Type of ESP32 Board

[nodurah]

Hello Miroslav,

could you please tell me which type of ESP32 board should be selected in the arduino IDE to compile the reflow controller successfully? I couldn't find that piece of information in the documentation.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Nodura

Hi, it should compile fine if you select ESP32 Dev module in Arduino IDE.

Hello, thanks for the quick answer!

hello nodurah, were you able to compile successfully and is your controller already running?

[nodurah]

Hello Miroslav,

thanks for tracking this issue. Right now I am on vacation. As soon I can compile it and get it running again I will get back to you!

Cheers nodurah

Hello,

so I had to opportunity to compile it. There seems to be a typo in the Reflow_Oven_Controller.ino in line 121. The "Reflow_logic.h" is in the original file with a small "r" while the .h is with a capital "R". After fixing that minor issue the code compiles but I get a few errors:

After flashing and reset it starts up but the buttons of the panel are not working.

Maybe you have a working flash image with the latest features that you could provide under "releases"?

Hello,

after further investigation the cause of the error messages seemed to be an outdated arduino-ide. Sorry for that. With the latest

• Arduino ide: 2.2.1
• WifiManager: 2.0.16-rc2 (latest via zip-file)
• all other libraries according to your git repo and also with newest version

it compiles without issues. The problem with the buttons not working nevertheless remains. I also looked into the serial output. The Wifi access points opens only sporadically and when - no connection is possible. The programm seems to be stuck at some point

Any help would be appreciated as the oven by itself was quite useful before the update.

Hi, sorry I forgot to reply to your previous post.

Are you compiling code from the main brain? If so, try to downgrade your ESP support to the 1.0.6 version. I did not compile it for a long time, but I think there is some issue (as you can see 😞 ) with 2.x.x version of the ESP support.

[nodurah]

No worries, with the 1.0.6 ESP version it work flawlessly. You might consider updating the README.md with this helpful piece of information...

Thanks for your support!

Cheers, Nodurah
