Re: ESP Easy Pulse count problem / bug

It would be good to save the count in flash and have a clear button on the count task or something like that. I am using mine to accumulate water usage ...

Re: Wimos and FS300A

Just use a resistive divider to drop down the 5v output of the sensor to 3.3 volt. You can take 3 resistors of equal value, (between 1k and 5k each) connect the resistors in series from the sensor output to ground. You will have 1/3 of the output at the resistor closest to ground and 2/3 of the outp...

Re: Wimos and FS300A

The hall sensor needs a voltage between 4.5 and 20 volt to work properly. When powered with 5 volt it will give output pulses of 5 volt. That is not compatible with any ESP8266. You have to use a voltage divider or level converter between the yellow output pin to the FS300A and the ESP.

Re: How to erase the NodeMCU from settings

Usually erasing the part in ESP memory where the settings are stored is enough.

To do that connect a short between the RX and the TX pin, repower or reset the ESP. Wait a while (minute or so) to let the erase process finish.
Disconnect and reconnect power and your old settings should be cleared.
