nice, isn't it?

Exactly this was my intention to document a project inside this forum in this manner. Most projects posted here are one picture of a mini OLED with some temperatures on it and some cable stuck into a breadboard or soldered. Its a pity - ESPEasy is such a mighty tool. I am used to present other docum...

Sooooo, first real RV trip. Intermediate result Navigation using google maps on an Android 9.0 smartphone Calculated distance to target: 239 km Trip reading of vehicles odometer: 234.2 km - aha Total reading of ESPEasy-RV tripcounter: 238.87 km - perfect Speed readings of ESPEasy-RV : The whole trip...

Oh, I'm awfully sorry. What I didn't point out in this thread is one outstanding feature of ESPEasy which I am using right now and on which my preliminary thoughts were based on: The devices are able to interact with eachother only by using the unique device id. Currently I have four devices running...

Wiki

Next steps planned: - at first reunion of three test devices to one in production - no further documentation neccessary, question of wiring and cut/paste of rules / configs - determination of the elevation of the satellite dish - getting the actual pressure of the air suspension including alarm when...

Please stay honest. On a chart like this one it would look like you have mountains over there. Nice, new view....

Wiki

OK, trip done. Google maps calculation: 15.8km, odometer reading: 15.4km, trip recorder: 15.79km. Trip profile: 10% in village, 90% highway / overland. Difference odometer reading <-> trip recorder/google -2.5% My app Eco biker completly useless, recorded 3.4km overall. Surprise: the GPS-mouse of my...

Wiki

And have in mind, that the odometer of a vehicle may have a tolerance of upt to 10%. Already changing winter/summer tyres leads to differences due to different diameters as well as replacing old tyres by new ones, so its only a rough estimation of speed an distance though. Today I will have a look a...

Wiki

Well, I think lowering the update interval may help. In the past, using my old system, I made the experience that constantly counting leads to differences, too. Calculating the distance as it is now implemented makes imho more sense, because its a kind of averaging and reduces errors due to time shi...

If someone uses the free services and tools I linked in my posts, don't forget to donate the developers of these tools. Its worth it and I am pretty sure that they have had a lot of work and costs to develop and present the tools and functions.

OK, here we go, next step of my tiny project: Trip recorder. You need: - a GPS device, mine is a Neo6M , others are supported, too. I tok the Neo6M because I ave positive experiences in other automotive projects. Supported devices are documented in the ESPEasy readthedocs - a Wemos D1 - another Wemo...

Yes, Sir, it was as accurate as I already posted, -~1-2%.

Wiki

I could send you the complete trip in 100m steps geo data as an excel sheet.

Wiki

First test. I had to make a trip of 20km, lot of corners, breaking, accelerating, 70 liters of water onboard to have a rough environment for the floater. Everything stayed in its place, readings of waterlevel during driving are useable to make a decision if our next place we are heading for has to h...

Wiki

[...] You can use a flowmeter and count what you use. [...] Yes, ofcourse. But how do I get the current amount of water when filling the tank only partly? I have been at many places where I get the water not directly but have to carry it in a jerry can. And believe me, pouring rain and 250m to walk...

Wiki

The tank with its (on the road heavily slushing) mass has to be fixed as tight as possible. No way to use these kind of sensors.

Wiki

I forogot - as always - two things: 1. the readings of the water level has - between ~8l and 95l - an accuracy of 1 liter, in a tank of 32 cm of height 2. the levelling system I described before is that sensible, that it told me after filling 50 liters of water into the tank (this is placed in the l...

Wiki

OK, next step is done. This "thing" went inside my freshwater tank after being - more or less accurate - calibrated last night by using a bowl and some liters of water: Floater1.1.jpg Now its inside of the tank and I will show you, why I did these efforts (despite the fact that with some m...

Wiki

[...} As for thé float, on a long stick, you will need to think about slushing in the tank, water bar is incredible in what it can do. [...] Thats exactly what I am still worried about, fast moving water has incredible forces. And thats why I didn't trust a waterproofing only by floating on the sur...

Wiki

Thank you, but my first floater tests are surprisingly good. In a 15 l bowl today I was able to estimate the water level in a range of 1cm. For a motorhome user thats a spot landing. Never forget:We are talking about a vehicle, which is constantly in movement, at least by the movement of persons ins...

Wiki

I got a preliminary build from TD-er with event GPS#travelled and as eventvalue the calcuulated distancein meters. Works perfectly, better and more accurate than expected. You have to take in mind, that the distance only can be calculated as a straight line between two geo points. So there will be a...

Wiki

Ah, and btw.: I am using an ultrasonic sensor in my cisterne. My experience: a Spider on the sensor or a.drop of condensed water make it useless. Not so important in my cisterne, somewhen the spider would walk away and the drop of water will be vaporized. But in a height of 32 cm for 100 l of water ...

Wiki

It could have been so easy, yes. But the tank itself has a height inside of 32 cm. The sensors I've found in the past are beginnig at 300 mm to work, so that would be kind of useless. And don't forget: the moments the water has a calm surface are pretty rare. Two days ago someone posted here a water...

Next part of the project, water level in frishwater tank. My motorhome isn't the youngest one and the old system to show the water level inside the freshwater tank has only four leds to show full / medium / low / empty. But if it shows "empty" there is still somewhat of 40 liter of water i...

Eeehm, having a look at the table: -5°C = 42.8 kOhm 0°C = 98.96 kOhm ?????? +5°C = 25.58 kOhm Following the physics of any NTC, thats not possible. I suppose, you don't have a problem but the guy who produced the table. Your multimeter reading fits pretty good the overall behaviour of the thermistor...

Wiki

OK, up to now it wasn't very exciting, easy going because ESPEasy and its sensor connections is really, really, easy, wiring and configuring the sensors to get them run is pretty good documented in the ESPEasy Wiki . To give an idea: the state I reached with my current project, to display some GPS d...

Wiki

In the past dealing with NTC to get temperatures I used normal physics: One calibration point has been ice water (0°C), the second calibration point has been boiling water (100°C). You have to wait quite a while to get stable readings. Gave me a wide range and worked almost at the point. Recommendat...

OK, yes, your'e right, I am wrong. I should have had in mind that depending on the project the energy source may be much smaller than the ones I use.

Thank you for your thoughts. I am measuring the voltag using an INA219 which is powered by a GPIO directly. Works fine and shuts off the power supply of the INA during deep sleep.
