Build feature request

#1 Post by garnold » 24 Feb 2021, 13:23

I've started using the Generic HTTP Advanced controller and it works great for my needs. After I installed the version of firmware that contains this feature I found out that the build does not include the servo control feature. Is there a build out there to does contain both? I'm guessing the response to this question might be for me to compile my own custom build but that is beyond my skill set right now. Thank you

The controller you're referring to is indeed "testing" and servo was left out of builds that have the "LIMIT_BUILD_SIZE" set.
So I do get your problem here.

It really is time for a build service....

I apologize for this next question if it should be more obvious to me, but are you saying that if I use a testing image that does not have a LIMIT_BUILD_SIZE I would get everything I need? I'm using 4mb Wemos D1 Mini as my hardware. Again, I'm really sorry if this all should be more clear to me. When I unzip the release file it opens up to quite a few files and I'm quickly confused :oops:

If you can uncomment the plugins you need in this file and post it back I'll try to compile something for you. Scroll until you see the plugin section and uncomment (remove leading //) everything you use. We're talking for this one right ?

That is the correct board. Wow, very kind of you! I'll work on this tonight and send something your way. Thank you!

Don't thank me until it works !
I just made some tests for me and for what I need + my custom 012 LCD with special chars. Tried to upload the bin for Wemos D1 mini using the tool & OTA and both worked so I'm pleased with myself. :mrgreen:

OK, I had no idea the extent of what could be included in a build! Here's the deal, all I need are these...
  • servo
    switch
    generic http
    generic http advanced
Rather then sending the doc back to you, could you please just create a build with these item? Now that I see all the options, I really need to learn how to create my own builds. Is there a video or some instructions on how to do this? Thanks!

I just found this guide but it's on the older wiki. Still current?

Probably not.
I once made a short video on how to install VS code + PlatformIO so you can build an ESPEasy yourself.

I still need to make a follow-up on that for the next steps, but at least it is enough to prepare your system for building it.

You can find the instructions here :
https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... noIDE.html
I can also simply share my entire portable Espeasy as it's only free material. You unzip and run the main exe then specify the boards, that should work like that.

Meanwhile, I added your requirements to mine so you'll see some devices you can add that you don't need but that won't harm. First let's see if it works and if yes, I can cleanup the build or add some plugins you'll prefer.

Thank you very much Grumpf for this build. Sorry it has taken so long to test this and get back to you. I'm in the middle of a IoT POC for work and converting most of my machines over to Ubuntu here in my office so my schedule has been swamped. Your build worked just fine. I have both servo control and the http adv controller needed so big thanks!

I would like to ask you for your support in setting me up with my own build system. I now need RFID control and have read (in another one of my posts) that the support I need will need require another build. It's clearly time for me to learn how to do this. ESPEasy is becoming a big part of my IoT POC projects now so I need to be able to create sensors with the features I need. Is this something you might be able to walk me through please?

Just so you know, I'm watching your video now so that might be all I need plus your files you mentions ;-)

WOW! I just followed your video and actually built my first firmware :-) Your video was perfect and I thank you very much! I can't wait till you do the follow up and show us how to customize the build.

You're welcome ! I'm switching to Domoticz on VSphere, it's a lot faster than on a Pi but it means I need to go to every of my node to change controller. So feature request : replace controller IP on all nodes of an Espeasy P2P network, that'll be great !

I'm glad you managed to build your own .bin thanks to TD-ER video. Should you need my services again (I imagine you fixed the RFID plugin need since), don't hesitate (humbly).

You could define a DNS hostname, as that's somewhat intended for changes like these :)

Burned...

It's true of course, I was more thinking about a way (and maybe you got that already and I haven't seen it yet) to propagate some setting to all the nodes like new domain name. For example, the syslog is still by IP etc.

Not really important, just something to keep in mind.
