you need to add/change following:

in custom.h

Hey,

the repair is actually quite simple but i strongly recommend to use wires to brige instead of foil.
Bridge the red circled areas.
The blue circled area doesn´t need repair since you can solder a wire directly to the solder joint of the board

azonneveld wrote: ↑23 Aug 2024, 21:47 Has it become an option, or is it completely removed?

If you still want the highlighting on the esp8266 i strongly recommend you to make your own custom builds and only add what you really need.

Hey,

sorry for the late reply. I have just returned from a long (honeymoon) road trip up and down the east coast of the US. It was my first time and very interesting.

When I was conceiving this project I initially thought of using a strain gauge and measure the weight (0-3.6 kg) of the milk container. But space in the refrigerator was limited and I worried about the sensor accuracy as ice built up on it. Another idea would be to put the load cell unter the fridg...

But I would be hated by the coffee crew. Because inserting it into the container would be difficult due to the cramped space in the little refrigerator. I see, so my next best recommendation would be something like ptfe tubing. Stiff enough but also flexible. ;) BTW, you would have been filled with...

Hey Thomas,

nice project! I once had a similar problem with a flexible silicone hose. I therefore shortened it and attached a stainless steel tube. It violates your rule #2 but only a tiny bit

And rules are meant to be broken...sometimes.

I see.. thanks for the thorough explanation

So I'll probably stick with KiCAD, as I've always done the assembly myself.

chromo23

I used to make prototypes with breadboard and dupont wires. But since I learned to use Kicad and the prices for manufacturing PCBs are so low, I started using it instead. The more often you create a circuit the easier it gets and I have my board ready to use within a week... :) Sometimes I make a fe...

Bingo, first shot in the dark You're welcome and I guess the author of this great extension will probably also happy to tell you more about it as soon as he reads this :) Yes, whatever questions come up, please feel free to ask. I'm always happy when someone other than me finds easyfetch useful. :)

Hey Stef, 1. The pButtons are push buttons which are "On" as long as you press on it. I would expect the dButtons to be normal switches that would toggle between ON and Off. Am I mis interpreting this ? (btw I "solved" by adding rules, or is that the normal way to do it?) You are...

Looking at the pcb it seems that j5 needs to be bridged with j6 since the the connections from the relays only lead to j5 (ry1 to ry4)

There is another tester for lua pattern: https://montymahato.github.io/lua-pattern-tester/ Maybe we can add one to the docs along with the hint, that the regex is actually lua pattern.

Me neither

So in general the "pluginname#value" combinatin only gets recognized in rules when it contains a numeric value?

BTW: I am using an esp8266. Data is send with 9600bps. For testing i was sending two different lines (as in the example of one of my previous posts) alternating every second.

Hmm, that proves that either the Lua regex parser is quite limited, and/or that site has it's limitations too, as in the %-? parts, the quantifying question mark is either ignored or not supported...

Hi all, it is time to upgrade my beehive scales. Driven by a raspberry pi, they are bound to a power adapter and WiFi transmission.

You are welcome.

What are the green things with what it seems red and black buttons on your control board?

chromo23

When you have two of the same event blocks in rules only the first one will be processed. Here the solution: On Clock#Time=All,**:** do if %eventvalue2%>=06:00 and %eventvalue2%<=22:00 gpio,0,1 else gpio,0,0 endif if %eventvalue2%>=04:00 and %eventvalue2%<=23:30 gpio,14,1 else gpio,14,0 endif endon

Btw:

While testing things with my code changes in easyfetch i was looking for unused characters for device and value names.
I found out, that using "<" and ">" gives no error message but since they are used for "less" and "greater" they should, right?

Easy-AI Yep working on it, but I'm having a hard time to fit it in those 16M flash units. Also needs some extra RAM and a small datacenter. If anyone can fit all this together on an ESP it´s you.
