WiFi and offers improved CPU power, larger RAM-, Flash- and EPROM-memories and expanded pin functionalities. The core of the radino32 WiFi is the powerfull STM32L151 by STMicroelectronics, which with 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M3 CPU, 32 kbyte RAM, 256 kbyte Flash and 8 kbyte EPROM provides enough resources for complex functionalities.
The radino32 WiFi is part of the radino-series, which supplies full-Arduino-compatible wireless communication devices in a small form factor. All radino Modules are pin-to-pin compatible.

With our Arduino Library for radino32 the radino32 WiFi becomes fully Arduino-compatible, which enables easy programming by using the Arduino IDE (http://www.arduino.cc/).
For the Arduino IDE Boards Manager follow URL is required:
http://library.radino.cc/Arduino_1_8/package_radino_radino32_index.json
Visit radino/radino32 software for more information about the Arduino IDE and installation.
For detailed information about our library for the Arduino IDE look at the radino Library documentation.
Common problems regarding radino modules and the Arduino system: Common problems
Windows will automatically install the wrong bootloader driver. Please follow the instructions for Windows 7 oder Windows 10.
If you don´t want to use the Ardunio IDE, you can flash an existing .bin file with stm32flash. For more informations see: Upload binary on radino32

Working with Arduino IDE
The Arduino IDE required follow includes for using the radino32 WiFi.
#include <radino32_UART.h> #include <IC_ESP.h>
Firmwareupdate
Download the update tool from ElectroDragon from our Wiki: xtcom_util.zip
The firmware tool is called XTCOM UTIL.zip
Before updating the ESP, flash the radino32 WiFi with the radino32_WiFi_Firmwareupdate (radino32/radino32_WiFi/radino32_WiFi_Firmwareupdate).
Do not use the USB Serial ('Serial' at Arduino) for ESP firmware update. It will corrupt the ESP firmware.
Windows
- Launch XTCOM_UTIL.
- In the Tools(T) menu choose Config Device and set the Com port and set the baud rate to the value you used during testing (57600). Click Open then Connect but **don't close this panel**.
- From the API TEST(A) menu choose Flash Image Download and browse to the downloaded firmware .bin file
- Click DownLoad to start the update - the progress bar will confirm it's under way.
Linux or OS X
- Ensure that you have python and the pyserial module installed
- Put the ESP8266 into firmware update mode by grounding GPIO0 and re-cycling the power.
- Get the esptool from github
- In esptool.py change the device from ttyUSB0 to what ever your usb-serial is
- Run ./esptool.py write_flash 0x000000 New_Firmware.bin (changing New_Firmware.bin to the downloaded firmware file)
- The script will write the firmware to the device.
