Re: LED state in simulation (debug)

Hi

Whilst I know of LEDs not reinitialising when simulation has been stopped and restarted, I've not came across it not responding to being told to switch off at the start.

Perhaps to narrow it down could you set the pins off (e.g. set output of B1 = 0 or such like)?

Regards

Re: IOT_Made_Easy - or not?

Hi I've used ThingSpeak extensively in the past but I haven't tried the IOT_Made_Easy (or not) component. I usually post data just using the api key but have used the mqtt component too. I've posted plenty on it and like a lot of such things used value pairs for the data. I'll try the IOT component ...

SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor

Hi Did a couple of tests today. Set up FC pretty much as the example file using a PIC18877 with trivial modifications to suit. Set up a little test rig to measure distance from sensor to target. Rig holds the sensor at 90' to target, vertically, with very impressive results for such a module and my ...

Re: WiFi alarm

Hi I had a project to monitor tanks (water, not Challenger) and the remote tanks communicated to a "base station" via LoRa. The base station located in the house would then communicate via WiFi / Internet to PushingBox which would subsequently send out Push/email alerts etc. However if the WiFi/Inte...

Re: WiFi alarm

Re: WiFi alarm

Hi

When simulating you should be good. Have you set the properties in Network Component correctly?

Re: WiFi alarm

Hi Ouch... remembering that far back :) I was going to update to have a Web Developer "app" access the database but realised I'd need to refresh my memory a lot..... So, from memory that still works:- When simulating using the Network Comms and and ESP WLAN components I have never got "autodetect" t...
