Great!
I'm definitely looking forward to it.

I've two GP2Y10 running in a selfmade circuit and some in my shelf so i can test changes.

Ooops.. sorry double post

Shardan

Hello again, Settings look good as far as i see. Things i would change: Set the Formula field to %value%. I've seen some sketches not working without this. Set the "Decimals" to 0 - there is no 0.1 pulse so decimals are not needed. I'm not sure if the sketch works without a "Debounce ...

In the ESP Easy firmware it would be nice if the IP address of the ESP was dumped out the serial port on boot up after the IP address is assigned. I am stuck with a cable modem router and it takes a long time to look up the IP address of a newly configured ESP Easy device after doing the initial 19...

Hello, what kind of electricity counter? The old version with a rotating disk or an electroic counter with a flashing LED? Can you please give a screen shot of the tastk configuration? It is difficult to say what might be wrong without that, The high level shoud be no problem as a pulse should be co...

Shardan

As announced i did some checking. Definitely the TSOP4838 produces some spike pulses at the output. If these cross with a ir signal the decoded results are obviously wrong. As far as i can say now the pulses are caused by some even small noise on the TSOP's power supply line. The data sheet recommen...

Congrats :) My LED remote is a cheap thing too (see pic). LED-Remote_640.jpg I have the same problem with the arduino / IRrecvDumpV2 and the ESPEasy. But I'm not sure about the issue is caused by the remote as other remotes of better quality (Yamaha, LG, Samsung) run into same troubles. Even without...

Shardan

I'm not sure if it is the "Raw" code you find on some IR descriptions. Anyways, i just tested for some real values, lights off at night to reduce noise, sending from about 10 cm distance. My LED stripes use a NEC encoding, 32 Bit length and the code F7C03F (16236607) for switching on. This...

This says the 1 MOhm ressistor won't work with the WeMos, sorry. 1 Meg is the internal resistance of the ADC pin, wasn't meaning any external resistors with that. ;) You have to ensure that current through the pin << crurrent through the divider for decent, linear readings. Running a buck/boost con...

Shardan

It might be more easy to use a separate DHT and some jumper wires for that testing.
A DHT-22 is cheap nowadays.

Don't forget a 10 K-Ohm resistor between 3,3V and data wire if using an "extra" DHT.

Shardan

Hello again, maybe some things should be mentioned. I described what I did - it works for me for some months now. Do your LEDs really send an IR signal? You can check easily with a webcam, webcams usually can see "near infrared" at 940 nm - this should be used for IR remotes. Maybe a smart...

Shardan

Just own (confusing) experience with the Relais-shield on Wemos D1: the shields apply a specific interface-pin. Which interface-pin is used by the DHT-shield for the data-communication to the processor? Is it really GPIO2/D4? I've checked that on my WeMos samples. D4 / GPIO2 is correct. It should w...

Hello, I use IRrecDumpV2 on a original Arduino without problems. I ran into several problems to flash the routine on my Uno when using my Arduino IDE usually used for compiling ESPEasy. Seems some Libraries conflict. Installing it cleanly on another computer made it work like a charme. I can't say ...

Shardan

Hi. Do you have the chance to add an IR Receiver on the ESPEasy to check which code is receiving? ESPEasy has a IRRec plugin. Definitely you can. I have designed a printed circuit board that carries an ESP-01, 4 IR-LED's and a TSOP 4838 IR-Receiver. Stückseite_IR-Modul.jpg Lötseite_IR-Modul.jpg But...

Shardan

Stepping up Lipo voltage to 5V just to burn it down to 3.3V through the linear regulator is by far the biggest waste of energy. Also the USB/UART bridge on the wemos will unneccesarily eat your battery. You should use a different, less complex module for this task and at best feed it through a low ...

Shardan

Hello, the ESP-12F has several GPIO's so it should be no problem to connect a pulse counter. From the description of the witty board i see that GPIO 16, 14 and 5 are not connected to any board specific parts. You may connect the pulse counter's "+" to one of these GPIO's, e.g. GPIO 5. Conn...

Shardan

On the pic you see the pins.

Pin 1 = Rx = GPIO3

Pin 8 = Tx = GPIO1

Honestly i don't have any experience what happens if you leave it in boot/firmware mode for long time. There might be a way around: Within the setup of ESPEasy you might switch off the serial port (under Tools --> Advanced, uncheck the "Enable serial port" box) and use these pins as GPIO1 ...

Shardan

I have the same problem. But I need to use both GPIOs, so I connect Gpio0 to gnd, and gpio2 to gnd to get info about two switches. How can I solve booting problems? ty Hello Kruu, short and simple - you can't. GPIO0 is hardcoded to a specific behaviour: If GPIO0 is connected to ground at startup or...

There are several better dust sensors, even laser based ones on the market. Even different readings for PM2,5 and PM10 are availlable. The common disadvantage is a price much higher then the GP2Y10 For exact measurements they are better, no doubt. For controling an air cleaner or such the GP2Y10 doe...

Shardan

Hello all, i took this from my post in another thread, sorry for double post. There are some issues with the plugin for the GP2Y10 dust sensor that should be improved. Sadly my programming knowledge is completely outdated so i'm not able to do that myself. The improvements are based on the datasheet...

Shardan

Same here.

I can't set up additional wires so i have to connect the sonoff through the wall switch.

Besides that remote control is nice but e.g. for a visitor using the wall switch is easier then learning to handle a tablet/phone/pc remote.

Regards
Shardan

Shardan

Hello, that sounds logical. I will definitely test that and let you know. Thanks for that. We have a meteo station in my city which showing hourly results of dust PM10 and PM2.5. I know where is located, so maybe go there and compare the results. This can be interesting. Definitely interesting. :) ...

Shardan

Hello all, sadly my programming knowledge is about 20 years old and worthless nowadays. There are some things that should be implemented with the "dust" module for the GP2Y10 Oversampling The sketch starts an oversampling with adding 25 measurements from the sensor. Any reason why the resu...

Shardan

Hello Vojta, I've tested several GP2Y10 meanwhile. Sadly I have some bad news: There is no "universal" formula for this sensor. I tested a dozen of GP2Y10. They are varying in zero point and slope more then 30%. Says a formula working for me will most likely not work for your sensor. So th...

Shardan

Same from me.

As I don't have actual programming knowledge my focus would be
on hardware, and Wiki. As i'm a native German speaker a German
translation of the wiki pages would be possible too.

Regards
Shardan

Shardan

Hello, I have a similiar module, just no time to test that yet. In general: The output is an "open collector", so it should be no problem to connect the counter to an ESP. The schematic is easy: "-" output of the Counter to ground "+" output of the Counter to a GPIO of ...

Seems the dual wall Switch is not on the Itead page, only the retired Version.

The actual one channel is availlable at

Hello again... The description is somewhat short about some installation points: I managed to get platformio to run with Win-7. You have to install clang (LLVM), python 2.7.x and git. Then open atom, go to file -> settings -> install and sear for "platformio-ide", install it. With the firs...

Shardan

Hello again,

meanwhile i got atom starting on my linux machine, was my fault.

But anyways..... starting "atom ESPEasy-platformio opens atom and the cloned repository.
Pressing [F7] does just nothing as with windows.

There is something missing on standard installations.

Shardan

Mem sizes compiled to?

I use ESP01 with 512, some newer with 1024,
and ESP 12E/F and ESP-07S with 4096.

There is no hint for which size these binaries are compiled.

you may connect to the USB-Ground either, that should be OK.

Hello, I tried it, loaded down the git repository and installed Arduino IDE on a newly installed computer so everything should be clean. Added the board manager, libs etc as usual of course. Compiling ends up in a "missing SSD1306.h" error. i can't find the header file anywhere so this mes...

Shardan

Hello,
Sorry i don't see the Image.

But basically that is right.

+5V to the PIR and the voltage regulator as shown in the video.
Output from the PIR to GPIO-2
and don't forget ground! Ground should be connected to the ESP ground.

Regards
Shardan

Shardan

Hello, Internally this PIR HC-SR501 sensor works with 3,3 V as the ESP does, it uses it's own on board voltage regulator. So it's no problem to connect the output pin of the sensor to a GPIO of the ESP, no need for resistors and such. Using a ESP-01 I'd prefer to use GPIO-2. Generally i'd say using ...

Shardan

Many thanks,
This would be really helpfull for me.

Regards
Shardan @ work

Shardan

You still can still change sources and test things. The whole reason to use platformio is so that everyone uses the same libraries. And then you dont get the compiler errors you're complaining about. Everyone is still free to just use the normal repository with the classic Arduino gui. Maybe someon...

about double libraries, then compiling is stopped.

Shardan

Hello, in general the ESP can be used with batteries. That needs some specialised software, i don't think ESPEasy is the choice for this. The little battery packs do not have enough power, they are just for quick testing. You may use a LiIon or LiPo battery, they are rechargeable and have much more ...

Shardan

You're welcome. Sorry i couldn't give better news. It is a bit critical with these items. Sonoff basic works as at least the relay is connected directly to the ESP. Sonoff Dual does not work as they use this additional chip, might be a STM8003 or similiar MCU. Sonoff 4ch should work, i will test it ...

Shardan

Hello,

the ESP-014 uses an ESP8266 for WiFi and a separate microcontroller STM8003 connected to the ESP-chip.

I doubt if it is possible to get the sensors on the board running with ESPEasy as they might be connected to the STM8003-chip.

Regards
Shardan

Shardan

Hello, i suppose i have to disappoint you. The PSB is based on ESP-8266. The little drawing on the page you mentioned shows that TxD and RxD are lead through another chip and not connected to the outside pins. So it won't be possible to flash ESPEasy on the PSB-circuit. All key and relay connections...

Shardan

Global Sync is a bit special. I tested it following http://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/EasyGlobalSync for driving a remote LCD display (Sensor on one ESP, display connected to another LCD). It should be possible to make use of rules to switch a LED / relay from remote values. Regards Shardan

The "waterproof" version of the DS18B20 is a standard DS18B20 with a (more or less) long cable and a waterproof tube around the sensor.
I have some of them running with ESP-Easy so i can confirm they are running.

You even may connect several DS18B20 to the ESP-Chip, it works.

I would also recommend to use relay boards with optocopplers, they provide full electrical isolation of MCU and Mains.
