Re: Architecture advice please?

I did a full re-install with ESP V4.1 and Python V3.7 as suggested by Ben, only to get this: Adding ESP-IDF tools to PATH... ERROR: tool xtensa-esp-elf-gdb has no installed versions. Please run 'C:\Users\jandi\Desktop\esp-idf\install.bat' to install it. ERROR: tool riscv32-esp-elf-gdb has no install...

Re: Architecture advice please?

Hi Martin, thanks for chiming in. I looked at your pointer as well as to Ben's inputs on this, but these appaer a year or more old and I have anyway no more problems with installing and compiling after figuring out which versions to use. The problem I have is after a succesful compile, the build fai...

Re: Architecture advice please?

Made some progress today getting started with the ESP component. Downloading/installing the ESP toolchain required a number of trials to find the right combination of versions of the ESP IDF and Python that would work together as coded in the install scdript. Turns out that IDF V5 and Python V3.7 ar...

Re: Architecture advice please?

What do you guys think about LabView? It seems to me that if you want to create the possibility to interface hardware with dissimilar interfaces, LabView could be a fast and flexible solution. An autoranger with USB, a QA403 with either USB or REST API, etc. It can easily be interconnected as long a...

Re: Architecture advice please?

Yes the idea is to connect not specifically to a PC but to another piece of equipment via REST API, using Wifi and Ethernet. Not sure about BT. QuantAsylum (who comes up with these names anyway??) would be one potential user, but there are others basically PC software based. https://github.com/Quant...

Re: Architecture advice please?

Martin, the current setup is a simple 16F886 that queries some pushbutton switches, runs some relays and LEDs and displays among other things an analog input signal. https://linearaudio.net/sites/linearaudio.net/files/ARII%203.19-sel%20tech%20data%20and%20performance.pdf Adding this new functionalit...

Re: Architecture advice please?

Hi Martin, yes that could be an option; I'm not fond of throwing chips at the problem, but certainly feasible. Are you suggesting a Wifi etc enabled and Flowcode supported ESP board with external port expander and an ADC added? BTW That boardlet you linked to, incredible, $ 16 for a complete system,...

Architecture advice please?

Time for full disclosure ;-) I currently have a piece of equipment that runs on a PIC16/PIC18, running an LCD display, a couple of pushbuttons, some LEDs, a relay board and reads an anolog input. It's a few years old design and the software, developed with successive versions of Flowcode, is mature....

ESP32 Ethernet support

Hi, getting up to speed with the ESP32 family. I want to develop hardware with WiFi, USB and Ethernet support. Espressive has what they call the ESP32 Ethernet board https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... 1-2-layout, which has Ethernet functionality as well as the WROVER WiFi/Bluetooth plugin b...
