After editing the file using idf.py menuconfig - can you just copy the sdkconfig file from the project directory?

Haven't tested - but if you edit for a 'custom' config it would save doing it twice...

Re: Working out why your ESP32 keeps resetting

It's a powerful beast... A while ago i posted about using a second esp32 as a bridge - but today I see that you can use it via a UART.
It allows single stepping (per line of code for example or s 10 ) breakpoints and a host of other features....

Re: Working out why your ESP32 keeps resetting

Thanks Martin.

You can also use the 'reason code' to do different behaviours depending on reset reason.

The esp32 / espressif toolset has a lot of useful tricks.
For example - you can set the esp32 to run a gdb stub on a crash and then check it's state / single step via UART.

For example in ...

Re: Esp32-p4 10.1in MIPI DSI Display Mandelbrot/Julia

Hi Ben,

Yes - I got a Waveshare device from China a while back - and very nice, although I've not had much chance to play with it :-( Hopefully they are onto the revised silicon with 400MHz capability now.

Esp32-p4 10.1in MIPI DSI Display Mandelbrot/Julia

I have an esp32-p4 and for a while I've attempted to get the MIPI DSI display (interface) working with the 10.1in display. Recently I finally cracked it :-)

I used the esp32-s3 fcdx file - I've just noticed that Martin has posted a guide to the fcdx file - so I might attempt a real 'p4' one - but ...

Re: Macro calling

What code are you using? - both methods given above work as expected - can you post the fcfx file you are testing?

Sorry, the key array I looked at returned 255 for 'no key'...

Re: TM1637 Macro Bug

A key press of 0..15 is probably more 'programmer' friendly - for example it allows array indexing (0..number of elements - 1) without issue? Modt computer languages work this way.

Failing that then just add 1 to the return value?

What module are you using ? The TM1637 is a 16 segment display ...

Re: Digital Input read error

What do you mean 'doesn't work' - looks to compile successfully..
Does the heartbeat 'pulse'? Can you output anything to RS232?

Re: Max7219_v.fcpx and Max7219_v9.fcpx Martin Fisher

Thanks Jorgen,

Good to know it's working - wasn't too big a change...

Not sure if I ever posted the source code (is it wrong to use the forum as a backup device?) - but be kind, it's quite a few years old (I was just starting to play with Flowcode then) - and I'm sure much could be done ...
