I am wondering now what (if any) difference there is between "systemboot" and "wake from deepsleep" I think you may need a rule that fires when "wake from sleep" happens. I noticed when I was watching the serial monitor on level 4 when I was testing my keypad app that o...

budman1758

Just for the hell of it have you tried turning deepsleep off and wait to see if VCC publishes at all? On boot and wake from sleep are different I imagine. Maybe it needs at least 60 seconds or so.
I'm just throwing stuff against the wall to see if anything sticks...

Does this apply here?

Note the part about a custom compiled firmware?

Back to ESP32: - Updated Arduino ESP32 core to github commit from 2017-12-19 and the UDP issues seems to be fixed. - Do not use the later commits that use a newer SDK as it contains a bug in SPIFFS lib, making the ESP crashloop forever. - Currently two ESP32 units are running latest ESPEasy source ...

It's not inches but mm btw, so it would compare to 0.011"

That makes a bit more sense.

budman1758

I set up a pulse counter a while ago for fan RPM. The formula you want is the count divided by the delay time times the amount of rain is in 1 bucket. I would set your delay time to 5 minutes or so. Assuming your rain gauge is .2794 inches per bucket (which seems like a lot to me) Then the formula w...

Currently using this version. >mega-20180130 but is was doing the same thing with earlier versions. I don't know if I would characterize it as a "bug". More along the lines of a feature. :lol: Half the battle is won as to this issue on Git. https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/7...

budman1758

I just recently "discovered" something. I was under the distinct impression that in order to use these IO expanders that in order to "enable" them you had to define at least 1 of the ports as an input to get them to function. I have a project I'm working on right now that has bot...

budman1758

It does not look like the LTR-329ALS is supported. You might try to put a request for support on Github.
FHEM is a supported controller but I don't have any experience with it.

budman1758

Blocky looks pretty cool. Looks like a bit of a chore to get it setup though.

I use those ethernet boards with a Raspberry PI Zero and POE for my homemade security cameras. I send 12 volts to it and use a DC stepdown at the camera. That way the wireless isn't overloaded. Plus, you need power for it anyway so POE makes sense.

But the STM32 has no WIFI and therefore no mqtt integration.
This probably makes the ESP32 most suitable.

Probably better than Wifi.

Well.... Have a Framed version and a regular working together. They seem to be coexisting peacefully. So far I haven't seen any conflicts. When using commands to write to it manually the only one that responds to that is the non framed display. Same with clear command. Both of them have the some of ...

As a non-programmer its ESPEasy that allowed me to be able to get anything done that I wanted to do. Rules may be limiting but they do allow folks like me to get things working. There are any number of firmwares and program languages out there but ESPEasy is the only one I have found that's actually...

budman1758

I have them on different address. I was using the Framed OLED for both. Basically what happens is one stops responding and the info for BOTH of them is displayed on one.
I did not try the non framed and framed yet. Will try that and see what happens.

Well....... Poop. Guess it's back to the drawing board.

budman1758

Before I head over to Github I just wanted to ask if ESPEasy is supposed to be able to support more than 1 OLED display concurrently.
I have 2 hooked up to a unit and both display stuff but there are quite a few issues with it.

I don't think that's possible. Ports can use PWM but that does not change the voltage.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

budman1758

I'd like to know what the largest size OLED Display is that's currently supported. I have a project in mind and the bigger the better display is definitely in order. I thought I saw somewhere that a 2.4" was supported but not sure. Even bigger than that would be cool. Thanks for any pointers. :...

Now we need a "enable" checkbox for the syslog function.

PS: if you reflash the same unit, does it respond to the serial communication? Same thing. I don't think the unit is resetting at all.

OK. Tried your latest version.

The "framed" one, or the other one?
Could you please test also with "the other one"?

Same behaviour on both types.

budman1758

Tried the latest version. App acts like its working but after it runs the log folder is empty. That's where the pics are supposed to save to correct?
Also of note: It took about 50 seconds b4 the log window said it found the device and started capturing pages.

My device is not the one in your screenshot. It is COM5 also.
The APP_DATA folder contains:
esptool.exe
TimeStamp.vbs

Screenshot of what I believe is similar to yours.
I have hidden devices showing. Those are the ones that are greyed out.
Hope this helps.

The screenshots of the device manager showing com5, is that the FTDI programmer? Shouldn't the driver state something more specific than "serial..."? Yes, it is. It does show more detail if you go into the properties a bit deeper. I would have thought the same thing. Kinda generic for a $...

I'm also having the same problems on my Win 7 64 bit machine. Is this a "64 bit" problem?
As a side note. After hitting the x to close the program it is still running in Task Manager. Have to kill the process. This is on Win 7 and NOT on my Win 10 machine. Strangeness abounds......
