OLED on

[thobastian]

Hi all,
I used the Nodemcu with espeasy (latest release/NodeMCU) with a small framed OLED display SH1106.

ESPeasy shows variables and genrell text, what I want. no problem.
But via remote (f.e. http or mqtt), nothing happens.

My log shows:
"WD : Uptime 2 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 13096"

What is the problem ?

What commands are you using exactly?

Please tell us how you invoke them.

[thobastian]

I'll try:

http://xx.xx.xx.xx//control?cmd=OLEDCMD,clear
http://xx.xx.xx.xx//control?cmd=OLED,1,1,Text

[thobastian]

nobody any ideas ?

What about import mqtt and set variables for showing ?

[grovkillen]

If you try the command through the "tools" page? Not working either?

[Domosapiens]

Syntax error?
http://<espeasyip>/control?cmd=<command>

Single slash after IP !

[grovkillen]

Syntax error?
http://<espeasyip>/control?cmd=<command>

Single slash after IP !

Good catch... But also MQTT is not working? We really need more info on exact syntax being used here...

[thobastian]

sorry, my mistake. I used this string: http://<espeasyip>/control?cmd=oled.....
without double "//"!

That istn't the error.

here is my actual log:
169412144: WD : Uptime 2824 ConnectFailures 4 FreeMem 12904
169430480: HTTP: oledcmd,clear
169442143: WD : Uptime 2824 ConnectFailures 4 FreeMem 12904
169449685: HTTP: oled,1,1,text
169457173: EVENT: Clock#Time=Sun,18:53
169472143: WD : Uptime 2825 ConnectFailures 4 FreeMem 12888

After sending the commands , nothing happens on the screen.

AND what about the "ConnectFailures" ?

[grovkillen]

The connect failures are probably from the beginning of the start, see that those are "only" 4 in 2800+ minutes.

But which plugin are you using, framed or "basic"? Because the command for the framed is OLEDFRAMEDCMD.

I know we're lacking in the area of documentation .. I'm hunting paid job assignments in order to get time to spend on this. It's not that I don't think it's awesome we have 80+ patrons and getting Ko-Fi 4-5 times a week but we're in desperate need of support to be able to dedicated all our time on this.

[thobastian]

correction: I use the normal display ssd1306.

Have I installed the plugin ?
or is it automatically installed?

[thobastian]

The commands oled and oledcmd give no error back.

but also no output on display

[grovkillen]

Yes it's either-or, if you find it in the drop down menu and you have it all set up and working then you have it

OLEDFRAMEDCMD,Off

As an example...

But you want to update the lines? With costum text etc?

[grovkillen]

You should probably use the other OLED plugin since that one you can change the text via commands.

[thobastian]

If I insert the text into the device configuration, it works and display the text.

That is, what I want: insert text to display (for status from my other system (iobroker))

[grovkillen]

Not possible with the framed OLED plugin (yet). That is why we have the old basic plugin left in the list. Sorry for the confusion.

What info are we talking about, float/integers or strings?

[thobastian]

I want to insert strings, f.e. "Door open", "Door close"

[thobastian]

and how can I use the other plugin ?

[grovkillen]

Ok, not possible no (not yet). Either use the old plugin or insert it by the use of values.

Door: 1
Door: 0

For open/closed. These values can be assigned in multiple ways. Strings are not yet possible.

[grovkillen]

and how can I use the other plugin ?

Delete the current one (in the settings) and add the other.

[grovkillen]

But, did you use the framed OLED plugin or not?

[thobastian]

I am not realy sure. here I inserted a picture.

[thobastian]

I'll try now the OLED SSD1306 plugin.
I can now insert text on the first line, but it works not for 2. /3. and so on.

Is that not possible? I'll try: OLED,1,1,test

[grovkillen]

That picture slows that it's the framed OLED plugin (the status bar on the top of the display). But you would clearly see which plugin your using in the settings page...

PS. To change the text on other lines, change the command to OLED,2,1,TEXT etc...

[thobastian]

Attach my actual configuration.

But didn't work. ESPEasy inserted allways my text into the first line.

and what about my variables configuration? I see only "Tuer1: %Z1%"
