• WiFi issue

  in ESP8266 • 1 week

  

  I experienced many wifi connection problems with the wifi AP at home. At work, no problem. I suspect that ESP8266 may have problems connecting to certain channels or AP.
  A friend of mine got exactly the same problem with its home wifi AP. We both worked with ESP01. Maybe there is a new silicon revision now?
  ps: a colleague told me that this problem could potentially be seen if the quartz oscillator of the chip is slightly de-rated. A little temperature increase and the center frequency of the module is misaligned with wifi channels. I did not verify this assumption but this seems to make sense in some ways.

• Next espruino board ideas

  in General • 3 weeks, 2 days

  

  Same opinion... Arduino form-factor is not very convenient... Of course there is a lot of shield out there but as soon as you plug 1 or 2 shields, you just get a big cube of PCBs and that's it. A small form factor allows for an easy integration.
  The global trend right now seems to be IoT, wearables, smart things and so on. IMO the need for those trends is small battery powered connected devices. Puck.js is very well suited for wearables. However BLE is not yet suffciently established to allow people doing smart-home projects with BLE. Here comes the Espruino-Wifi.
  What about outdoor projects? Is there any possibility to follow the idea of the Particle Electron for the next Espruino board?

• USB HID not working in Windows 10?

  in Pico / Wifi / Original Espruino • 3 weeks, 4 days

  

  Just tried this code with Win7. LED is OK but no keyboard input at all.
  It seems that the Pico remains enumerated as a virtual COM port only

• New SMS module for SIM800/900/etc

  in Interfacing • 4 weeks

  

  As far as I know the SIM800/900 family can only be powered on and off with the PWRKEY pin.

• Connecting a puck to a GSM module to send sms? Possible?

  in Interfacing • 1 month

  

  You should be able to use USART1 on D28and D29 (see pinout )

  Then most of the effort is already done for SIM900 and SIM800.

• Windows 7 : device is visible but connection failed

  in Puck.js • 1 month, 2 weeks

  

  OK the problem was the device flashing process, not the BLE adapter itself. For a reason, the J-Flash Lite tool did not flash the NRF52 the first time.
  After some tests, both my CSR and Broadcom based BLE dongles are working fine :-)

  The Nordic 'Thingy' has been renamed jpthingy.
  Yes I flashed the espruino_1v92.111_nrf52832.hex firmware via a J-LINK debugger, but I wonder if I should have flashed the ZIP archive instead of the .hexonly... ?!?

  Hi guys.
  I have a case where my device is visible but I do not have any web bluetooth button appearing in the Native IDE. Here is the console output:

  The device is a Nordic "Thingy" based on NRF52. I don't use Puck.js because I temporarily lost it . . .

  I tried with both CSR and Broadcom based BLE dongles, same result. In both cases the IDE finds the device but when I select a port, no Bluetooth port appears. Check box Connect over Bluetooth Smart (BTLE) via 'noble' is checked. Espruino Native IDE version is win64_0v65.9. Any idea?

  That would be a nice to have indeed! I will keep this idea in mind for later.

  @Gordon I know that unofficial boards may not benefit from any support, but I ask the question anyway (it might also be helpful for Puck.js users): Is there a way of flashing the .hexover OTA or do we absolutely need to give it a .zip archive? nightly builds for the NRP52 kit seems to be .hexonly...
