Re: Reference project for the upcoming homepage

Shardan, you're suggesting we restructure the entire settings binary? The ESP82XX is not suitable for more tasks given the current memory allocation inside the memory/settings structure. Many plugins could have more than one value (i.e. 4) plus a lot more settings. The Dallas plugin only use one of...

Re: Reference project for the upcoming homepage

Makes not much sense in my opinion. On one side more and more sensors can be connected, on the other side it is not even possible to fully use a simple MCP23017 as input? Castrating the DS18B20 plugin down to max 4 sensors (1wire can handle up to 100!) is the solution? In the long run this will show...

Re: Issues with IR Led and ESP-01 GPIO2

Let's see if I can explain this a bit. A GPIO usually can handle an electric current of around 20 mA. A IR LED usually needs more. I know, some are listed in datasheets and catalogues with 10 ma or 20 mA... just forget it. Why? Because IR data comes in very short pulses. To get a good range for IR c...

Hello Alabama, the voltage regulator of the WeMos is not sensitive, just it has to be very small due to the smalll WeMos board.
