Let's Control It

TD-er

Ah why do you change the 'remote unit' settings anyway?
That's for syncing with another node via ESPEasy p2p.

Maybe I should hide this option when no p2p controller is selected/enabled to make it more clear and cannot be set to a faulty state.

TD-er

Hmm that should work...
Maybe Ton has an idea? https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... l#commands

We are working on P139, for the AXP2101, so if there's any bug in here, we can easily take this along.

TD-er

Do you have JavaScript disabled in your browser settings? Or maybe some conflicting extension? Can you also try another browser? Do you have some ESP with another type available for testing, like some ESP8266? You don't need to connect anything, just add the GPS task (or any other task for a device ...

TD-er

Great!

TD-er

Dummy tasks are not stored to flash. or at least not the taskvalues.
These are kept in RTC memory, which may survive a reboot or crash (or deep sleep) as long as the node remains powered.

TD-er

I don't see what the problem is, if you were just using it from a Git fork. However you apparently have setup something else which should not be needed, so I guess I don't see the issues you think you're facing. Not telling those are no real issues, just that I don't understand what you did to appar...

TD-er

Do not use the wiki as that's completely outdated.

Use the Read-the-docs instead: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Also all variables are available (including their current values) on the system variables page (see tools page)

TD-er

String operations are still very preliminary. Typically those can only be used to send to somewhere, like formatting an URL in rules, writing to a display, used in MQTT topics, logs, email. You cannot store them in a dummy task, or in a variable. The only 'dynamic' use with strings is as an eventval...

TD-er

Where do you want to use this string?
Quite a lot of plugins, like display etc. do have commands to accept strings.

TD-er

Depends on what you had changed. Typically I would create a branch on your local fork and then commit all changes you made into it. Maybe also push it back to your fork on GitHub and then checkout your own mega branch again. Then fetch the mega branch from the remote: letscontrolit/Espeasy. Then try...

TD-er

Maybe rename it to an Easter release

TD-er

Included it in this PR: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/5227
GH Actions build: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... 2826035373

TD-er

OK, found the bug, will make a commit for it.
You really need to add the =1 to the argument, like this:
http://192.168.11.55/json?showpluginstats=1

TD-er

Ah seems to be a simple error where ",}" is failing the JSON linter.

TD-er

It should, but I just tested it and it doesn't produce valid JSON, so I will have to look into that
You need to add "showpluginstats" as an argument

Like this: http://192.168.10.222/json?sensorupdate ... ginstats=1

TD-er

It isn't documented yet... but this is according to the current implementation. I get why you might want to have this, as it greatly improves readability. However it will also add quite a lot of memory usage to ESP8266. Right now, you could use dummy tasks and through [taskname#taskvaluename] kind o...

TD-er

I'm still a bit surprised you only needed to terminate the clock.
Are the other lines pulled up by the devices?

TD-er

No, I specifically disabled the 40 MHz when connecting, as it does make matters worse. With 40 MHz bandwidth, you have effectively 2 "channels" which are quite wide. (the mentioned channel is the center frequency) On 2.4 GHz WiFi, you typically only have channel 1, 6 and 11 which will not ...

TD-er

Yep, it is always better to do bit-banging than head-banging

By the way, what SPI speed are you now using?

Do I still need to make it configurable?

TD-er

Does this mean the release of the DSO coin will also be put on hold?

Anyway glad you fixed it

TD-er

Not sure if the DHTxx sensors are the best choice as they do have their own peculiarities. For example I've seen those "lock up" when exposed to quite humid weather (e.g. like how it is now in the Netherlands, 200 - 300 m visibility for over 24h and quite cold) Maybe a BME280 or some other...

TD-er

Quite a lot of settings possible which are not available on lots of other devices. (I might get back to you one day regarding the Multicast Transmission Mode setting to try something....) I don't see what might be wrong there. What options are available regarding the Channel Width? Not sure if 20 MH...

TD-er

I'll ask my friend Coffeezilla to help you fund it too.
He always has a good idea about new coins.

TD-er

Well I doubt the point of the gromet is the main issue here.
The cables in those tubes leading to the sensors are also not the best example of noise-free design.

TD-er

It also does look like you're not really making a 'bus' but more like a T-junction.

Also what else is in that enclosure where the ESP is located?
Is it possible the currently set 100 kHz for this plugin may be close to whatever else is inside that enclosure?

TD-er

Can you set the pins you use for the CS of these devices in the Hardware tab to some specific bootstate value (anything other than "default)

TD-er

And what if you swap the 2 sensors between the ESP and the last one on the bus?
Just to make sure it isn't a loose wire like the CS to the one closest to the ESP.

TD-er

b/g/n is fine. Or b/g if the access point is only used for these kinds of devices. What you're setting with this is the list of allowed protocols. So if ESPEasy is forced to use b/g mode, it will try to connect using 'g' mode and if that doesn't work it will fall back to 'b' mode. However if your AP...

TD-er

It is a really hard limit of the CPU architecture of the ESP8266. In theory we could move flash strings to an area beyond the sketch and maybe things like fonts. But this does cause quite a lot of other issues, like you need to implement a lot of work-arounds to make sure OTA will not overwrite thos...

TD-er

Just keep in mind that a full refresh differs from a partial refresh. Partial refresh is typically done more quickly and thus "more violently" towards the tiny balls in the display. On the other hand, a full refresh does first 'invert' the newly painted image and then inverts all pixels ag...

TD-er

I just was doing some tests on the scope to see what the effect was of loose ground. So like using a probe and a BNC coax cable to connect 2 channels of the signal generator and check their signals on the scope. The ground was connected via the BNC coax cable, but as soon as you disconnect the GND o...

Problem with e-ink is that there are small balls which have some paint on one side. The way an e-ink display operates is these balls are rotated. Each rotation will wear off this paint. I don't know if there is an actual wear stated anywhere. However I do know that one of such displays which a frien...

Everyone gets a new 4-channel digital scope but me. :( Well I had to pay for it myself...

Oh nope, I remember, just had ...

Well if you need to make plans based on the US government, then I don't know when you will be able to plan anything. I'm still surprised he didn't suggest to call the Gulf of Mexico the "TrumpGulf" and plans to put a ban + tarrifs on hurricanes as they are not good for US finances. Anyway....

TD-er

ESP8266 has a very odd limit in that the sketch cannot exceed (1M - 4k).
So no matter how much flash storage you add, you cannot have a sketch larger than this limit.

TD-er

Hmm since we both live at the same (northern) halve of the planet, I doubt there will be much lawns to mow right now.
Depending on where you are in the States, you either have to dig through a lot of snow, or there is no grass left.

TD-er

Another idea just to test... Can you wire up one BME388 using Ethernet cable? I thing you should use each signal with GND in a pair. The wiring per pair in Ethernet cable should differ (due to different windings per meter), but on such short distances it shouldn't really matter. At least this will e...

TD-er

By the way, looking at the display, it looks like the LCD may have been exposed to a DC voltage. If so, then the display is beyond repair, as the crystals have been damaged. If it were just the plastics and/or the polarization filters, then using polaroid glasses or some polarization filter from an ...

Maybe there is some local Facebook group for collectors of 'vintage kidneys', or maybe it is called 'retro'.
Is it going to be the left or the right one?

TD-er

I did hook up some ESP (the C6 was apparently on top of the pile on my desk) to the scope here. I got the extra 16-channel logic analyzer option too, but still had not tried using it since I bought this scope 2 weeks ago. So testing SPI and the decoding options would be a good start to getting to kn...

The 804 also has 12 bit ADC and like I said the 100 Mpt sample depth is present on the cheaper models, only 50 Mpt enabled by default. Previously you had to buy licenses for protocol decoding, but those are now included if you update to the latest firmware. (maybe first set those other 'flags' so th...

Owon scope and failing is something I can also talk about from experience. My XDS3064E is now next to impossible to operate as there seems to be something triggering changes on some button and/or touchscreen. I recently bought the SDS824X HD, which is really a pleasure to operate. And you can also o...

TD-er

Please also check what frequency is actually set.
It is likely not exactly 100 kHz.

TD-er

Just changed the define I mentioned before, so we have to see if it will work anyway. https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/5223 Can you test this test build? https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/actions/runs/12715882334 It was suggested [here](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/...

TD-er

Oh and can you try other pins, other than GPIO 16/17? Those sometimes can send out really high frequency stuff as they are internally also used for PSRAM. However if this is never found, there still might be some 80 MHz activity on them. And there was something with GPIO-5 too on the ESP32... It doe...

TD-er

Well I guess that last question of you is relatively easy to change as Ton did re-use code for both BME388 plugin versions and thus it might be that the I2C check also is applied to this plugin. So you might want to uncheck "Check I2C devices when enabled" on the tools->Advanced page. My f...

The current SPI clock is already quite low: #define BMP3XX_DEFAULT_SPIFREQ (1000000) ///< The default SPI Clock speed So unless I am really bad at counting zeroes, it is only 1 MHz. Really not that much. Unless it is already below the minimum SPI frequency and the ESP code may set it to some differe...

TD-er

OK, I stand corrected, apparently you can change the SPI speed per call.
This does make it simpler to fix it for your use case.
However I think it would be a more intuitive approach if we add low/high speed option in the settings like we also do for I2C.

TD-er

I can have a look at what's needed. I don't think the SPI bus speed will be changed by any library as that's typically something that is too specific for the platform. What ESP are you using? There are quite a lot of low-level differences between those ESP32-variants. How are the CS lines wired? Is ...
