Esp Easy and Wemos Motor Shield

[giobbe]

Hi,
I would use the Wemos motor shield (https://www.wemos.cc/product/motor-shield.html) with easy esp. I tried to insert the library in esp easy but it does not work. You can help me?
Thank you
Giobbe

without coding there is no support for this shield, we have support for the adafruit motorshield v2 currently

..but as this shield is also i2c based it should be pretty simple to write a plugin for it...

[giobbe]

that soon it would be nice make plugin for Wemos Motor Shield,
as it is very common
This is a arduino library: https://github.com/wemos/WEMOS_Motor_Sh ... no_Library
Thanks

Re-Up....

[krikk]

this wont help...

3 option:

1. do it yourself, doku for development is on the wiki...
2. find someone who codes it for you...
3. wait and hope that someone with coding skills and this motorshield write a plugin

Hi, did you find a solution?
I would also like to use the wemos motor shield with ESPeasy mega latest build.

thx

Hi krikk,

I found your Plugin P048_Motorshield_v2.ino when I was searching for setup of Wemos Motorshield with Wemos D1 mini running ESPeasy mega latest version.

Is there a way to use your plugin for Adafruit Motorshield with Wemos Motorshield? If not, is there an other way to use the Wemos Motorshield without dedicated plugin?

I am new to ESPeasy and I am not a developer.

thx Tungsten

Hi all,

I have set up Wemos D1 mini and Motorshield using latest ESPeasy test version.

Setup up according to Plugin48 documentation using Hex 0x30.

https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/Plugin48

https://wiki.wemos.cc/products:d1_mini_ ... hield#pins

When I send HTTP request, I see the command in log, but motor does not turn.

Any advice would be appreciated.

thx

There is a fix for the motorshield firmware.
Now the I2C scanner finds the 0x30 device.

good news. wemos motorshield plugin is under development. stay tuned...

[TungstenE2]

added new Plugin for Wemos Motorshield P_078 in Testing

https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/1492

[TungstenE2]

Wemos Motor Shield Plugin is now in official mega release!

See wiki:

Please move the rules example to the rules tutorial page

I can confirm that the "new" boards (or might be boards purchased from Wemos Aliexpress store) work without flash.
Well kinda. They work just fine with example Arduino sketches.
However, I cannot get them to work with ESPEASY.
WemosMotorShieldCMD, 0, Forward, 30 does nothing. Not even cause the command script to popup like it does whith gpio, 14, 1
Am I missing something?

[TungstenE2]

did you flash ESPeasy testing version? Only in testing version the plugin is included.

just follow the wiki.

I followed the wiki.
I even flashed an old driver board - the difference between the "new" board and the flashed board is that the new board shows in an I2C search.
When I send the command http://192.168.1.178/control?cmd=WemosM ... Forward,99
i see this in the log WemosMotor: Motor = 1 Direction = forward Speed = 99
motor is connected to B1 B2
power is connected to motorboard.
board works perfectly with example Arduino code.

the only strange thing is that when I create the device I get the error at the top of the screen
Invalid character in names. Do not use ',#[]' or space

Please help. I know I am close. version mega-20181031 dev

[TungstenE2]

can you post error message?

I am using ESP_Easy_mega-20180927_test_ESP8266_4096.bin

And I use A1, A2:
WemosMotorShieldCMD 0 Forward 30

Device Name: WemosDCMotor

Hi,

There is a 2.0.0 version of the Wemos Motor shield now being sold by Wemos which does not work with ESPEasy.



I guess that’s the Problem aussieatlarge was facing too. It is not possible to flash the motor shield as described, maybe because there is no rts pin anymore that could be connected to 3V?

Has anybody successfully used a Wemos motor shield v2.0.0 with espeasy?

Additional info:

Wemos points to a different arduino library for the 2.0.0 shield. And it seems they changed names from Wemos to Lolin.

sorry, I can not support on V2 version, but V1 version is still available and should work.
