Re: MQTT strange problem

Hi Bob Sorry, I am unable due to travel to open up charts at present. With ESP32s I find it a good idea to keep it attached to the PC used to program it. Then after programming run a terminal program on the port to see the dumps. They very often show a clue as to why a reset occurred, and many times...

Re: MQTT strange problem

Hi Bob

If you are using MQTT 3.1 you might be running into problems if you exceed maximum allowable lengths. Client ID for example used to be restricted to 23 characters.

Just a guess.

Re: ESP32 WROOM serial port woes

Hi Bob I feel your frustration both with devices and toolchain. I do have a few varieties kicking around and did for them manage to find pinouts that worked. Although not trustworthy by any means. On one board I could find no mention of any restrictions on a certain pin usage, but of course discover...

Re: Fiber comms

Hi Probably not difficult at all to interface to. It uses plastic fibre which will have a loss of around a db/m, yep, per metre. Connector loss will be around 5db assuming you make a good connection and have a sharp Stanley :) Most likely application would be in a noisy environment or when electrica...

Re: I2C Sniffer

Hi Bob

Only in my phone just now, but if you go to the I2c wiki page for the i2c component you will find about half way down a link for the "sniffer" although no longer called that now. Its something like address scanner

Re: AJ-SR04M Returning 9999 while using the AJ-SR04M Component

Hi One way might be to use the Mapping Function component. Briefly you enter expected input Min / Max values (e.g. 0-9999) and then the respective output Min / Max values that you want (e.g. 0 - 100). I have probably overcomplicated by trying to explain, but it is a very handy component and very eas...

Re: HexToDecimal

Hi

Not sure I know what you want to do as you don't say what a usable form actually is.

You want to take a hex number arriving over your UART, then do what with it?

Re: AJ-SR04M Returning 9999 while using the AJ-SR04M Component

Hi

I believe medelec35 did some posts on the HC-SR04 regarding timing, so it may be worth doing a quick search for them.

Re: AJ-SR04M Returning 9999 while using the AJ-SR04M Component

Hi

That board appears to be able to communicate using different protocols, however without your chart we have no idea how you have setup. If you post your chart it would help, and also detail connections.
