Feature Request: WiFi support for AMYboard (web-based configuration UI) #786

Description

Summary

AMYboard runs on ESP32-S3 which has WiFi hardware built in. Tulip already supports tulip.wifi() and network features including OTA updates. It would be great to bring WiFi support to AMYboard as well.

Use Case

Once AMYboard is installed in a Eurorack case, USB-C access is awkward — the port is on the side and often blocked by neighboring modules. A wireless interface would make AMYboard much more practical for live use and configuration.

Suggested Features

  • Web-based patch editor — edit patches from phone/laptop browser without USB cable
  • Live parameter control via WebSocket — tweak filter cutoff, reverb, effects in real-time from a browser UI
  • File management — upload/download patches and samples to/from SD card over WiFi
  • OTA firmware updates — like Tulip already supports via tulip.upgrade()

Why This Matters

AMYboard's strength is being a $30 programmable synth/FX module in Eurorack. But the programming workflow currently requires USB, which means either leaving a cable dangling from the rack or pulling the module out. WiFi would make it truly "configure and forget" — mount it, connect via WiFi, tweak patches from your phone while jamming.

Since the hardware already supports it and Tulip has a working implementation, this could potentially reuse a lot of existing network code.

Great product, looking forward to seeing it evolve!
