Re: view measurements of a sensor via WiFi

Writing out what you want to achieve presumably looks something like ... initially ... open a wifi connection to an access point open a transport layer connection to a server / your computer next ... every 1 ms > check connection, handle disconnection > read MPU6050 acceleration (x,y,z values) > sen...

Re: view measurements of a sensor via WiFi

Perhaps you could tell us more about your requirement.

For example, what is the accelerometer measuring, how often, are you seeking real-time readings, what are you expecting at server ...?

ESP32, Arduino IDE, Parallel Tasks

I have a sketch that - connects to WiFi - connects to MQTT - reads data from a BME688 sensor - sends that data to a server This works, but I am having issues maintaining sensor quality, which degrades on timeouts, say when MQTT needs to re-connect. I am wondering about assigning the sensor read oper...

Re: ESP-WROOM-32 - 3.3v rail voltage excursion

This is a graph of an ESP-WROOM-32 3.3V rail monitored by an ADC connected to another ESP32, so that the device under test has no load, or capacitors added. This appears to show that the voltage excursions are present even when not powering other devices although they are much lower in magnitude. ht...

Re: ESP-WROOM-32 - 3.3v rail voltage excursion

For measurement, I take the 3.3V rail to a voltage divider, just so that this is moved away from the top end of the ADC range a little. The calculations back-out the impact of the voltage divider to give the 3.3V rail voltage, which seems to average about 3.265V with these three external boards powe...

ESP-WROOM-32 - 3.3v rail voltage excursion

I have a few of these ESP-WROOM-32 devices (38 pin). I am powering the following from the 3.3V supply which should not, I think, cause any issues in terms of supply capability. - BME280 - 1115 ADC - 9808 temperature sensor The 3.3V rail has parallel 0.1u and 10u capacitors to ground. The ESP-WROOM-3...

Re: MCP9808 Temperature Reading Incorrect

For testing, I bought another couple of these and they both worked out of the box.

Same manufacturer chip ID reported in testing. The new ones I got have a different PCB layout.

I'm guessing that quite simply the first board I got was faulty.

Re: Auto Reconnect to Station without disconnecting AP

I don't have a definitive answer, but a couple of thoughts which might stimulate some debate ... Have you tried the options "WiFi.setAutoReconnect(true) and WiFi.persistent(true) to see if that will force auto-reconnect? Did WiFi.reconnect() not work? Was that why you're looking at WiFi.disconnect()...

MCP9808 Temperature Reading Incorrect

Hello I am having problems getting the correct temperature from a MCP9808 I am using the Arduino IDE and have tried both the MCP9808_RT and the Adafruit MCP9808 Libraries In all cases, the temperature returned is -34 degC while the board is at room temperature. Having failed to get this working, I t...
