Porting to ESP32-S2? #1

Open glowingkitty opened 2 years ago

glowingkitty commented 2 years ago

Hey there. Thanks for the work with this SMD version of TV-B gone ^.^ Since I find the ESP32-S2 easier to buy then the Attiny85, I was thinking about building an SMD version of TV-B gone with the ESP32-S2. Are you aware of any possible reasons why this shouldn't work or should be tricky? Anything I should consider changing in the code?

Hey,

mmmm....good question. The only thing (that I can remember) is about the signal timing of the LEDs. The ESP32-S2 has more timers so you need to find and configure the right time for sending the signal.

so you defined the correct timing for the Attiny85 in the code? In what part of the code would I need to look for that? Also, since I don't have a TV at home or at the local Hackspace where I mostly work on electronics - any recommendations how else one can test the tv b gone?:D With an oscilloscope?

oh and what about porting to an rp2040 instead? Same story?

Maybe you just buy an Attiny85 :-)

If I would find a place where they are in stock… sure ;)
