To bad in this forum board doesn’t have a quote reply, so i quote your reply.

Thanks for the reply, this forum seem “lonely” without you, but i think you are a spamer.
so i hope someone else to reply.

Hi Teguh

It look like you are compiling the wrong library , you should NOT USE spiffsdfat library !
For some reason , probably wrong define in pins.h , you are including spiffsdfat.h !
Verify where this appends and what define is causing this!
Regarding choise of prototype …I believe you could start with proto n.1 :
It use a shift register
A i2c 20×4 LCD
A i2c Real time clock
Analog GPio is used for Button input
I will prepare a hardware schematic of you tell me what you want to use!

Hi @pbecchi

Thanks for the reply.
I Will Use 8 Channel Relay Module, so it have LOW On,
And I will use OLED SSD1306,
it will glad if could change the code.

I will try to compile it again with Arduino IDE 1.8.3 64 bit + esp8266 v2.3.0 on Kubuntu Linux 17.04.
Because Linux is case sensitif, and using / for path, i got a lot of work when compile your.

FYI, I can compile OpenSprinkler-Firmware from Ray commit be0369d , without much work.
my arduino library is only:
Adafruit_Circuit_Playground, Adafruit-GFX-Library, arduino_424003, Firmata, Robot_Control, Robot_IR_Remote, Robot_Motor, SSD1306
With just that library, i can compile OpenSprinkler-Firmware and upload it with this step:
– then estrak it and rename the folder OpenSprinkler-Firmware-master to OpenSprinkler
– then rename mainArduino.ino to OpenSprinkler.ino
– after that, i put OpenSprinkler folder above to ~/Arduino/
– Download https://github.com/squix78/esp8266-oled-ssd1306/releases version 3.2.7, extract it and rename the folder to SSD1306
then move folder SSD1306 to ~/Arduino/libraries/
– then open OpenSprinkler.ino from the folder ~/Arduino/OpenSprinkler/ with Arduino IDE
– then Compile and Upload it to WeMos D1 Mini

For your mod , Here my step by step:
– I get github ForOS_Bee2_0-OS_Solar-OS_3_0 commit 03f15ae on 7 Jun 2017
– Then rename the folder OpenSprinkler_Arduino_V_2_1_6 to OpenSprinkler_ESP8266_V_2_1_6
– Then move the folder OpenSprinkler_ESP8266_V_2_1_6 to ~/Arduino/
– Then Go to ~/Arduino/OpenSprinkler_ESP8266_V_2_1_6/
– Change the Pin.h to proto 1

#define PROTO 1    ///////////////////////board type selection////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////proto board 1////////////rear garden//////////////////////////////////
#if PROTO==1 // shift register 

#define SDA_PIN D5                         //:redefined 
#define SCL_PIN D2                         //:redefined
//#define OPENSPRINKLER_ARDUINO_W5100      //:required for ESP8266 not using shift registers
#undef OPENSPRINKLER_ARDUINO_DISCRETE      //:shift registers
#define SHIFT_REG
#define BUTTON_ADC_PIN		 A0            // A0 is the button ADC input				//:analog buttons
#define LCDI2C								//:i2c LCD
#define SPIFFSDFAT							//:no sd ....EMULATED ON fLASH
#define ADDITIONAL_SENSORS ESP8266_C         //:additional sensors to ESP 
//#undef EEPROM_ESP                            //modify in libsel.h  EEPROM is now on flash

#elif PROTO==2

as you can see, in the Pin.h for Proto = 1 using #define SPIFFSDFAT
So i will delete it.

#define PROTO 1    ///////////////////////board type selection////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////proto board 1////////////rear garden//////////////////////////////////

//#undef EEPROM_ESP                            //modify in libsel.h  EEPROM is now on flash

#elif PROTO==2

– Remove file EtherCardW5100_o.cpp and EtherCardW5100_o.h

– Open File OpenSprinkler_ESP8266_V_2_1_6.ino using Arduino IDE
Then Hit Verify….

And i the end, it failed to compile.

I Attach the Last Error Log file.

Please help…., i would like to have all the library to compile it.
Please upload it to Github.
If you have see ESP Easy, they give all the library for the Arduino, here the link https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/tree/mega/lib
i hope you can provide the library too.

Sorry but we should restart from the beginning……. You have far to many errors and a lot of people compiled successfully with no or little problems!
Have a look to previous post and see what other has done to compile!

First GitHub contain to many directories and file that are useless ,so extract and compile OpenSprinkler 2.1.6 directory with only the subdirectories that contain the libraries you may need.
Second define the configuration of your HW , the Esp pins you want to use and pins.h defines ( use comments and other prototype examples).
If you want to send me your HW schematics I can do your pins.h proto configuration for you!

If those steps are done correctly you should compile with no errors !

[TeguhTeknisi]

Thanks for the reply.

I’am newbie, As far i know, the problem is related to the library.
secomd because i try to compile using Arduino IDE under Linux and you using windows.

i have been using google to solve the problem, and this point out to this forum and on esp8266 forum ( http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=8944 )
but i still don’t understand.

i try to compile using this https://github.com/pbecchi/OpenESP8266_Sprinkler/tree/ForOS_Bee2_0%2COS_Solar%2COS_3_0/OpenSprinkler_Arduino_V_2_1_6/
and of course, i only move the Folder OpenSprinkler_Arduino_V_2_1_6 to ~/Arduino/ and rename it to OpenSprinkler__V_2_1_6
just as i tell you before.
i attach the screenshot about it.

I will use this schematic https://github.com/n0bel/ESPrinkler2/blob/master/ESPrinkler2_schem.jpg , it use OLED, DS1307 and 74HC595
but i will using Relay Module like this http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1978/9859/products/03_63_grande.jpg and connect it to 74HC595
and for the button, i will use WeMos D1 Mini Pin D3 (GPIO 0), D4 (GPIO 2) and D6 (GPIO 12)

I hope you could help me.

Teguh.

This is a pins.h section for your HW schematic :

#define SCL_PIN gpio
#define SHIFT_REG

#define PIN_SR_LATCH gpio // shift register latch pin

// OLED 128*64 DISPLAY
#define LCD_SSD1306
#define LCD_RST gpio // LCD rst pin
#define LCD_ADDR 0x3c. // LCD address

You have to insert appropriate GPio n. and add this section to pins.h …don’t change any other define!

[TeguhTeknisi]

Thanks for the reply,

in previous reply, you said, i don’t need sdfat library -> https://opensprinkler.com/forums/topic/opensprinkler-on-esp8266/page/7/#post-48124
why in the pin.h above, it have sdfat library ?

Why OE is connected to GPIO ? If i read this https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ShiftOut and In this schema -> https://github.com/n0bel/ESPrinkler2/blob/master/ESPrinkler2_schem.jpg , the OE is grounded.

Why i have to give LCD_RST Gpio ?
There is no more GPIO to Assign for LCD_RST

Is this right?

#elif PROTO==13 //ADD NEW N. for your prototype
#define SDA_PIN 4 // Wemos Mini Pin D2
#define SCL_PIN 5 // Wemos Mini Pin D1

#define LCD_RST gpio // LCD rst pin
#define LCD_ADDR 0x3c. // LCD address

What about the library i ask you?
Can you give the library?

in file EtherCardW5100.h , itt ask #include <Arduino-Ping-master\ESP8266ping.h> , this Windows things…. Linux will be like this #include <Arduino-Ping-master/ESP8266ping.h>
Where i can get it??

LiquidCrystal library, what version and where you get it?

And the last, to compile, i have to re download the github and have to do all i have write in here https://opensprinkler.com/forums/topic/opensprinkler-on-esp8266/page/8/#post-48136

or just continue from the last time i try to compile it?

i have try to compile with pin.h like above,
and i got this error:

In file included from sketch/EtherCardW5100.cpp:36:0:
OpenSprinkler.h:262: error: 'LiquidCristal' does not name a type
 static LiquidCristal lcd;
        ^
exit status 1
'LiquidCristal' does not name a type

i use LiquidCristal Library v1.2.1 from Francisco Malpartida

I’am sory if i have alot to ask, but you github is hard to compile under Arduino IDE and Linux.
Perhaps, the othet person that have succes compile it, using MS Visual Basic just like you did.

[pbecchi]

For unused pins pin_sr_oe lcd_rst you should use a dummy pin n. (a,free pin ).
You can find indication on where to find libraries in Readme or in previous posts.
Regarding LiquidCristal and FatLib libraries:
all your define are correct?
Then you should not use those!

May be you better restart from scratch!

[TeguhTeknisi]

Thanks for the reply.

I have been read the readme in here https://github.com/pbecchi/OpenESP8266_Sprinkler/tree/ForOS_Bee2_0%2COS_Solar%2COS_3_0,
but this link https://github.com/Dave1001/OpenSprinkler-Arduino/tree/master/Controller_W5100_V_2_0_7/libraries not exist anymore.
that why i ask you in every reply.

And in the readme doesn’t have #include <Arduino-Ping-master\ESP8266ping.h> and LiquidCrystal_I2C.h ( needed in penSprinkler.h line 55 )
I have re read this topic from page 1 to 6, and i dont find the post that mentioned where i should get the library.

What i found out, there is user @fivos that using this LiquidCrystal v1.2.1 library https://opensprinkler.com/forums/topic/opensprinkler-on-esp8266/page/2/#post-41825 ,
but when i use that library to compile, i got the same error.
Here i write the error again:
In file included from sketch/EtherCardW5100.cpp:36:0:

OpenSprinkler.h:262: error: 'LiquidCristal' does not name a type
 static LiquidCristal lcd;

'LiquidCristal' does not name a type

The defines should be correct, i attach the pin.h so you can read it.

Btw, i will give up for now.
I will wait until you clean up the file in github, give a proper readme file.
I still want to use 74HC595, so i will waiting.

Thanks for your time.

I will take my time to mod https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinkler-Firmware
to make the Button B1, B2, and B3 using GPIO Pin on WeMos D1 Mini,
I will try to disable Buzzer, and Disable RF TX and RF RX and use it for Button Pin.
I Will be glad if can give sugestion about how to disable it, i have try edit define.h and assign to another pin, but failed.

[pbecchi]

Have a look to first message on page 7!
The statement the give the error in OpenSprinkler.h is under #ifdef and should not be executed if you define LCD_SSD1306!

[TeguhTeknisi]

Thanks for the reply,

The first post is from @ja.charer , using https://github.com/dancol90/ESP8266Ping
And i have said https://github.com/dancol90/ESP8266Ping in my post in page 8 first message, i use it too.
it will be glad, if you willing to read my reply.
but it seem you’re to busy.

i’am sory, i’am not touching OpenSprinkler.h, because you said only change pin.h
and i already upload my pin.h, you can see, i only do what you have said.

Never mind, i already give up.
have a nice day.

i have modified the pin button to using gpio in https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinkler-Firmware .
so i will continue to play with it.

[Daijoubu]

I’m surprised this topic hasn’t gotten any activities since last year but after reading through a couple thousand line changes of code between release 217 and current master of Ray’s code…it just occured to me that the ESP8266 merge (for OS3.0) is not the same code as pbecchi’s mod?

Would it be advisable to use OS3.0 code to run a custom ESP8266 or should I stick to pbecchi’s? I’m a web programmer and I can find my way through C.
I’m planning to just use 2-3 GPIOS per zone to drive a H-bridge for a DC latching valve (Orbit 91592)
Would a L298N provide enough current if I parallel the outputs for 4A max? Voltage drop is quite high however, specs list 4.9V @ 2A (!).
The RobotDyn L298 board have extra transistors and I can drive it with 2 GPIOS only, otherwise I do have a board with mofsets that can handle up to 7A (“XY-160D” red, some green, replaced the 1000uF cap with a 2200uF) but that board needs 3 GPIOS per H-bridge, so a total of 6 for 2 zones.

Btw, in order to use GPIO 9 and 10 (SD D2/D3, possibly different GPIO depending on the board), they must not be connected to the flash, so the pins will either have to be lifted or the trace cut off then pulled to VCC. And then flash with DIO mode using ESP Flash Download Tool, speed difference is minimal if you bump the SPI speed from 40 to 80Mhz

I guess I’ll modify my board once I receive the 4MB/64Mb flash chips, would 1MB/8Mb be sufficient however?
Perhaps not enough for OTA update? How big is the compiled code?
I may be able to get away with using GPIO 0, 2, 12, 13, 14, 15 (16 has no INT_PULLUP/OPEN_DRAIN since it has a builtin pulldown for the wake from sleep)

That leaves me with no GPIOs for buttons, I do have some expanders on order to play with.
It would be nice to get a rotary encoder working 🙂

My LCD is also a SH1106 1.3″ (SSD1306 is 0.96″) and it has a 132×64 framebuffer so the library has to take that into account and shift the image 2 pixels down.

[os061217]

That’s a lot of questions. I will give my input on the 1st. I had success with both code sets but the 3.0 code has other fixes that you will probably want.

I am working now (since 10 month) on Esp32 version with a lot of 3.0 features.
It may be a good solution if you take an Esp32 with builtin graphic Oled lcd since they have a lot of Gpios available.
To drive a latching solenoid I use 2 DPDT signal relay rated 2 AMPS avoiding this way any voltage drop. You must take care of all possible voltage reduction sources and in paticular of the length of wires connecting to the solenoids.
Regarding Esp flash size, i recommend at least 4 GBytes.

I’ve modded by ESP8266-Pro module from RobotDyn, lifted the flash chip’s PIN 3 and 7 and connected them to VCC, previously already flashed in DIO mode using ESP Flash Download tool.

Was able to use GPIO 9 and 10 to blink LEDs no problem, so 9 GPIOs free if I keep UART and I2C

I had some troubles with the inrush current of the 2000uF capacitor charging, was initially using a 2A boost converter module with a small SOT23 MT3608 IC but its built-in soft start wasn’t that great and the 5V USB power adapter goes into over current protection for a couple of secs until it’s charged up.

I then switched to a common XL6009 based QSKJ 4A boost converter and that one seems to far better (also have an ENable pin broken out if I have enough GPIOs to make use of it)

Also, if I don’t disconnect the boost converter’s output after charging up the cap and try to switch on the valve, it will keep sinking lots of current and you see the LEDs dim, had I have the ESP8266 connected for that test, no doubt it will reset.

So either have a separate PSU for the ESP8266 and a beefy 24V PSU just for the valves (of which I do have a spare one) or find some sort of way to limit the in-rush current as well as to disconnect the boost converter, using a MOSFET perhaps?

As for the L298, with its output paralleled, I was able to switch on/off the valve at 24V/2000uF during my test.

I really think that , to make sense, the latching solenoids should be operated on batteries.
Otherwise the additional cost , complexity and the lower reliability versus 24v Ac it is not justifiable.
In my case using Lipo batteries the charging current is not a problem and there is also the simple and cheap solution to use a 9v or 12v batteries for the solenoid and a separate one for the Esp.

I already bought 2 of these Orbit DC latching valves and I do like that they require no power to stay on.

The valve control is working fine now, I used a 2 channel relay board I had laying around as high side switches at the input and output of the boost converter, I can open the close the valve just fine with 20V and 2000uF, the valve sees about 18V.

Been shopping for MOSFETs, all logic level 3.3V TO-220 are expensive at $3-4 a pop, may end up using an N-channel AO3404/IRLML0030TRPbF or P-channel AO3407, pretty cheap on eBay ($3-4/100pcs) and relatively inexpensive even at Digikey at $5-6/10.

Since I have no experience with them, perhaps I’ll get the cheaper SOT23 to play with and if I fry them, no harm done 🙂

Sorry but I am not the guy that can help you on your h bridge electronic design.
All my circuit are very simple and basic.
Regarding voltage for latching solenoid operations, in my experience 12v constant are more than enough to operate most of the valve’s, but this is true because I use a battery.
If you use a capacitor the voltage will drop immediately when you open your circuit….
So you need to start well above 12v.
If you want you can find in the market signal relay that can be connected to a Esp gpio for about 1$ each, I think is the simplest and cheaper solution!

Hello all,

First I want to thank everyone involved in this great project.

I compiled firmware 2.1.7 and 2.1.8 on Arduino IDE 1.8.5, for a breadboard setup, but wifi connectivity did not work properly. The AP was visible but I could not connect to it. After using the test mode found in 2.1.8, things did not improve. Long story short, after a few days tinkering with the code I managed to pinpoint the problem to the function “ui_state_machine()”. Commenting it solved the problem, wifi working in ap mode and in station mode. Digging even deeper i thing the problem is somewhere in PCF8574 functions. When reading the buttons state the sketch loops to long without a delay() or a yield() and the network processes don’t get called.
This is pretty weird considering there are almost no external libs and the code is what Ray and everyone else uses, and works.
Moving the buttons on ESP8266 GPIOs fixes the issue. I tried esp8266 core 2.4.0 and 2.4.1, no change.

Did anybody encounter this behavior? Could my PCF8574 be defective?
