#esp8266

Continued thread

#CanGrow v0.2 kann für den #ESP8266, den #ESP32, #ESP32C3 und #ESP32S2 gebaut werden. Auf dem ESP32-S2 gibt es noch ein paar Bugs, wie z.B. das bei verbundenem WLAN keine Netzwerke gescannt werden können.

Falls ihr die Entwicklungsversion der neuen Version ausprobieren wollt, so findet ihr sie im Branch "firmware-v0.2-dev" git.la10cy.net/DeltaLima/CanGr

Mit dem Script "cangrow.sh" kann unter Debian 12 schnell eine Build Umgebung erstellt und die Firmware übersetzt und auf den ESP hochgeladen werden.

Aktuell können die Werte der Sensoren bereits schon als JSON abgefragt werden :) Somit ist eine Einbindung in Monitoringsysteme auch schon möglich :)

Am 28.03. feiert CanGrow seinen ersten Geburtstag. Vielleicht schaffe ich es bis dahin noch das Dashboard zu bauen und die anderen offenen Punkte fertig zu stellen, sodass dann zum 1. Geburtstag von CanGrow oder des #CanG am 1.4. die v0.2.0 freigegeben werden kann 😊

Hier die generellen Systemeinstellungen, Sensoren- Konfiguration und Ausgangskonfiguration.
Sensoren werden bereits eine Hand voll unterstützt. Bei den Ausgängen kann stand heut GPIO, I2C und Webcall ausgewählt werden. Hier fehlt noch die Implementierung des "I2C Gravity 0-10V" Modul Treibers. Der für den DAC "I2C MCP4725" ist bereits implementiert. Der ESP32 interne DAC ist noch nicht unterstützt.

So, I think this furnace is meant to be controlled only via an insulated relay or switch. Not the #Sonoff smart switch I was trying to use.

I could make up something with an #esp8266, #tasmota firmware and a #relay module, the ones used with the #arduino. I've everything on hand, but then I should find a box, a power supply, wire all separating the high voltage side from the rest... it's a lot of effort for a speedy project as this...

So I'm still investigating the connectivity issues I witnessed with #rc2014bbs and here are my current findings:

1.) while the telnet listener of the #Zimodem firmware is no longer open on port 2014, the #wifi of the #esp8266 itself is still active and the reserved ip is responding to ping requests.

2.) once the firmware gets reset via ATZ it sometimes restarts /re-opens the listener on port 2014

3.) the listener dies a few hours after initial powerup of the system

4.) my memory may be failing me but those issues began somewhere around autumn last year when I updated the firmware to version 3.7.1

As a result of these findings, I have reverted the firmware on the esp8266 to Zimodem version 3.6.5. It's not an official release - I checked it out using the corresponding commit hash.

The BBS was powered up with that version yesterday at 09:00 am and it is still running about 24 hours later, which was never the case with the 3.7.1 version of the firmware. I've also noticed a few other glitches not being present with the 3.6.5 version.

It is still a little too soon to call the problem solved, but there's movement here.

Also keep in mind that RC-BOX BBS (the world's first and - currently - only #rc2014 based #bbs) is using a wifi connection so other sources of influence may also have an effect on connectivity (although they never were *that* worse before 3.7.1).

Has anyone out there in Fedi-world ever used the #Sipeed M1s DOCK (I don't know why it's in all-caps but it is) dev board?

I bought a couple of them because they were cheap, and now naturally I need to decide what to do with them.

They are orders of magnitude more powerful than my usual go-to, the #ESP8266. Supposedly, they will even run 'real' Linux.

They use the Bouffalo Labs BL808, so it looks like this is the SDK?

Any tips, ideas, success stories?

ESPHome is absolutely incredible!

Took one of the many ESP8266 boards I still had lying around, quickly did some soldering and got a nice extensible base to control some cheap LED fairy lights! They are normally battery powered, but that's boring :ms_snow_leopard:

I even did things properly this time with an extra voltage regulator and transistor so as not to overload the ESP, current wise.

Put into HomeAssistant, and voila! My partner has some cozy lights that she can easily turn on and off :3

Anyone got experience with the Wemos / LOLIN ESP32 S2 Mini dev boards? Need to build a circuit around an ESP32 (I need the hardware PWM) for an upcoming project and quite like the idea of making it as a PCB hat.

At first glance, this seems like something of a standard size - it's the same form factor as the Wemos D1 Mini and the shields are the same size too.

In the spirit of doing something new every day, I’ve dug out old #NodeMCU #ESP8266 and started playing with #ESPHome. Despite initial difficulties with connecting it to a hidden WiFi (it’s not that obvious!🤡), it actually worked and I can’t believe how easy it was to connect it and report temperature and humidity from #DHT11 sensor to #HomeAssistant.

I guess the real party trick is to build it to be in a usable form, with a thought out layout and in a case…

I guess I need a 3D printer now…😂
