You mean you ordered your own 'educational training supplies'?

Ooooo nice implementation and it seems to work like a champ. I grabbed a lemonade and proceeded to slide up and down in it and it was reading out accurately.

The housemate says they asked her to sign for a package today and she shot me a picture. For some reason the description read 'classroom training supplies' but using google lens on her photo i can see next to it in Chinese reads 'water level sensor'. So I should be able give it a test later tonight ...

Just curious, why 'Input' and not 'Environment'?

Following those revised instructions, I did another platformio run and uploaded the resulting .bin and I can now see the option. I also checked and the shipment from Seeed apparently rounded the corner in Jersey City. So I should be set to try it out in a few days. On an aside, unplugging the xiao S...

I ran home on lunch, manually uploaded the bin and still no P170

uh, ok, confused. Because from the ones I compiled I was uploading .factory.bin as well and it was reloading.

The one I tried compiling. Both cases it came back up but I didn't see the 170 in the list of devices when I tried to add a new device.

From the zip file downloaded, I tried uploading the *.factory.bin

I tried uploading the one you sent, the device stopped responding. (I'm at work, device is at home)

SW

can you please test, using a build from this GH Actions run ? OK, in preparation for when it shows up, I have a feeling I'm going to need a little more info to know how to build something off of that. (not a C person and I have a love-hate relationship with git) EDIT: I think I got part way there, ...

I'm still waiting for the component to show up from Seeed, but I'll give it a shot as soon as it arrives. I'm fighting with the other sensors at the moment. (the INA219 doesn't seem to want to read current and the BME240 apparently doesn't support humidity. The two I ordered to replace it wouldn't w...

I am using a xiao ESP32S3 and wanted to monitor the power coming straight out of the battery going into the 12v->usb buck converter. I get voltage values just fine but current and power are always -0.00. I am not using a 'shunt' as it is only the xiao and a 10W pump connected through the INA219 so a...

I eventually figured out the magic word was %value% after multiple attempts and guessing.

Yeah, I knew about the addressing issue. I'm just setting up a solar charging system on a water pump on a new hydroponic rig I set up out back near the garden. It's too far from the house to easily bring house power to it, so I'm using a about 15W of solar panels at the moment to keep the battery to...

This isn't specific to the ESPEasy per se, but I'm wondering if there needs to be anything special extra-component wise between devices on an i2c chain? i.e. If I want to save space, for example, can I just use a long riser with both male and female pins and 'stack' devices with multiple pinouts onl...

Short version:

When writing any technical documentation, assume your reader is either a clueless noob idiot, or a very busy genius. (as most brilliant types are always busy, or at least assume they are -- and in the context of a technical document, they both mount to the same thing anyway)

OK, found a great concrete example. There's a page on the BME280. It includes a link, as does the espeasy interface to the formulas page. There's a formula for converting celsius to fahrenheit. The example shows using a static value like 86. There's also a comment in the 'rules' page on a task named...

yeah taking a quick peek, it looks like one address returns 12 bytes of data, the other 8 bytes. Their example uses the Wire library.

re: don't know what level to write That is kind of what I'm referring too. You get one of the two extremes. Written as though you're already very experienced or way too wordy providing way too much information. When I retire in about 10 years, I plan on trying to write fiction (mostly sci fi) for ex...

Well, I may give it a hearty try, but 'try' for me on this sort of thing will amount to looking for examples into which to cut/paste code. I don't necessarily have a problem writing code for embedded devices, I'm just not good at figuring out the requirements of existing codebase/platforms/suites in...

Not sure what the issue was, but i retyped the lines, i swear exactly the same after making changes elsewhere, and it was working again.

UMmmmmm ok. So in english.... does that mean 'yes' or 'no'? (I do appreciate the extra info, but I just need a 'starting point' to build upon -- I may need to try to hack out a custom plugin and I'm not a C guy to begin with. I already compiled and uploaded one with: default_envs = max_ESP32s3_8M1M_...

Yeah, I've been looking over both of those and posted a request just before coming back to this thread to look for responses on the first. I'm not really a C/compiled languages programmer though, even though i did do some object-based coding in CLion for a power-relay box based on an ESP8266 a few y...

I'm having a hard time trying to find a source to help me decode the various acronyms and abbreviations used in the naming of the binary files. I have a XIAO S3 with an ESP32S3 chip, 8MB Ram and 8MB PSRam. Do i want to use an 8M1M or a 16M8M image to maximize the use of it's memory? In platform io b...

How could i go about using this with EspEasy? Do I have to hack together a new plugin and compile my own binary or is there a 'generic' or other type of plugin that might work with it? https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Grove-Water-Level-Sensor/ It uses two ic2 addresses and near as I can tell by reading ...

I'm new to ESP Easy and have a 1M install (for now) on an ESP-01s relay module that I'm using to turn a small pump on and off. For some reason, now that I'm adding more MQTT publish info into the rule set, the publish line for when the pump is turned on an offi is returning Command Unknown on the st...
