Any Project progress / new more stable FW version #124

Hi,

this is still an interesting project and I wonder is there is still activity respectively work on a more stable ESP8266 firmware that is addressing the known bug in the code.

thanks guys, TH

In my opinion the only relevant progress was done by JonasArnold in his fork, but he never make a pull request. I tried his firmware and for me its stability is better respect the original one.

I "forked" his repo and I fixed the compilation errors related to the latest ESP8266 core version. You can find my repo here: https://github.com/mrv96/ESP8266_ArtNetNode_v2/tree/JonasArnold

For me it worked this, and this only after I tried many others. It's based on the same project, so no evident differences: https://github.com/bombcheck/ESP8266_ArtNet-LED-DMX-Node

@Barabba11 why is the project that you linked better? Which are the differences with respect the original one?

Barabba11 commented 4 years ago

Simply, it works :) one week passed, many tries with different other projects and it's a bit hard to remember, what I can say: the port A don't produce any output on port TX0 (and the working relase does), it outputs only on port B outputs, I saw it with oscilloscope, but probably it has a jitter problem because my fixtures never reacted. The bombcheck I connected to port A and don't test the port B for the short time, so I can't say for now, that maybe the problem was only that the TX pin-Port A was not outputing. Or other enhancements of this release solved other problems too.. For sure having an output from UART is much better (talking about jitter) then a simulated one, and it looks that DMX is particular sensible to jitter.

Hi, I'm a developer. Although i'm new with nodemcu language, since i need a stable and minimal version of this project i'll put the hands inside this code. I needn't the webserver and other stuff. I will hardcode the settings into variables so the logic will be: Loop forever looking the xxxx ssid. When found just connect using yyyy password and start to receive/send artnet traffic using hardcoded settings like ip,name,ssid,password and modes. I think that having a minimal solution could be the only road to find serious bugs
