problem with micronova card of the year 2010 #32

Thanks for your work, I tried to apply it to my Pellets Ecoteck stove with micronova board of the year 2010. With your code I didn't have any messages in the Serial Monitor, so I modified the code to understand what happens. I found that in my case, in the checkStoveReply function the rxCount variable is always zero. How has this ever happened to you? Perhaps the firmware of my board does not support communication, even if the serial connector is present. I thank you in advance.

Hello, if there is the connector it is almost sure that it can communicate, because it can be useful in some cases for the repairer in case of failure. This may be due to a bad connection. You can try this program to see if the stove reacts: https://github.com/philibertc/micronova_controller/blob/master/tests/esp8266/test1_on_off.ino This program simply turns the stove on and off two seconds later.

Sorry for my late reply, Sincerely, philibertc

Hi, thanks for your reply. I tried the ON-OFF test with no result, I also tried the test2 read data. Even with this .ino nothing happens, even the Serial Monitor is white. I have modified the code to have a serial monitor on a web server (simple business complication, but I wanted to be sure) in this way I have verified that the card is not responding, rxCount variable is always zero.

Hello, This is really embarrassing. Are you sure you have connected the cables correctly? image image Sincerely, philibertc

next weekend, I take the stove out of its position and retest the connector. Let's hope for my mistake. I will keep you updated.
