I did find the ESP8266 wifi code that I used as the remote control, in order to skip running a hotspot on my phone. This is running an an adafruit feather ESP8266 wifi board, with two buttons:

wifiConfig = {}



-- wifi.STATION         -- station: join a WiFi network

-- wifi.SOFTAP          -- access point: create a WiFi network

-- wifi.wifi.STATIONAP  -- both station and access point

wifiConfig.mode = wifi.SOFTAP  -- both station and access point



wifiConfig.accessPointConfig = {}

wifiConfig.accessPointConfig.ssid = "KNDL"   -- Name o                                                                                                                                                             f the SSID you want to create

wifiConfig.accessPointConfig.pwd = "32165498"    -- WiFi password - at least 8 c                                                                                                                                                             haracters



wifiConfig.accessPointIpConfig = {}

wifiConfig.accessPointIpConfig.ip = "192.168.111.1"

wifiConfig.accessPointIpConfig.netmask = "255.255.255.0"

wifiConfig.accessPointIpConfig.gateway = "192.168.111.1"





wifi.setmode(wifiConfig.mode)

print('set (mode='..wifi.getmode()..')')



if (wifiConfig.mode == wifi.SOFTAP) or (wifiConfig.mode == wifi.STATIONAP) then

    print('AP MAC: ',wifi.ap.getmac())

    wifi.ap.config(wifiConfig.accessPointConfig)

    wifi.ap.setip(wifiConfig.accessPointIpConfig)

end



print('chip: ',node.chipid())

print('heap: ',node.heap())



wifiConfig = nil

collectgarbage()



-- End WiFi configuration





function pageTurn(command)

        conn = nil



        conn=net.createConnection(net.TCP, 0)



        conn:on("receive", function(conn, payload)

         print(payload)

         end)



         -- when connected, request page (send parameters to a script)

        conn:on("connection", function(conn, payload)

         print('\nConnected')

         conn:send(command)

         end)



         -- when disconnected, let it be known

        conn:on("disconnection", function(conn, payload)

          print('\nDisconnected')

          end)



        conn:connect(5001,'192.168.111.57')

    pulse1 = pulse2



        if (pin == pin3) and ( level == gpio.HIGH ) then

          pageBack()

        end

        if (pin == pin4) and ( level == gpio.HIGH ) then

          pageForward()

        end

  end

  trig(pin3, "down", function(level) pincb(pin3, level) end)

  trig(pin4, "down", function(level) pincb(pin4, level) end)

so how did the remote work physically? I see the esd which just looks like a chip. Would this work with koreader ?

Image attached, It is wired up to two buttons.
