Re: Information on App developer projects

Hi Bob, All three UARTs and in fact most peripherals on the ESP are remappable, the hardware peripheral pins can be moved around. The only one that should be tacked down is the one that's used for programming and debugging which is usually UART0 - Channel1 in Flowcode. We have a new tool available s...

Re: Buzzer component

Hello, The Buzzer component is targetting fixed frequency buzzers, while the simulation outputs a tone the hardware will simply turn an output on and off. Martin beat me to it ;) I beleive what you're after is the Piezo component which targets a variable frequency device which is much more like a so...

Re: MQTT broker blacklisted by Norton

Hi Bob,

Maybe try a software channel for the I2C and see if that's any better. Also what pins are you using the ESP32 has some pins which are input only.

Re: Power saving mode

Hello,

You could try calling these using a C icon.

Code: Select all

HAL_SuspendTick();
HAL_PWREx_EnterSTOP0Mode(PWR_SLEEPENTRY_WFI);
Some information on it here.

Re: GLCD Display Manager Overhaul

Right now working on the WS2812B, note I have tested using an ESP32S3 and 6 LEDs with a rainbow effect to ensure no corruption in the output. The code should hopefully now allow an arbitrary number of LEDs and also hopefully work on any ESP32 but let me know if you come across any issues. I pass the...

Re: GLCD Display Manager Overhaul

Ok it looks like the WS2812B is now working, but only if you only have up to 2 of the LEDs connected. Any more and there is a gap in the transmission that is long enough to break the data chain.

I'm on it and will hopefully be able to solve this soon.

Re: ESP toolchain installation

Hi Bob, It could potentially be a fake or less then legit version of the chip. FTDI had a problem a while back where they actively blocked fake chips from auto installing using the drivers on Windows update. Could be a similar issue. Likely once a legit chip is detected and the official driver has b...

Re: Information on App developer projects

Hi Bob, I can see the in house display was developed by a "Fisher price" programmer and absolutely useless. I feel your pain, mine is terrible too. Worst still the company that created these abominations likely got paid a small fortune for it! I have a MQTT server running on a RPI locally ...
