Re: I2C LCD Library... Help!

Such an interesting thread :). I am using a NodeMcu esp8266 with a LCD Display - no real marking on the backpack that I can see - I squinted... I've tried all sort of different combos to see where I can be doing something wrong but the best I can do is make the LDC blink... (FWIW I setup a blue/yell...

Re: ESP32: How to send files from internal flash to PC

If you use Thonny and keep the files on the esp32 in one directory; you can download the files in batch by downloading the parent directory.

Re: ESP32 using a Camera and saving to an SD

Thanks for the thoughts. Sadly no it does not help. I tried, but it's an excellent thought and I should probably shorten it for FAT. I actually included a machine.reset to completely separate camera ops and sdcard ops, but that did not help either. And now I can't write consistently to the sdcard. I...

ESP32 using a Camera and saving to an SD

Good Day All, Is there anyone who is using an ESP32 (any type) with a camera (any type) that is also saving to an sd card (any type), willing to share the precise pieces of hardware and what firmware .bin file they are using? I shall then purchase them and use those (and will hold you blameless for ...

Re: ESP32-CAM-MB - works with some but not all Firmware?

OK. Well. Here's an update. - I took my esp32-cam-mb and flashed it with https://github.com/Lennyz1988/micropython/releases/download/v1/firmware.bin: - I then followed https://rafaelaroca.wordpress.com/2021/07/15/esp32-camera-micropython-and-no-esptool/ specifically: import camera camera.init() img ...

ESP32-CAM-MB - works with some but not all Firmware?

Good day All My first step goal is to simply take a picture using ESP32-CAM and micropython. I have purchased a board from Amazon "ESP32-CAM-MB Aideepen with OV2640 2MP Camera" because the esp32 and the camera and sdcard come in a nice little package, no wires :). This one https://www.amazon.com/gp/...

Re: ESP32-CAM-MB + Development Board CH340G

I had the same issue, but found this solution (which is rather a workaround): Open the Thonny configuration.ini file (Tools -> Open Thonny Data folder) and in [ESP32] section you need to add: dtr = False rts = False Worked for me! The longer story is here: https://github.com/thonny/thonny/issues/14...

Re: ESP32-CAM-MB + Development Board CH340G

I have a similar problem. It seems that the Linux serial driver sets RTS and DTR such that you are always in programming mode. I tried to run gtkterm on which you can individually reset DTR and RTS and if I do this, then I see REPL as expected. It is therefore a problem of the serial driver and not...

Re: HelTec WIFI KIT 32 and MicroPython

I can't even tell you how much time I spent pursuing writing to a screen on an ESP* board using Micropython w/o a bread board or w/o using Arduino code (I don't know any C and I don't really don't have expertise yet in electronic circuits yet, BUT I love python and IOT seems like so much fun). Getti...
