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.

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...

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...

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... However I got a bargain as I only had to sign away my singing voice and got some nice legs too in return... oh wait, that was another deal... Have to look back how I paid for it. 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...

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...

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 ...

Can you backup the files using the backup feature on the tools page? This will download a .tar file. Make sure the browser actually downloads it as for example Chrome will always prompt you whether you want to 'keep' it and will not actually download it if you don't press the 'keep' button in that p...

I'll be truly impressed when ChatGTP will fix the Espressif WiFi code.

I did find some datasheets for the IR2118, but those mention it to be a single channel. Also the max. current it can deliver isn't that impressive. Not sure about what use case there is for this chip as the only special feature is the max. voltage. But the max. current is only a few-100 mA. What mot...

Nice, however it will not work like this as we don't yet support string formatting to be stored in variables. But with some minor changes, it can be made to work like this. You could also use one of the many system variables with "_am" in the variable name as shown on the system variables ...

TD-er

You can take a look at the 'level' plugin, which does store a threshold value in the settings.

TD-er

I do use the approach with dummy tasks myself. Copying the data to the dummy tasks is then triggered by the GPS task, which is configured to send out an event every XXX meters or 300 seconds (5 minutes) whichever comes first. This way I can get readings as close as possible to the same position. So ...

Just as a general statement about new features; - ESP8266 does have a 'feature freeze' in the sense that any new plugin or feature will not be included in the standard builds. You may be able to use it in a 'custom' build unless specifically excluded. (e.g. "Touch" is a feature not availab...

In the past someone has been working on a drag-and-drop rules implementation.
But at some point he lost interest and there were no more updates and nobody could take over.

Is it this model? https://templates.blakadder.com/m5stack_stickc.html The pins you mention look the same as the pin table on that page. It seems to be using the ESP32-PICO-D4.

Just curious, is there a M5Stack MAX485 like module as you're using it with the Eastron unit(s) ?

Like I said, Ton has been maintaining that plugin for the last few years, so if there have been any changes or built-choices, he is the one to know best. With "all descriptions" I assume you mean the docs: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Plugin/P037.html#p037-page Ton is very keen...

Might be that some features were turned off to make it all fit, but I guess Ton is the one who can answer the reasons about this change. (however he is occupied with his daytime job right now)

TD-er

Ohh that's a nice font!

Do you have a link to that 3D printed enclosure?

TD-er

Could be it is 'just' the power supply. Sadly those can also damage the board if you're in bad luck. Starting with the Pi3 the power supply requirements became a bit more demanding, so you couldn't get away with a lesser quality power supply. When you start over, I strongly suggest looking into runn...

Make sure to flash a 4M1M build after soldering the 4M flash module to it.

And you can backup the current settings if you like.
They should be compatible. (when shared between ESP8266/ESP8285, not ESP8266 vs. ESP32)

TD-er

Problem with 1M flash is that you really need to strip out anything you don't need and you also have a much smaller file system. If you want to store the EasyFetch files and maybe some extras, you can easily run into issues where saving settings may fail at some point due to file system fragmentatio...

TD-er

Well you are trying to do a 1/0 operation.
This is undefined.

TD-er

Just for your information, there is an ESP32-C3 with exactly the same form factor as the ESP-01S you are using there.
That one does have 4M flash, and thus is much easier to update.
Or you can simply replace the flash chip on that ESP-01S board with some 4M version.

TD-er

The boards got damaged? Or just a corrupt file system? (or damaged SD card)

TD-er

Hmm what is stored on the file system?
You only have 144k free, which is a bit small given the settings file is 128k and with LittleFS it is writing the entire file. (which is the reason why LittleFS is so much less snappy compared to SPIFFS)

Does your modem/router have the option to use WireGuard? Quite a lot of modern routers do at the moment. If not, maybe one of your access points could run WireGuard and then you only forward 1 UDP port for Wireguard to that access point. With Wireguard you can setup a VPN to your home and when using...

Are you sure the settings are being saved?
Just as a simple test, can you add some sysinfo task and then reboot to see if it is still added.

And just to be sure, you're not trying to set the calibration values at boot using rules?

TD-er

Nope, the cache controller can also work while connected. It is meant as a description of a typical use case, for example on a car while driving around out of WiFi range. Can you also try to add a sysinfo task? Just to test whether the files are being saved. What size are the bin files generated on ...
