Let's Control It

Yes I did upload both bin file one after another within a minute from same computer. I think spiff is working because I hardcoded my access point and password and it saved it for me.

Thanks

happytm

I was able to hard code some settings and esp device now connected as station on local network. But there is still no GUI and no serial communication. I am able to communicate via telnet.

Please help.

Thanks

happytm

I tried as you described process in earlier post. I also uploded boot.txt and rules.txt files from your wiki page using espeay. I get following serial data but no gui at fixed ip: Thanks 273 : WIFI : Connecting HTM1 attempt #0 274 : IP : Static IP : 10.1.10.70 GW: 10.1.10.1 SN: 255.255.255.0 DNS: 10...

Thanks for your clarification. I am trying to build on work you have done so far.

happytm

Yes I will do it. I also want to use the one linked below. It is metal so more srurdy but little expensive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X--Y-pvRgRo https://www.ebay.com/itm/Modern-LED-Wall-Light-Up-Down-Cube-Outdoor-Indoor-Sconce-Lighting-Lamp-Fixture/293040638300?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&a...

Nice job.

I have ordered another smaller night light too. Challange will be to fit everything in the case but it has mains power. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33045547622.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.0.0.576fcscscscsqw&gps-id=pay_success&scm=1007.13409.84631.0&scm_id=1007.13409.84631.0&scm-url=1...

Nice find @enesbcs .I am working on a standard multisensor hardware using esp8266,bme280,IR receiver,IR transmitter,APDS-9960,neopixel,rcwl sensor and pir sensor. I will try to fit all on this case.

Thanks.

happytm

Can you please give little how to guide so I can setup my esp8266 device using your firmware. I looked at wiki pages but it does not have information on how to get started.I was able to compile & upload for esp8266 but in serial console I get this: ⸮ogl`orǛ⸮g#⸮ls⸮⸮gb⸮d⸮⸮dd⸮⸮$`⸮⸮n⸮ SPIFFS? sd I w...

You can use ProMini extender plugin.It works on I2C bus though.

Thanks

In above video he have solution which is cheap and you need to change only 1 resistor. ESP32 lasts 30 hours without sun according to his calculation.ESP8266 would last probably the same time or little more. As he explained many battery bank do not allow charging/discharging at the same time so they ...

Very informative video about the subject is linked below:

More affordable option is to build that charger device for cheap from parts like : https://www.ebay.com/itm/6V-2W-0-35A-80MM-Mini-Solar-Panel-Module-Round-Poly-DIY-Epoxy-Cell-Battery/173874578122?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.com/itm/10PCS-TP4056-Min...

happytm

Understood.

Thanks.

happytm

Nice Concept specially if it allow use of analog pins & interrupt pins of Pro-mini (which is not possible with ESP).

Thanks for your efforts.

happytm

You are right it is expensive if you buy board.B ut he replaced the chip directly on STM32 (blue pill ) with GD32 chip.But is it worth the effort ? may be not.He shows software part in his video between 23 & 28 minutes mark.Basically he used Naze32 bootloader to make it work.

Thanks

happytm

You must have seen this board GD32F103RCT6 following video goes in the details:

Datasheet for GD32F103RCT6 :

Lot better than STM32 at the almost same price.

Thanks

I looked at you wiki page and it is interesting concept.

Happy testing is understatement.

Jimmy, Can you please compile a firmware for me mentioned here at the end : https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/2490.

Dampa,

Did you get your 12 led clock working. If so can you post your rule set please.Also wondering if it is possible to use two different colors for hour and minute leds.

Thanks

Anybody who can not compile custom firmware with above plugins with IR support can use jimmys01's firmware he was kind enough to compile for me.

According to TD-er The BME280 and OLED have been known to work on ESP32.

happytm

I was trying to compile latest version with your instruction because there are few changes for better in IR plugins since then.

I will try to post it on github issues now.

Thanks anyways.

Yes to both but no success.there are too many errors for espeasy but other simple sketches compile fine. I will wait until you return.

Thanks.

Thank you Ray for your custom solution. Unfortunately I tried that with custom.h file but it still have lot of errors.May be my arduino setup is all messed up.

happytm

Oh OK. I knew I was not paying attention.

Thanks.

happytm

Thanks.But I do not see it listed on devices pages. It seems everything else is listed but not these 2 IR plugin for some reason.Can some one else try to load DEV bin and confirm ? I want to make sure I am not doing something wrong.

Is it possible to add PME extender plugin (_P011_PME.ino ) to get efficient use of pro mini to get analog input,extra GPIOs and use of interrupts from pro mini ?
I see you already implemented I2C interface.

happytm

Dear Martinus,

Does it compile with following plugins ? :

_P059_Encoder
_P062_MPR121_KeyPad
_P017_PN532

I know you mentioned a while ago IRTX and IRRX still do not compile but have you made any progress after that?

I tried and failed to compile so asking for your help.

Thanks

Yes it is a bridge but it is also local MQTT broker on esp8266 and can be used locally without ever requiring cloud broker.Only problem is it is bin file provided by author so there is no chance of changing topics or assign fixed IP for broker. Looks like it use DHCP to assign IP automatically. I wa...

#2 Post by AndrewJ » 23 Sep 2017, 09:16 One thing I can suggest to check (from bitter experience! ;) ). Make sure that the client name is different in each ESP or other device connecting to your MQTT broker. Otherwise it won't work. Hope this helps. Right now I am just testing with 2 esps and there...

Hi,

instead of compiling from source I uploaded latest bin file and both ir plugins are available on devices page now.
