Re: Wemos D1 Mini running Arduino can't flash with ESP Easy

I don't think it is a power or USB cable issue as I have been able to flash other Wemos D1 Mini with the same cables.

I did try configuring some of the GPIO to force it into flash mode.

I haven't tried the reset button. I will try this next.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Wemos D1 Mini running Arduino can't flash with ESP Easy

I am fairly sure I have done this before. Taken a Wemos D1 Mini (clone V1.0) that is running a simple Arduino sketch and flashed it with ESP Easy. I think I am missing something very obvious here. I have tried three different firmware versions: mega-20180507 Dev 4096 mega-20180316 Dev 4096 v2.0-2018...

What have you been coating the sensor boards with?

I wonder if it is the connectors under the sensor that are actually corroding rather than the sensor itself failing.

Why isn't Heatpump IR transmitter P115 included in Mega?

Not sure if this question should be here or on Github.

It looks like from this post that this plug in was included in the main line, but it doesn't appear to be there. Also it doesn't appear to be in the Mega Dev version.

I haven't had any response in the discussion thread on it.

Re: WISH Support for AC/DC Current Hall Sensor ACS712 in 5,20 an 30A

There doesn't need to be direct support for the ACS712 as all you need to do is to measure two voltages. However I found that the regulated 5VDC I was using was not even close to 5VDC and of course the ESP8266 only has one analog input. If you knew you had a really constant 5VDC input, then you coul...

I have seen mentioned on this forum (can't find where now) and elsewhere that people have converted the Wemos D1 Mini to run only on 3.3V and reduced the power consumption by removing the 5V regulator and USB bridge. The idea being that the Wemos D1 mini is loaded the easy way with the ESP Easy firm...

I think this is the critical part. Currently the 128x32 display is not very useful with the available font.

Is it possible to change the title of the thread to include 128x32?

Re: ds1820 +5degrees

Great care must be taken when using temperature sensors of any kind with the ESP8266. The most common issue is direct heating from the ESP8266 module. This is particularly the case with boards like the Wemos D1 mini and its shields. Mounting these shields in a vertical stack, even two boards apart w...

As far as I can tell, if deep sleep is enabled it will only take one sample
Thank you. Very useful information, particularly regarding deep sleep enabled.

Re: Analog input - internal "Oversampling"

Oversampling typically means taking two or more samples and then determining the average or mean value of these.

I am just wondering how many samples and how quickly that are taken. I assume there must also be a processing time penalty involved.
