Wemos D1 Mini is not ESP32 #1

Closed AciDCooL closed 1 year ago

AciDCooL commented 1 year ago

Hi Martin,

I am trying to build this myself but two things I noticed after I got all the parts. Your firmware web installer want a esp32, the Wemos D1 mini v4 is esp8266. Maybe older ones were I don't know but fact is the v4 which is common now cannot be installed this way. And the schematics for the wemos d1 mini are therefore not on the website, only the large nodemcu, so what pins does one connect to with the hx711?.

And also is there a way to make this work for the esp8266? I guess theoretically it should but i'm not super into these board, I can flash them with given firmware but never made any of it myself. I someone could assist that would be awsome. https://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/boards/espressif8266/d1_mini.html

Hello,

there are ESP32 and ESP8226 devices. For example https://womolin.de/produkt/wemos-d1-mini-esp32/

As I have no ESP8266 and this is a very old microcontroller, I can't make changes to whatever is needed for this chip. However I'm open to pull requests if you want to make the changes.

My personal suggestion is, that less than 10€ for the correct Wemos D1 Mini ESP32 is cheaper than figuring out what changes are required to support the old ES8266 ;).

Regards Martin

Makes sense, I guess ill tinker with this one and in the mean time, and order the correct one for this code. thanks for your fast answer Martin. And have a great day.

I updated the BOM to show the correct items with a shop where to get it.

Thanks for submitting your issue. Have a great day too.
