[Solved] ESP Easy R78: build from source code failed

[4refr0nt]

[Solved] All needed latest source files
Hi!
I'm try build ESP Easy R78 from github source code (Arduino IDE 1.6.5-r5, ESP Community 2.1.0-rc2, PubSubClient 1.99.1 from Imroy) but have many errors.
Please, tell me about actual (modified?) necessary libraries.

[costo]

Source code of ESPEasy will only compile errorfree on the Arduino 1.6.5 software together with ESP8266 Community version 2.0.0

I'm try build with stable version ESP8266 Community version 2.0.0, but have some issue:

ESPEasy:190: error: no matching function for call to 'PubSubClient::PubSubClient(const char [1])'

I'm try with Imroy lib 1.99.1 (latest from https://github.com/Imroy/pubsubclient) and 2.6.0 Nick O'Leary (latest from lib manager).
I'm inspect both, but not found constructor for this line 190: PubSubClient MQTTclient("");

Did you start with the stable version R48 from sourceforge ?
The libraries that are needed are included in the zipfile of R48.
After installing these libraries you can compile the github R78 version.

Yes, without problem.

I'm try donloads R78 from there http://www.esp8266.nu/downloads/ESPEasy_R78.zip
and there https://sourceforge.net/projects/espeasy/
but this archives contains binaries files and flash tool only, without source code or libaries.
Libraries files exists in archive (old version R48), but may be not actual for latest release R78 (but R78 build without error)

I'm try donloads R78 from there http://www.esp8266.nu/downloads/ESPEasy_R78.zip

start the .bat in there and give port-nr, memory-size and version 078,
than it will flash your esp.
you dont have to build this version anymore.

for any other version there was here some readings how to set up the right arduino ide.
or come back, if you want directly here more help...

Thanks, but I'm flash this binaries without issues, I need help for building from latest source.

Yes, I'm reading tutorial (not actual now, because last archiv R78 not contains any source files) http://www.esp8266.nu/index.php/Tutoria ... are_Upload
I'm looking for latest libraries for R78

Are there still people using Windows??? Amazing... so, would be nice for the real engineers among us to update the wiki and explain how to upload R78 to an ESP without Windows.. Like Linux, Mac etc etc.

[tozett]

real engineers using mac?

or linux? than they know-how?

Code: Select all

sudo python esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0  write_flash 0x00000 The_Path_To_The_Firmware.bin
---
Notice that /dev/ttyUSB0 may change according to the UART you have used and the linux distribution you have chosen.

may you take the bin file from the R078 download and use the linux nodemcu flasher.
or the same bin file and look in the nodemcu descrptions for help with mac..

The moment I wrote this sentence I knew someone was going to say this. LOL.

Anyway, indeed I figured out how to do this already.. flashing went well however...

No success It keeps rebooting.

@ 4refr0nt

R78 is meant to be used with the libraries packed with the R48 release. There are no new or updated libraries provided by the developers. So if you are updating any of the old libraries you may get compilation errors.
Just stick to the old libraries.

Hi,

I would also like to build r078 from source but the files aren't correct for r078..

R078 asks for libraries that were not in r048.

Where to get the correct libraries from as:

a) Some new libraries are used.

b) some previously used libraries in r048 must have been changed in r078 as r078 gives compile errors about incorrect definitions, parameters etc.

I've tried using the libraries from https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree ... /libraries but still get compile errors.
I've tried mixing n matching libraries from r048 and github but still no good..

One thing: In my arduino board manager it shows as esp8266 community 1.6.5-1084-ga39c329, Arduino ide ver is 1.6.5

Are these the correct versions for r078?

Thanks!

[costo]

I think you are using an old esp8266 library. The board manager should display V.2.0.0.
So chech your IDE preferences for the right board URL.

Please, give me proof from developers

Yes I agree, it can't be the same as r048 - r048 compiling didn't give this error:

ESPEasy.ino:179:37: fatal error: ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer.h: No such file or directory



I'll try 2.0.0.0 community if I find out the new url - mine just gives 1.6.5

Success!

Flashing n running will have to wait till I'm home

[4refr0nt]

I'll try 2.0.0.0 community if I find out the new url - mine just gives 1.6.5

2.0.0

2.0.0

Cheers, found it and compiles ok

It looks like the link to the older stable versions are removed from the esp8266.nu index page. If you want to compile sourcecode yourself you need to start with this page:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/espeasy/

go to the bottom of the page and download: ESPEasy R048.zip
In here you will find the libraries that are used for all versions of ESPEasy including R78.
After installing these libraries you need to check for the right version of the Arduino-ESP8266.com libraries that are needed to compile on the Arduino IDE for the ESP8266 core.

Do not forget that you need to use the ARDUINO IDE Version 1.6.5 not a later one.
In the preferences of the IDE for: " Additional Boards Manager URLs: " you need to have this URL:

http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/packa ... index.json

Then install the files from this URL with this Boards Manager in the IDE.
When everything went fine you will read :

esp8266 by ESP8266 Community version 2.0.0 INSTALLED

This will make it possible to compile the ESPEasy sourcecode without warnings or errors.

Hi,

I'm having the same issue.

Finally want to jump to ESPeasy after insuring it's working for users with my MQTT plugin for Jeedom.
So I have received some Sonoff, read the post and ready to upload. Well ... I'm only using Linux, laptop, server, you don't need a Windows.
But the firmware : Windows exe, argh

Ok try the Arduino IDE, setup it and then a lot of errors.
I get these types of errors on one other project for ESP (Wifinfo) and guess what ? For real systems, case matters
I don't know if this is the case here, but seeing a lot of "not declared" with words using some upper/lowercase, make me think it can be this.

Is it possible that until now there is case lower/upper errors in sketchs ? I will try on a windows if I find one or by flashing with the command you give, but I read it needs R80 for sonoff so firmware not in binary format yet.

You make the binary yourself very easy with the Arduino IDE.
First download the zipfile of stable version R78 on http://www.esp8266.nu/downloads/ESPEasy_R78.zip
Unzip it, place the libraries from the source code in the right place, so in the library folder, this will make it possible to compile without errors.

Lastly under tab 'Tools' select Flash Size: '512K (64K SPIFFS)' and under tab 'Sketch' do "Export compiled Library"
This generates the binary file you can flash with a flasher program.

MQTT plugin for Jeedom.

i catched "Jeedom", googled and found a cool home automation solution (in french)
coool https://www.jeedom.com/doc/documentatio ... ation.html

report how it goes with compiling the espeasy...
the wiki and forum has some help
