Let's Control It

Hey Guys,
i have a problem: I have an Arduino mega which is used for some analog measurements. I need this data in my wifi. So how can I get the serial data from my Arduino into espeasy on my nodemcu???
I have connected my arduiono and nodemcu 3.3V, GND, RX, TX. Which settings do I need in espeasy?

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

Thanks

You can also try my (highly experimental) serial proxy plugin which does read strings from serial and make them available for controllers.

See https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/2529

It is still under development, but you can at least try to see if it may be suitable for your needs.

If you want to set values inside ESPEasy there is a workaround to get serial running:

- define a dummy variable inside ESPEasy.

- program a serial routine in the arduino sketch that sendsa "taskvalueset,x,y,z"
(X=Task nummer, y=Task value number, z=value to set the task value to()

For example Task 3 in ESPEasy is a dummy with two values "Analog1" and "Analog2"

To set Analog2 in ESPEasy you should send a
taskvalueset,3,2,<your value here>

Uh forgot:
Check serial speed on both sides or you get data garbage....
Don't ask why I remeber...

@Shardan
That's also a nice one, to let Arduino generate ESPeasy commands

Honestly i read this solution somewhere here at the forum a while ago... it works.
And it can do more then "taskvalueset" - every command that can be used by serial is possible.

But do not forgot, that Arduino Mega has got 5v TX, RX and ESP 3.3V
