Resolving problem flashing ESPHome into Amica NodeMCU with CP2102

0 Komentara

I got myself ESP8266 Wireless module NodeMCU development board with CP2102 serial chip . It was advertised as original and with least problems of all NodeMCU versions.

I had nothing but problems trying to flash it with ESPHome Flashing Wizard (trying Tasmota was no better). Actually, issues were linked to CP2102 serial chip. One PC could not even recognize it when connected to USB. Other two did, but only after manual persuasion. And even than, flashing did not go through.

I finally managed to flash firmware by avoid using CP2102 at all and accessing ESP8266 chip directly. As I had other serial adapter, based on FT232RL FDTI232 USB to serial adapter I use for flashing ESPHome firmware to Sonoff devices, I build new adapter cable to connect it to ESP8266 bypassing serial interface on NodeMCU board. […]

ESP8266 Temperature and Humidity Web Service

0 Komentara

After I successfuly tested HTTP server using Arduino and Ethernet Shield, I decided to try to accomplish the same thing using wireless connectivity. I decided to use ESP8266 on NodeMCU board. That is microcontroler with wireless interface all in one package, and quite low priced which makes it interesting for various purposes. I used the same temperature and humidity sensor DHT-22.

ESP8266 is supported within Arduino IDE which is big plus, as one can use the same development environment.

Soon I realized that popularity of this platform is well earned. It was very easy to set it up. Most of the trouble is setting up Arduino IDE to compile and upload to board. […]
