Image for ESP32 Rover kit

[eech]

Hi,

I wanted to try out ESP Easy on a rover kit I have laying around, but I can not find the image referenced in the readme, test_ESP32-wrover-kit_4M316k, in the latest release, mega-20220809.

Or should I use another image?

The TEST builds have been renamed to COLLECTION, a few months back. And the wrover chips are supported by the vanilla ESP32 builds. It just depends on which plugins you actually need, so you can select the matching COLLECTION A..E build, best is to have a look at the Plugin overview in the documentation. Plugins marked with just COLLECTION are available in all collection builds, the ones with A..E added are only in those specific builds.
If you need a specific combination of plugins that's not available combined in a build, just ask, and we can create a specific build.

When using an ESP32 with 16MB Flash, you can also install a MAX build, that includes all available plugins. But that won't be a wrover kit

The WROVER kit does have a hardware debugging feature... which is a true nightmare to setup.
So better use any of the 4M ESP32 builds.

Thanks for all the details, I'll give this a try.

I tried the display image, and it boot fine, however, when trying to configure the ILI9341 for the WROVER it seems to hang.
Even after a reboot... All I did was configure the system as follows (assuming P095 would work):

Code: Select all

Hardware:
---------
  
I2C: SDA - NONE
     SCL - NONE

SPI: User Defined

CLK    19
MISO   25
MOSI   23


Devices -> TFT2.4 ILI9341

CS          22
DC          21
RST         18
Backlight   5

Any idea? Multiple reboots won't help. This is the console output:

6229 : Info : WIFI : Connecting WiNi 1C:3B:F3:A8:66:46 Ch:6 (-62dBm) WPA2/PSK attempt #0

What .bin file did you install?

[eech]

I've installed the ESP_Easy_mega_20220809_display_ESP32_4M316k.factory.bin image.

That release may not be fully stable, there have been many fixes and improvements since then, so you could use the latest merge build from here (you need an active Github account and be logged in to download the binaries.zip) Update can be installed via the Update Firmware button on the Tools page. This way you should upload the 'display_ESP32_4M316k.bin' image (without 'factory', that's to be used for initial install and external flashing only)

Thanks Ton!! This did the trick, it seems stable now!
