Hi, I'm trying to flash ESPEasy to a brand new WeMos D1 mini, using ESP.Easy.Flasher, according to the instructions on https://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3934. When I press the Reset button on the WeMos, the blue LED flashes once. I suppose this at least means that power is getting ...

Where should I be able to see this device? I can't see anything in Device Manager/Ports called CH340 or CP2102 or similar?

If it's not there, what do I do next? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall something?

Thanks - Rowan

Today I have a third serial port, called "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)". Is this anything to do with ESPeasy?

Thanks - Rowan

Sorry, there are still many things I don't understand: To use ESP.Easy.Flasher, do I have to flash the unit, even if I've previously done it? Is there another way of accessing it via a serial port? E.g. can I connect to it using Teraterm? If so, which COM port do I use? And what port settings (baud ...

I'm sorry, I was confusing the ESPeasy with a different module that I bought for a different purpose that required a micro-SD card. The micro-SD card was nothing whatever to do with the ESPeasy. What I bought was a Wemos Di mini module, which contains an ESP8266MOD, and a CH340G, and a number of oth...

I have tried everything you have suggested, but I still can't get this to work. It seems to complete the flash. When I run the post flash process it seems to do something, the LED on the WWemos flashes blue continuously. After the flash it stops as expected for a reboot. I reboot it, and click the b...

Thank you for this suggestion. I partly understand what you mean (i.e. I understand in principle - whether I can implement this in detail remains to be seen). I will start my design using this approach, and ask more questions if I need to later.

Thanks - Rowan

Thank you, that was much better. The blue LED flashed continually very quickly while it was doing the flash, and it said that it had successfully completed. Does this mean that it verified correctly too? Now when I connect to the ESP_0 network and browse to 192.168.4.1 (which I have deduced is the I...

Yes, I have read your notes. I have just tried flashing the unit again. The log looks like this: ######2018-05-04###### #######0.00.025####### ######FLASH INFO###### BIN file: ESPEasy_R120_4096.bin COM port: (COM6) USB-SERIAL CH340 Baud rate: 115200 ######POST FLASH###### No post flash information e...

Thank you, those are helpful resources. My PV inverter has 12 separate values that I would like to be able to read: 1. Input 1 Voltage 2. Input 1 Current 3. Input 1 Power 4. Input 2 Voltage 5. Input 2 Current 6. Input 2 Power 7. Output Voltage 8. Output Current 9. Output Power 10. Inverter Temperatu...

How do I set things up on this forum system so that every time I create a new topic, I am automatically subscribed to it, without having to remember to tick the box?

Thanks - Rowan

What process do I have to go through to add a new device type to ESPeasy? Where is this documented? Is there a getting started guide or tutorial somewhere? What I want to do is to use ESPeasy to make all the data from my solar PV inverter available via WiFi. It needs to be WiFi because the inverter ...

grovkillen, Thanks for your reply. I have downloaded your Flasher, and run it, but I'm not 100% sure what to put in all the fields on the control form. Is there some documentation somewhere? It says it has found 5 COM ports. Which do I select? They are (COM3) UZB [offline], (COM4) UZB [offline], (CO...

I reconfigured my WiFi network to use WPA-PSK, and gave it a security key. Now when I try to connect to the Wemos, it waits for a long time and then says "This site can’t be reached. 192.168.4.1 took too long to respond". At other times it counts down from 20, saying "trying to connec...

I have a Wemos D1 Mini. I have (I believe successfully) installed ESPEasy on it. I am now trying to configure it as described in https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/EasySetup. I can browse to the access point that it creates on the ESP_) network , and see the Welcome page. Now I go to a com...

I'm trying to use ESPEasy for the first time. I have bought an ESP8266 module, and a uSD card (32GB). I have successfully (I believe) flashed the ESPEasy software onto the uSD card. I have successfuly connected to the wireless network ESP_0. I can browse to the device. I selected the SSID of my wire...

Thank you. I will do as you suggest (wait for the hardware to arrive, and try it).

Thanks - Rowan

>The list of all official plugins Thank you, but it is not this list that In need, I need to know how to install the plugin, once I've chosen one from this list. >It sounds to me that you should stick with pre-built FW files. Because I have demonstrated my stupidity, you mean? I knew nothing about t...

>yes, you can

Do you mean that I can flash this device without requiring any additional hardware (USB/serial adapters etc.) ?

I have downloaded and installed the driver you referred to, ready for when the hardware arrives.

Thanks - Rowan

Yes, I did try looking in the Wiki, but I didn't find anywhere saying how to install an ino file. Of course, if this is included in the basic package, there's no problem. I can't see this though because I don't yet have my hardware (it's on order) - I am just trying to have everything lined up so th...

I need to install the Dallas DS18B20 plugin into my Wemos D1 Mini. How do I do this? Where is this process described?

Thanks - Rowan

The page https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/Tutorial_ESPEasy_Firmware_Upload recommends for an easy start using the NodeMCU V1 development board, because it has a build in USB to Serial converter. It does not make clear whether the Wemos D1 Mini (which is what I have got) also has this con...
