Customized ESPEasy build (512k)

Is it still feasible to build for smaller chips like ESP-03? Removed all except a few of the plugins and the build size gets down enough to build the firmware. But getting stuck after that. The resulting image fails on: No (or too small) SPIFFS area.. System Halted Please reflash with 128k SPIFFS mi...

Re: PCFGPIO command resets every other pin (pcf8574 8bit IO expander)

The changes are not on v2.0 yet, but I tried my own mega build and it was fine. Thanks!

Going to have a look-see now if the 512k build still goes too.

Re: PCFGPIO command resets every other pin (pcf8574 8bit IO expander)

Can someone tell me the difference between dev/test/normal? Its not in the release notes. https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases Edit: well, looks like I need to dig a little deeper. Tested yesterdays' v2.0-20180221 (normal) (on an ESP-12E this time) and still the same behaviour, it holds...

Re: MQ-135 addon

I din't get my MQ sensors running (yet..), because I thought the measurements where too erratic. On the BB at least. But the trick is the sensors needs some burn in time, and then for measurements requires alternating cycles of heating and low heating and measurement. I think the sheets have the one...

Re: PCFGPIO command resets every other pin (pcf8574 8bit IO expander)

Thats great!

50mA sounds like a lot, 8 pins makes that 400mA. I have to doubt that. I'm gleaning -1mA high and 20mA low typical, -4/100 max.

Tried controlling a typical sino Songle dual-relay directly from a PCF (SMT) a long time ago and it didn't want to really.

Re: PCFGPIO command resets every other pin (pcf8574 8bit IO expander)

Simply grounded the address pins for address 0x20 iirc. And as for the spec exceeding, I tested with a few LEDs and using arduino Wire so I think that eliminates hardware problems. 8-) I see about the PR. Very nice. I'll wait out a bit, maybe try a custom build later bc I see there's a Travis build ...

Re: PCFGPIO command resets every other pin (pcf8574 8bit IO expander)

Hooked up an arduino clone, there's nothing wrong with the circuit or chips. Can set any of the 256 8bit combinations with the wire library. #include <Wire.h> uint8_t address = 0x20; byte portval = 1; int _error; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println("\nTEST PCF8574\n"); Wire...

Re: ESPEasy and multiple Switch inputs (pcf8574 8bit IO expander)

Thanks. Its late now but I will review the power setup better. I have this feeling maybe the problem is there. You're correct about the tasks. I still confused it a bit, but that's also because I *do* need them for the MQTT pub/sub mechanism. Just not to turn the PCFGPIO on or off, that just works w...

Re: ESPEasy and multiple Switch inputs (pcf8574 8bit IO expander)

I'm talking about only one PCF8574. And it works okay just at the first address (or port as the letscontrolit config calls it) Im a bit confused about the "Switch Input" part of the config, because I want to use the IO expander as output. I guess its supposed to be a feedback device for an...

PCFGPIO command resets every other pin (pcf8574 8bit IO expander)

All, I finally got around to test some relays with ESP. I found a hardware setup that works (its able to drive at least two relay modules), but now I have a new issue. But I'm only using ESPEasy for a week now so maybe I'm missing something. The PCF8574 input I use seems to blank every other bit whe...
