ESP32 installation & Replacement of PCF8574
Posted: 19 May 2022, 20:16
Hi
I´m using ESPEasy on several ESP8266 and was not amused as I lookup up current release on github and if I´m right then currently for just a normal esp8266 or esp32 installation I have to download a ~650MB package. Crazy and very uneconomic out of my view in comparison to my known last releases (Mid 2021) where I assume sth. about 65MB.
Nevertheless I was not able to find any documentation or instruction about this 2step firmware file in the dist releae forlder and it´s intention to use. Kindly ask for a hint how standard installation has changed in between and how to handle. Thx!
Because of some instability issues by using ESP8266 + PCF8574 i want to try a replacement by a single ESP32 and my first ESP32 with ESPEasy. So guess the current sink connection seems to be no problem to replicate the installtion. ESP32 is specified for 28mA in current sink where PCF8574 could only handle 20mA.
But after flashing the ESP32 Mini with ESP32 4M normal version with the official esspressif tool (0x00000) I cannot recoginze any operation or access point. I´m asking if the 312k description of the flash file might be the problem for a 512k ESP32 chip?
So struggeling with this simple test setup of espeasy for an migration to an esp32 (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1509/ ... 1604068666).
Maybe you can give a hint how to solve or how to handle major points for success.
Thx!
P.S.: The ESP32 is working 100% because it was used with other firmware in another test setup before. So faulty HW should not be the case.
