build custom 8285 with platformIO

[chromo23]

Hi there,

i already compiled a custom firmware(mega-20211224 release) for the 8266 with changing parameters in Custom.h
Since there is no custom entry for the 8285 how do i do this?

Maybe you can check this PR: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/3934
The idea is to detect ESP8285 at runtime, so we don't need to have different versions anymore.
But have not tested it myself yet, as the ESP8285 I have are a bit out of reach right now.

I know of this but i don´t want to do experiments right now and just wanted to use the release because the serial header of the device is hard to reach.
Its a gosund sp111 and i wanted to add the HLW8012/BL0937 plugin. Or is there a 1m build i missed which already has the plugin?

i just testet this branch and had after a few minutes a "maximum flash writes reached" warning.
and unfortunately no log button to figure out why...

Well, the log is missing because of the minimal build I assume, but those flash writes shouldn't be abnormal, as nothing in the plugin does a save, do you have anything in rules that could cause that?

but 100+ flashwrites in some minutes aren´t normal either since it was a fresh build with settings erased and the writes i caused were adding two plugins.... who knows what happend. maybe i´ll investigate when i have some time and energy for this....

Was the unit power cycled in between?
If not, then it keeps the flash write count.

it definitely was because i wanted to test the plugin and with these devices it is not a good idea to leave your computer connected while plugging the device into main power.
